You want the DM to tell them about the rubies on the ground because they said they wanted to loot the bodies?

Rubies lying openly on the ground should have been described during the description of the area.

I agree, but why tell him about the rubies when he loots a corpse?

Context, friend, context. The guy is asking to loot a body. A body which must have already been established to exist. Which means the room must have been described. Which means the rubies should already have already been mentioned.

No one should have to specifically “search the room” before finding out that there are shiny gemstones lying openly upon the ground.

And if the implication is that they were once on the body but now are NEAR the body, then even if it wasn’t stated when they first entered the room it’s absolutely something that should’ve been stated then
