Question speaks for itself but for some background:
Im creating a oneshot in which Mammon (Archfiend of greed) has tricked a dwarven lord into accepting a deal that reads: "your mines will have undepletable riches for 201 generations at the cost of 1% of the total wealth gathered + a fee of 1M GP per generation". Obviously, the Dwarven lord figured that since dwarves live 350+ years, obtaining 1m GP in a generation seemed easy enough. But Mammon didnt specify that it were dwarven generations, and took ants as his generation-benchmark creatures. so now after about 201 years he comes to collect and obviously the dwarves are f****d. so the PC's (its a high level oneshot) are about to ruin Mammon's day.
The dwarven city is home to about 15k residents
I just have no real concept of how much wealth can be obtained from an endless mine in 201 years. Would the dwarves be doomed? or would they be like "you lied but here is your 201m GP and now piss off?" I at least want my oneshot to be somewhat believable...
