Yes, we expect he will try to do something along those lines. However, this is also a low money world. We started with only 20 gold at regular prices. My guy is 9th level and has about 2,000 gold in items.Dross said:And to be an evil DM, the crap load of guards do make off with the goodies, just after knocking you out.
While we think he will screw us somehow, we also suspect that this is were he may make up some of the character wealth that a character of our level should have with a little extra for future levels.
Really, all we are getting is a bunch of light weight masterwork items and enough gold to buy a small mansion. But I don't really want to cover that again. The DM might be a bit on the crazy side, but that is fine with us, and since we are fighting creatures now that can only be hit by magic and we have none, most of these items really won't help that much anyway.
I don't want to defend the DM so please don't say how insane he is, just comment on how we can carry more loot through the portal.
NOTE: The DM is most likely looking at this, so a side note, we don't think you are nuts and we are not complaining about not having any money and always getting arrested and striped. I blame the party

Okay, for the record, for those who have been following this thread and the more detailed one lost in the crash, I made a Mithral Wagon that can be converted to a sleigh to go over snow. It also has a mithral cover top and is buoyant and has a mast so you can sail with it, without the horses of course. I'm working on the stats for it right now and will most likely show off my bling here, just cause a few have e-mailed me about it.
Also, keeping up with the rat 'bastard' the DM is, We, or I mean I, almost died last session from a bear. No, not a normal bear, it was about 20-30 foot high and had a 4 foot wide head. Since I was alone, I ran like a school girl, if I didn't have haste, I would have been dead, as it was, I barely survived.
If ya know anything about G&G and HP for large of bigger creatures, you would have ran too
Not quite a million gaurds to steal our free massive amounts of look, but just as good.
Damn the DM![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")

According to page 162 in the PHB, a strength 10 character has the following load limits:
Light: 0-33lbs.
Medium: 34-66lbs.
Heavy/Maximum Load: 67-100lbs.
Lift: 100-200lbs. (You can lift up to twice your maximum load and stagger around with it (5ft. per round).
Drag/Push: 500lbs. (5 times your max load, possibly up to 1,000lbs.)
A Cart costs 15gp and weighs 200lbs. As you don't seem to have access to the first level spell, Mount, you'll have to drag it as a person. I would certainly call a cart with wheels a "favourable condition", so you could load the cart down with as much as it can hold (as long as the weight of the cart and the weight of the gear don't total more than you can drag).
Now, it gets a little fuzzy rules-wise, but here are my thoughts. A cart is made of wood, with some metal (or it would weight quite a bit more). In order to reduce the weight of the cart, you'd want to make the wooden parts out of Darkwood, and the metal parts out of Mithril. That cuts your weight in half, to a 100lb. cart. The value of the cart would increase by however much Darkwood increases an item's price. Then, you load the cart with what you can. Personally, I wouldn't allow the load to weigh more than a ton, as I doubt even the Darkwood and Mithril could take the strain. The other consideration is that this is a small, two-wheeled cart. I'd figure it won't have a great deal of holding space, so make sure that whatever you transport is dense, to conserve on space. I'd guess that the small, two-wheeled cart wouldn't be more than 4 feet wide by 5 feet long.
You could try the process with a wagon, which while it would certainly hold more cargo, it is much heavier (it is designed to be pulled by a team of at least two horses).
