It is debated what to do with the gold and finally a trusted villager is send to the city to buy the things which were agreed upon. Too bad, the trust was misplaced and he rides off with all the money to start a new live. Will he be successful? Will he turn to banditry once the money runs out? Who knows?Or if you want it a bit more violent: When the next small scale merchant which runs the loop around several villages selling pots and stuff like that notices their new wealth as the village wants to basically buy his entire stock, he and his guards (brother and two cousins) kill a few villagers and steal the money to start a better live elsewhere.But the idea of the lord of the village is turning it upside down for hidden wealth to tax is good too.Personally I dislike fairy tale worlds where every good deed has good consequences and everyone lives happy ever after once the PCs passed through the area. Thats both boring and unrealistic.</blockquote>
