They were 4th or 5th level at the time and I boosted a dragon hoard to have over 40,000 gp and around 60,000 gp worth of magic items/valuables.I did it as an experiment to see "what happens". I don't have magic item shops in the game, so using it to buy magic stuff is still difficult. So that helped with my decision. So I wanted to see if they used it to do things that would give more flavor to their characters that they may normally not have done. Like, buy a house and a caretaker. Or invest it into a new business. Or whatever. They certainly liked finding that hoard.Then, one of them died in the battle against that dragon. So they spent some on a True Resurrection. Then a session later, another one of them died at the hands of a Minotaur. So they spent it on another True Resurrection. I was not out to kill them or anything. I guess they figured, "Well, we have the money so we may as well go with a True Res." So there went my experiment. They laughed about the whole thing since they knew why I provided them with a better than normal treasure. They were not so cordial about the whole thing a month later when one of the players who's PC died and was resurrected quit the game due to legitimate real life stuff. That was kind of a waste.</blockquote>
