My day has not been fascinating

beccaelizabethI ate soup
because I finally cleared enough space at my table by putting most of the rpg books back on the shelves.
my first choice of soup turned out to have a use by in january
but there was a second can of it that had a year left
... so now I wonder how long I owned that first soup.
I sat down to read more Pathfinder Adventure Path but they keep describing these gigantic hoards of treasure
and I just distracted myself wondering how anyone ever gets it home.
It's bigger than Handy Haversacks. You'd need multiple of the biggest types of Bags of Holding, assuming it'll go inside properly. Portable Holes got nothing on this treasure pile. Treasure Stitching seems like a good trick, though it costs a lot in material components. Floating Discs are actually pretty good, though I don't know if you can cast a bunch of them at once, I still dont quite understand the magic rules for Pathfinder.
One of the forum suggestions was to just summon a bazillion horses
or of course buy them and have jirelings to manage the baggage train.
Practical, but you wonder how they'll all manage in the middle of giant country or somesuch.
... maybe this is what Followers are good for, wearing a lot of treasure each...
The amount of treasure in a pile is already ridiculous and they're only 13th level.
Since they're hunting a Runelord of Greed and have been reading about his shiny shiny city I confidently expect levels of treasure that can drive entire economies.
I, personally, only aspire to magic items Handy Haversack, Goblet of Quenching or Decanter of Endless Water, Sustaining Spoon, and Boots of the Winterlands. Maybe a Necklace of Adaptation if circumstances arise that might mean air supply is an issue. Oh, and some magic item that means Clean All The Time. And the writing desk that means you never run out of pens and paper and have a nice camping place every time. Maaaaaybe a tent that is Bigger On The Inside, but I can probably manage without.
They're not the exciting sort of items, but you'd have everything you ever needed, warm and water and food and air.
... maybe also something to boost your fort saves.
I have no idea what characters would want to spend it all on elsewise.
I suppose they've met a bunch of dragons by now and dragons take more feeding than the Spoon can manage.
Also there's some very cool things a Heal spell or obviously assorted Ressurections would do.
But past a certain point the only thing that much treasure can do is run a kingdom.
... which there are also rules for, so that works out.
Okays, I shall go read some more.
