I found the solution to carrying a dragons horde, a portable Hole. In theory, if every fit nicely you could carry ~36,935,017 gp in one
Not like the money will do them any good in NATO IQ either. Barely anything to purchase in an impoverished nation trapped inside its own demi plane.
My players have enjoyed spending and investing their gains from the heist for several months of in-game time. They've invested in several businesses, one of them obtained a noble title, and they're looking to expand even farther. Now they're on their way from Waterdeep to Baldur's Gate, following the Trade Way, to establish a tavern there and turn Trollskull Tavern into a chain across the Sword Coast.
Little do those poor souls realize, they won't be making it past Daggerford, for the mists will meet them there...
Did they agree to play Curse of Strahd? You really shouldn't send your players to somewhere like Barovia or the Tomb of Horrors without clearing that with them.
Oh yeah, the players have known for weeks, it's their characters that are unaware
Springing Barovia on an unsuspecting party is the most evil thing I can imagine
What about springing the Tomb of Horrors on an unsuspecting party?
