Here is the list of all the treasures the party should gain during the Frozen Star module, which is part of the Reign of Winter Adventure path. As I am converting the adventure for Pathfinder 2e, and I have moved the location to Barsoom (Mars) from Tlexia, the list of items is quite alien. Sprinkle these items throughout the adventure. Anything missed can be dumped into Yrax’s treasure hoard at the end of the adventure. When I ran the adventure, I just replaced items on the fly as the PCs moved through the adventure. I wasn’t pedantic about it, knowing that assuming they defeat Yrax, they will get all the loot at some point.
Note, this is for my group of 5 PCs. I also have a house rule that any technological weapon (like the long-blaster) stops working on a natural 1. This represents the ancient technology running out of ammo, energy, or just breaking. So these items have a time limit.
