Yep. That's right. We're using masses of kobold minions to mine it, too.

This means the party has a huge wealth income.

Here's the catch, though.
Because we understand how D&D works and we do not want to kill the goose laying the golden eggs, we do -not- want to spend -any- of the gold mine proceeds in items that increase our characters' combat performance.

Because, if we do so, then we'll quickly find that the flow of funds dries up and dies. We don't want to give the DM an OOC incentive to take it away.

So, with that in mind.

What suggestions would you have for cool and fun, yet no-impact-on-combat items and investments that a fairly rich low-level party could get? :P

We've discussed stuff like building golems or getting magical traps for our evil lair and such, but no really awesome ideas so far... ^^

Spells are awesome, but it's also fun to get cool stuff to mess around with in addition to the powerful things that'll define what you do in combat.
