When running adventure paths, do the written, planned encounters require you to add treasure using the "treasure" type section listed for the creature in the Bestiaries?
Or are the pre-written encounters already including whether or not there is additional treasure?
For example:
Reign of Winter (Mother, Maiden, Crone)...
D9.) Nostafa (Night Hag, Treasure: Standard): Encounter specifically states she is wearing a Heartstone as all Night Hags do, but also has a Necklace of Fireballs, and carries a Bottle of Messages.
D7.) Upasundra, Asura (Treasure standard; weapons listed above plus other treasure).
There is NO treasure listed in this block, but the creature description says she carries a Masterwork Longsword, Spear and Kukri. Is that all this encounter has, or should I determine additional random treasure?
Thanks,

What's listed in the stat block is what they have on them. The Treasure block for an encounter is used if there is treasure in the room not on the NPCs, such as; a dragons hoard, a stash of coins under the floorboards, or a expensive item on the table that the NPCs were gambling on when the party enters.
Note about adding treasure to APs: the adventure paths give about 125%of the wealth by level guidelines for a 4person group. So know that if you add more and the Party doesn't miss the bad of coins under the floorboards they will have access to more than the wealth by level guidelines allows, and you may need to adjust future encounters
Great, thats what I assumed.
Planned Encounters as written vs Unplanned/Random encounters.
Thanks!
