PFS2 6-15 Lost and Forgotten

[avagdu]

I am prepping this for PaizoCon, and I see one question that really should have a clarification:
If the PCs give up the items (TBs) found in the scenario, do they lose the TBs? Normally I would say no, but with the specific line of "Any items given to her are lost, however." in the conclusion, I am confused.

Good question. Page 31 specifically calls out treasure bundles from items recovered or obtained, so my first guess is, as long as they've been found in the first place, it's fine. But yeah, if they've handed them over, it would stand to reason they're also lost (and crossed off your chronicle sheet), as it's the "easy way out," so to say.

I'm leaning towards "gone is gone," but I can see it going either way.
