Paul Beakley This is pretty accurate from the thread you linked:

As Dunheved observed, if they’re so obsessed over the treasure, they’re most likely suffering from Dragon Sickness, so I would consider to give them Shadow Points automaticly, instead of having them roll any kind of Corruption Test.

The Hobbit is about a bunch of dwarves who cause huge amounts of trouble, including a war, because of their lust for gold, and their leader finally realizes (on his deathbed) that maybe friendship is just as important as gold, or even more so. If you’re trying to figure out how your characters can carry their treasure home, they’re probably already corrupted. 😛
