Well, yesterday I realized that walking around with the entire contents of Shadowvia's treasury in my inventory was NOT a good idea when I got killed by a Creeper, THEN got killed by an invisible mob on my way back to get my stuff (resulting in that unfortunate instance of Things Stop Existing),
I THEN learned while mining to re-fill the treasury that dropping off stuff is ALSO a good idea, as I re-acquired Shadowvia's treasury and then subsequently lost it again to yet ANOTHER Creeper (resulting in me nicknaming then "Duke's Bane").
The only saving grace was two diamonds held in reserve, an iron pick held in reserve, and the fact that the cavern in which I died (I should really upload a screenshot, it just looks incredible) is rich in iron and coal. Oh, and the fact that I conveniently did not mine out a diamond deposit as I made my way to my doom, giving me 4 more diamonds and enough to get a sword, pick, and a shovel.
