Sure, adventurers or dragonslayers might come by and kill Athim then lie about the fight being more exciting than it was, but how will they lift huge piles of melted gold? how would they transport it? even if it has gold value, it would still be too impractical to be transported.
If my old AD&D team found multiple ways of transporting the sinetastic-gold bars (which were larger than ogres) from a giant gold pyramid away in a bag of holly-holding that could only hold what could fit in it's opening then they can manage some smelty-melted gold in a cave, with a box of scraps
