How Many Claudes Does it Take to Kill a Dragon

[Hero]

I think we should give regular crew 4x the share. That will far from break the bank and it will boost morale.

4x the crew share is pitiful considering the bulk of them only get 4 gc/week. I suggest we give them a bulk payout (couple thousand?) similar to what Capt Ispolis did last time. Let's wait until we get the full value of the loot until we decide.

With this haul, we might be able to buy spy glasses of True Seeing.

I have priced up a spyglass with continuous Darkvision, See Invisibility, and +10 to spot, along with an adder for limited use True Seeing per the "gem of seeing" from the DMG. It's in the "Ship Construction" thread.

I agree they deserve more, but let's not give them too much.  It would be bad if our entire crew up and left because they no longer needed to work.

What is the cost to repair the ship? I will start the list of upgrades below. Please add the list if you think of anything we really need.

Upgrades:

1. See invisible spy glasses
2.
3.

Taiji's list of recommendations:
1. Spyglass of Finding (dark vision, see invisible, +10 spot, maybe limited use true seeing)
2. Anti-scrying wards
3. Translator ("tongues" item)
4. Freedom of movement for the boat (I don't even know if this is possible)
5. Resilient sphere effect on helm
6. Backup magical offense if the ship is attacked when Alpha Squad is on an away mission (e.g., magic missile wands, high level summoning, etc.)

He shouldn't go alone.  He'll need protection.

Yes, there will be armed guards from the crew escorting him to the bank.  In addition, he arranges for Kormier Security Solutions to help with the trip.

We talked about Magic Missile cannons, but could we have Chain Missile cannons made?  They would be long range, do more damage if we so choose, and affect more targets. 

[Malchia]

It might be a good idea to have some wands made of Dispel or Greater Dispel.

[Asinjin]

It would be good to list any items that you found that you want destroyed.  Collar of Poison?

Chain Missile does not bypass SR.

I thought they did on Habololy.  If not, we could always use Force Missiles.  They can't be thwarted by Shield or Brooch of Shielding.

Good idea, can only do regular dispel in a wand.

I think only plain old magic missile has been house ruled to be SR: No.

All other “missile” spells are as written, I think.

DM, can you confirm or deny?

There is a thread on the board about it.  I believe our end result was the magic missile spells all ignore SR, but when you apply a metamagic feat to them, they lose that benefit.

If anyone has any more questions about it, please post on that thread.

Can we sell the dragon only items to Rico?

Claude contacts him and asks, and Rico says he would take them.  However, he does not have much coin right now.
