[QUOTE="thethain, post: 7057515, member: 6874561"] Honestly I don't think 10,000 g would be able to purchase a sphere on annihilation, the DMG suggests a starting price for legendary items at 50,000 +.Maybe if you found a seller who was willing to put it on payment plans and was taking 5k a week. But that seems an unlikely scenario. First, you need forbiddance, cast every day for a month, which means hiring a high enough spellcaster to perform it and burning 1k in materials. Next Guards and Wards placed over the same area. Finally, as a last resort in the panic or vault you have a guard (or set) with ideally 3+ Cubes of force, and enough food to last a long time. The rest of the money can be spent on traditional guards. Your panic room guards would also hopefully have a sending stone or something to call in the cavalry when they are under assault. Maybe have the structure designed so there are multiple entrance/exits to the vault, and inside is a killswitch that would completely collapse a particular side of the structure. (even a collapse doesn't instantly kill an assaulting wizard, its hard to perform somatic components while your hands are completely pinned by rubble) As for assaulting, it would take a powerful wizard(s), (to dispel wards, and break down the cube of force before they recharge) and some muscle to clear out the guards. Surviving the collapse would require a good deal of work, but would be possible. Ultimately, It will be extremely difficult to save the girl before the last two guards kill her when they are down to 1 cube left. [/QUOTE]
