[QUOTE="Degwerks, post: 6839590, member: 6803709"] There's about 100,000 g.p. sitting in a Kingdom's Treasury that for the most part isn't guarded by anyone of note. As in insanely huge class levels or the like. I'm a person of note in this kingdom and have met and associated with the ruler. I've seen his handwriting and I'll have access to a royal proclamation and a copy of the royal seal on paper soon. I've got a +6 to forge documents too. I'm 10th level Warlock who has Seeming, Illusory Script, Greater Invisibility, Minor Illusion, Meld With Stone, Darkness, Charming actions, Hypnotic Pattern, Dimension Door, Dispel Magic and Fly. Soon I'll have some access to a means to Teleport to the Treasury while the leader of the kingdom is absent. I'll be nowhere near the kingdom as far as anyone else is concerned and my alibi would be unbreakable for the most part. By the time there is either a successful or failed withdraw attempt by myself, the leader won't possibly find out for quite some time. My plan (and I hope you folks can advise me on bettering it or another) is to get access to a copy of the Royal seal to make a copy on paper, use Illusory Script to forge several documents in the leader's handwriting, authorizing large withdraws and use Seeming to make myself and a hired crew (porters/muscle) to appear as the legitimate guards and possibly a high level court functionary. My Deception mod would be about a +9 and could also get advantage on any checks. I'll hold out until I'm assured to have a few Teleports available through some hard earned means before I try this out. I'll teleport from my alibi location, sneaking away for a bit so nobody knows whats going on, and arrive with my crew (all of us disguised with Seeming) to the Treasury. I'll present the document (I'll have several) and withdraw a large portion, we'll leave and return with new disguises and I'll be a different known court functionary and do the same thing. Now 100k in gold, (if it's all gold), will weigh 1800 pounds, I can carry 20k magically and will need to have several chests capable of containing & carrying roughly the same amount. After we manage to pull this off (doubtful but who knows) I'll need to dispose of the crew, loose lips sink ships. Probably teleport them into the air instead of our hideout spot and let them crash to the ground OR tell them we're teleporting to my ship, which is currently about 1/2 mile underwater and let them drown. There really isn't anything to buy in this campaign (it's not magic heavy with shops or the like) that I could use this gold for, but I really have to try to steal it anyway. It's screaming out to me like the movie Good Fellas or something, walk in bluff, deceive and walk out with cash. The best part is Nobody will suspect me at all, I'll be hundreds of miles away with a rock solid alibi. I could use ideas on leaving a false trail to someone else as a culprit though. Any ideas on making this heist a sure thing? Where should I stash all this money, I can only carry 20k at a time on me. I'll have to constantly trade in gold for platinum or gems whenever possible. What should I try and do with the money? lol [/QUOTE]
