[QUOTE="John Dallman, post: 9223721, member: 6999616"] AD&D1e, the Avalon campaign. We have been evacuating the assets of a provincial cathedral of the Church of Mammon, god of wealth. The cathedral and the surrounding provincial capital were wrecked in "Skyfall," an orbital bombardment that took place a few game years ago, but the vaults were untouched, apart from the entrance being buried. Getting into the vaults requires casting the correct spell to open each door. We're doing this on behalf of the Church of Mammon, but there are politics involved that would be complicated to explain. Last session we found the keys to the safes. This session we got [I]organised[/I]. We had only about 2500lb capacity in bags of holding, but we were able to evacuate all the L1 to L4 scrolls and corresponding potions. We had an item of teleportation with a high weight limit for going back to base, and two High Priests of Mammon (one PC, one NPC) to use Word of Recall to get back here. We opened the L4 safe, which had 40-odd tons of gold in it, and moved a few tons closer to the exit. Then we found out that the guards in this post-apocalypse city had spotted where we'd dug out the entrance, so we sent all the gold with the NPC high priest back to base.
