Message: <blockquote data-quote="James McMurray" data-source="post: 18044" data-attributes="member: 743">In my campaign (many may remember the lawyer posts, nd various dragon posts) the party has been tracking down Dragon Mountain, a plane shifting mountain. They have been doing this in order to kill the Dragon that lives there, as he has been a thorn in their side for a long time now.There is still a  few months of game-time before the mountain arrives in the plane, but they have already beaten it, and are now dividing the spoils. Here's how:The party had signed a contract with a powerful dragon that would allow them to kill their enemy in exchange for giving the dragon the mountain and a share of the treasure within. They had been hunting dragons for a while, and were told in no uncertain terms that it wouldn't be tolerated, and for every dragon that died, so would  ahuman city.They struck a bargain (using their own lawyers and having to contend with the dragon's devilish attrney, who almost screwed them twice.Meanwhile, their nemesis wants an amulet the cleric of the party has. He teleports to their location and calls in some friends he has planar allied: 3 smoke para-elementals and 6 ethereal filchers. The elementals act as a very effective distraction, while the filchers grab various items and take them to the dragon. In chasing down his sword and shield, the paladin of the party notices the dragon, who tries to use a suggestion on him, but is prevented by protectiob from evil. The next round, the paladin moves to the dragon, who decides too teach this upstart a lesson.To make a long story short, due to some good rolls on the part of the party, and a miscalculation on the part of the over-confident dragon (he felt his improved invisibilty would save him, but hadn't counted on the cleric's invisibility purge), the party managed to slay the beast.Their contract listed that event as the catalysst for them having defeated dragon mountain, and they must now divide the spoils with the Great Wyrm they dealt with. However, since the mountain was on another plane, they had to find it and travel there. They managed this by using the contract, whose terms stated that items must be gathered in a central location in the mountain, to be divided there. So as not to be in violation of the contract, the mediator (devil) and the great wyrm told the paraty where it was. They plane shifted and wind walkd (along with a planar ally celestial lawyer) to the mountain. The spoils are being divided now, And since it was the mediator's contractual obligation to gather and identify the items, they party doesn't even have to fight anyone in the mountain!That's several months of planning down the tubes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /></blockquote>
