[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 4599990, member: 1956"] Well, the basic problem is that a 10th-level party is relying on mundane ship and 16 1st-level NPCs for surviving environment and for traveling. Thus, dragon or not, if they meet some encounter of appropriate EL for their level, they will either lose their ship or crews, sooner or later. This is like 10th-level characters using ordinary camels to travel across dangerous desert. This kind of adventure simply don't work well IMHO. If characters are at higher level, they should use better vehicle or spells for traveling. Say, adamantine-clad magic ship which automatically sail, flying carpet, some magic item which enables them to breath water 24 hr/day (thus they can walk on sea-floor) and such. Or, they can be a "special trouble shooter team" for a bigger fleet. When a monster attacks the fleet, a ship or two, or several crews may be lost unless PCs can stop that monster quickly. But at least, that will not cause TPK and the story continues. [/QUOTE]
