If they are just Adamantium plated, then that's a very expensive and very useless feature.

Takes 10 minutes to cast.
And doesn't work on magic. Since I suspect any non-adamantine parts of the ship are enchanted to resist Fire this propably won't work.

Hmm, Turtle ships.
Attacking from the top is stupid, attacking from the sides is suicidal, and attacking from the front is asking to get shot at.
Like most turtles, these little ships are most vulnerable underneath. Yes it runs the risk of losing loot, a heresy that makes my skin crawl don't you doubt it, but it is the most likely avenue of attack to succeed.
Time to pull a trick out of my namesake's repertoire.

Huh, I'm not sure what I find more tempting, all that Adamantine, or the implication that there is a Coautl held captive on the ship, which I suspect might be another fragment of the World Serpent from which Yss originates.

Wait World serpent? Yss is Jormungandr? When did this happen?

I wonder how much it weighs? If it's within our fully buffed carrying capacity, could we Plane Shift the ship right out from under the Efreetis' noses, @DragonParadox?
It could just vanish right out from under them.

Let's see. A turtle-ship is usually 9m to 12m wide and 30m to 37m long. Let's assume 10m and 35m for our targets, giving us a upper deck surface area of roughly 350m². Let's assume they use a really small armor layer of just one centimeter, getting us a volume of 3.5m³. That's 2/5ths of an inch, so using any less then that and you are wasting adamantine where a slightly thicker layer of iron would have done better.
Since Adamantine armor is not lighten then steel, we multiply with iron's density (7.784 tons per m³) and get a total amount of material of 27.224 tons of Adamantine per ship.
@Goldfish, don't sink these buckets. We are taking that home.

Not on these ships, these are the military ships heading to the plane of earth.

Stick.

Did, comma after purpose.
If he heard.
A full what?
If you had been too slow?
them them and then adamantium.
Then one of two is true:
1) The actual rules aren't what we are familiar with, being non-stupid.
2) It's still stupid, but there have been many epic casters through the ages, and none managed that, and not for lack of trying.

If we keep doing shit like this I fully expect a rumor to propagate around the planes of a Red Dragon that will not only steal valuables, but vehicles, buildings, and entire landmasses just because he can.

I suppose each of the inhabitants would get a Will save to resist it, as they probably count as wielding the item for such a stunt.
So not impossible.

We can Bloodwish it.
@DragonParadox, I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that it's option 1). Can you confirm that the rules as written for epic spellcasting won't be used as is?
EDIT: We should have an insane amount of resources in men, reagents, high-level spellcasters and us. I'm counting the "reign in the Abyss" thing as an epilogue action at best, not something we'll do next month. And I'll keep having hope!
Also Lya is clearly specialized in Planar Lore (see her PrC) and how it interacts with Souls. That's good.

- being near locations is my passion.
My first thoughts are that they are being cheapskates, but, maybe it's an even better, or more specialised alloy.
Before attacking summon a few things, cast dim. Anchor on the boat?
@DragonParadox what does greater arcane vision show? What could Yrten tell us to expect in terms of defences or mobility (can the boat planeshift, does it have, spell immunity: dimensional anchor on it ect?)

@DragonParadox, to be clear on this, is there only one turtle-ship or many?

If there is more than one that would be problematic, no way we can mate with all of them at the same time.
Maybe do some kind of mating display instead? Dragons like tap dancing right?
There are three of them.

So if we assume that a few other structural parts of the ships are made with Adamantine, we can round up to 30 tons per ship.
That means the wracking paper of our loot is already 90 tons of Adamantine. Plus the cargo and dead bodies, that's a very, very profitable attack.

We might have to disintegrate a little bit of that so our party can get in and attack.

A Maximised Searing Breath could get through that.
Fire resistance barely matters and Protection from Energy would be overwhelmed.
