I'm sorry that I don't have any good suggestions (sell them?), but I have to ask: How the heck did you end up with 250 decanters of endless water? :smallconfused:

Irrigate parched farmland?

Sell 249 of them and buy something else?

Going on a dungeon crawl? Flood the place, wait. When it drains, pick up the loot from the drowned inhabitants.

Water fight!

on the flooding part, that would be a strength check of 8X250 so i would have to roll a 2000!!!!

Actually, it would be 250 separate checks, not one cumulative check.

Donate them to needy fire fighters?

Become a fire fighter. Teleport in, save the baby, extinguish the fire, get the glory.

Combine with cone of cold spells, travel the world making hockey rinks for needy kids.

You can produce 7500 gallons of water per round - that's 5 short tons of water per second. Aside from the obvious use of making a hovercraft powered by geysers, you can flood pretty much anything you want almost immediately.

Hmmm... Evil player thought mode is activated...

If you take an enemy hostage, you could waterboard him?
You could drown the Tarrasque?
You could take over a kingdom by making their armies wet and drowned?

what about just turning the kingdom into a lake?

Why? Use a lower flow. 5x250 is over 200 gallons/ second, or 30 cubic feet / second. It may take a while to flood the dungeon, but hey, if you had time to make 250 decanters, it sounds like you have plenty of time...

Flickerdart

Or just use less decanters per dungeon with a high flow to flood more dungeons at a time!

You need to bring about the industrial revolution? Start new cities? Start a Desert empire? Remember, you have a LIMITLESS source of freshwater and mechanical power... several perpetual energy machines... that is a really really big deal... you can go empire building with that treasure...

yeah but then i would have to put up with all of the whining. i could then drain the water some how and take all of their items.

If anything, you could always open a tavern, brew your own Adult Beverages, and become a town's best friend

or i could sell water and give cities water pressure. so much water pressure that sinks will take their hands off.

You are a Wizard? Develop a spell that drains water in a large radius. Then Widen it. Drain all of the water in a kingdom. Then offer to "return" the water in exchange for massive ransoms. Rinse and repeat.

You, sir, win this thread. It's perfect. Open a portal Gate (if not high enough level, pay a high-level Wizard to do it for you) and start flooding the entire plane. Have anti-fire elemental defenses prepared in case anything nasty should come through looking for the source of the vile liquids pouring into the plane (perhaps you can summon some water elementals to help you out). Then, when the last denizens come through begging for mercy, show none.


How much XP would that be worth?
Enough to go from level 1 to level 21.

Remind him that you're just creating a BBEG for a Good party (likely played by you guys) to fight later. For example, defeat you to restore balance to the elemental planes. It could make an interesting campaign, and it should persuade him to let you reap the benefits of your work.

Use them as a power source for your new steampunk empire. Remember, if you use magic to convert all that water to steam, a single decanter can generate half the thrust as the space shuttle's main engine. Surely you can generate a new industrial revolution.

Step 1: turn invisible.
Step 2: sneak up on random good peasant with a family.
Step 3: tell him/her that a flood is coming and he should build an arc
Step 4: create flood
Step 5: Ascend to godhood
