Neogi Mindspider Ship

[Dming For Noobs]

So, long story short, my players will soon be going to fight the Neogi, a race of spiderlike aberrations that live in the under dark. The adventure is there is a Mindspider ship with cargo on board stolen from the client. They find the ship broken. In the text it says a ship needs a "lifejammer" to function. Does anyone have any idea what I should do about it when they (inevitably) try and fix it. It is a device that uses a creature strapped in to fly it, stealing its life force.

so... how much would you say one of these would cost?

This (http://lost.spelljammer.org/ShatteredFractine/shipyard/docks/shipyd30/ships/mindspider.html)might help, as might this (http://lost.spelljammer.org/bwafer/mindspider.html)

I'd say the lifejammer is the most expensive part, probably at least 50%.
I also think the prices are rather low, so you could easily double or triple the most expensive and still be fine, imo.

The problem with that method is there is no set price for it. It essentially pays for itself because the Neogi consider the ship almost sacred, and will kill everyone on board to get it back. Therefore, More loot=More adventures. We all win:smallbiggrin:

Edit: Ah, I see the prices. Should have checked the links before posting. Now how would they get one?

Short version steal one or get someone to make it. more (http://www.spelljammer.org/sj3e/) links (http://lost.spelljammer.org/ShatteredFractine/shipyard/) might help.
