Hey everyone,
I'm looking for ideas, magical or otherwise, to hide some artifacts from a BBEG thats seeking them. Our DM has a great world going, and we're collecting these dragon orbs and the bad guys are collecting them as well. (yes, weve made all the dragon ball jokes already)
Our main problem is the BBEG is coming for what we've collected. Does anyone know of any wonderous items or other things you could suggest that we could use to hide them? We're in a pretty high magic city at the moment so I think he'd make stuff available in shops or tracking down someone to make it.
If you need more info let me know. Posting half asleep at the moment, but any help would be super appreciated! Thanks!

Character level and system?
Currently working on making a Dex based defender. Check it out hereSpoiler:
Show
Need a few pre-generated characters for a one-shot you are running? Want to get a baseline for what an effective build for a class you aren't familiar with? Check out the Pregen thread here
If ever you are interested what it sounds like to be at my table check out my blog and podcast here
Also, I've recently done an episode on "Refluffing". You can check that out here

And setting? (It's a very different picture if you're playing Dragonlance...)

Bag of Holding
Use the Self-Holding Bag ritual to pretty much put the Bag of Holding inside itself(and you can pull it out anytime by simply grabbing the air and pulling out, or putting it back in the same way). It lasts 24 hours though, so it does have to be recast each morning.

4E and we're all level 15. It's a homebrew world but similiar to the points of light world the DM guide sets up, we have access to the shadowfell and feywild.

That ritual looks good. Looking for something with a bit longer duration but this'll be good in a pinch. Thanks!

Why not fight the BBEG and take him down? If you know where he is going to be when he comes at you can you not lay-in-wait for him?
Also, how big is everything you are hiding? Is it possible for you to open a portal to the astral sea, toss everything in a Leomund's Chest and chuck the chest through the portal?

At this point he's just too tough for us to take out.
The orbs can change size and be taken down to the size of a marble. Checking out that ritual now, thanks for pointing me in that direction!

Do you need them for some purpose of your own, or are you just trying to keep the BBEG from doing things with them?
If it's the latter, do some research on them and figure out how to destroy the ones you've collected. If he needs all of them for some nefarious purpose, that officially renders him hosed.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

My familiarity with dragon orbs is that of Dragonlance: It is JUST easier to smash em if you dont need em. Maybe use them to get a dragon to go kill BBEG for you, since you then dont need to actually be strong enough for him.
No-one can fight a couple dragons at once...
