Okay so while my good friends are in sharn on their secret mission that might include killing me, I decided to steal an airship from lyrandar tower. Here's what I got so far:

1. Climb to the top in the middle of the night
2. wait until the ship I'm after docks and unloads
3. jump down onto the ship after every one's off
4. well... that's all I got. I need a way to control the airship with a -1 cha modifier, and then what to do to get away

I'm a rouge 5/ assassin 1 and have featherfall as an assassin spell if I need to escape.

You should take one or two hostages one to force the other to work and one to work fearing for the others life. Then steal some of their cargo at the next dock and do whatever you want

cargo?!? I'm a 6th level halfling risking my life! I DON'T want cargo. I want the whole airship! I already thought of the whole hostage thing, but what do I do with an airship afterwards. and how do I even get the airship to take off with having a greater chance of filing than succeding. my DM calculated it and I have something like a 63% chance of dying, 33% chance of living after escaping, and 3% to succeced. I want the whole airship, and I'm riscing my life for it!

Wait a level or two, get some co-horts with the leadership feat, and then grab that airship pirate-style!

The REAL problem is that an airship isn't left unguarded anymore than any expensive cargo ship is left unguarded. There will be people watching over that.

Piloting the airship isn't such a big deal when it comes to getting it away from the tower. You need to get your hands on something that will let you cast charm monster. Or possibly find an excoriate Lyrandar and bribe him.

What do you do with an airship afterwards? Get it back to Lyrandar safely so they aren't as ****** and hopefully don't post a bounty on your head and hire Tharashk to find you. Airships tend to be extremely important to them. Or at least don't spend TOO much money on finding you.

I'm not giving it back, I already assassinated a Cyre Noble. I also need to do it now. Are there any items that let you use charm monster.Howmuch would it cost?

If you have no uses for an airship why keep it? It's pretty conspicious. At least sell it and make some seious gold. Killing a cyre noble is no big deal on the grand scheme of things. Cyreans don't have many resources left.

Do you have use magic device skill? If so wands and scrolls can cast it. Otherwise you'll need a magic item that can cast it at least 1/day.

The mourning hasn't happened yet, and I want to keep the airship to become a pirate! I can't use any wands.
