Our party consist of a ratfolk mouser, a ratfolk beastmorph/vivisectionist (me), a tiefling wizard, a merfolk bard, an ocean elf and an undine cleric (CN). We're all level 5 and the campain is on the shackles (can't recall the exact name, it's pirate themed)
We met an undead ship and one of our players character died and got his soul stolen by a bell, so I wanna hunt it down to destroy it to free his soul ( A barbarian, he's playing a wizard now). I'd normally toss fireballs at it until it's dead but the problem is that if the captain (some sort of undead that tosses spectral hands at people to insta-kill them, not sure what it is but I'll just tanglefoot bag it into submission) dies, the whole ship dissapears and respawns at a later date, so we need something more... focused.
I was thinking of using rust powder but it doesn't work on magical items, is there something else I could toss at it? some focused explosive or something specialized on item destruction? Like petrified ooze but faster.
Our strength scores suck so trying strength checks to break it doesn't seem an option.
Our barbarian buddy is probabbly an undead now, and he had a pretty decent strength score, is there a non-evil way to control undeads?
We got plenty of crafting feats: potions, scrolls, magical tattoos, wondreus items
