Let say you are a spell caster and the black tentacles or some other beast has you.
What Item can you buy or have on you to help you get out of it?

I was playing PFS and was under black tentacles and cloudkill. My dwarven tank of a cleric survived till the end of combat, but was of no use to the party (14 str, 12 dex I was never getting out)

my list so far for the 10k or less is:
Potion of gaseous form
Cape of Mountebank
There are lots of answers what is cheep and good

Alchemical Grease gives you a bonus to Escape Artist checks, iirc.


Ring of freedom of movement. But that isn't cheap enough. A wand of freedom of movement, maybe (you can use it while grappled).


Salve of Slipperiness:

Aura moderate conjuration; CL 6th

Slot —; Price 1,000 gp; Weight —

Description

This substance provides a +20 competence bonus on all Escape Artist checks and combat maneuver checks made to escape from a grapple. The salve also grants a +10 competence bonus to the wearer's Combat Maneuver Defense for the purpose of avoiding grapple attempts. In addition, such obstructions as webs (magical or otherwise) do not affect an anointed individual. Magic ropes and the like do not avail against this salve. If it is smeared on a floor or on steps, the area should be treated as a long-lasting grease spell. The salve requires 8 hours to wear off normally, or it can be wiped off with an alcohol solution (even wine).

Salve of slipperiness is needed to coat the inside of a container meant to hold sovereign glue.

Construction

Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, grease; Cost 500 gp

The Salve of slipperiness is like an expensive but more effective potion of Grease.
Nice but expensive.

Other Salve have up to 7 uses this one does not say so I am guessing just one, for 7 uses this would most likely be my answer. for just one maybe I would stick to the 5 gp alchemical grease or a potion of grease for 50 gp


I'd try a gun.
