[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7881620, member: 6801845"] I have a pretty good idea how long it would take to chop up some wood and bind it together to construct a crude single use wall. I have experience building something similar as I've stated multiple times. It doesn't need to be an engineering marvel. As far as setting it on fire, it takes several minutes to burn through wood. Is water allowed in the campaign? I've heard it does wonders countering that flame thing. That's assuming the party had alchemist fire; my PCs occasionally buy the stuff because trolls but I don't remember any of my player's PCs ever doing so. By the time you can afford it, it's not particularly useful. The patrol did not have pitch with them. That is a pre-planned counter to spells like tiny hut kept at a base. Also useful for boiling and dropping on invaders trying to climb the wall. It's also something I've stated many times and included in the original post. Who's crawling into the hut? If the hobgoblins hadn't had a fire breathing mount with them there would have been some other tactic. Maybe smoke them out or find some wasp nests or cast a spell or any number of other things. The counters are going to be situational depending on the enemy and the resources available. In any case when you DM feel free to run it differently. [/QUOTE]
