[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 5531961, member: 29252"] Sadly, you'll need to wait until you can get a Dire Badger, as the regular badger doesn't leave a usable tunnel (it's in the description of the Burrow movement speed - Dire Badgers have a specific exception in their description). However, you can get a scroll of Speak with Animals (Druid-1) and a scroll of Summon Nature's Ally II to serve the same purpose a little earlier on. Three rounds for a tunnel five feet wide, up to sixty feet long (double move is permitted). If you burn a wand of both, you can get a fairly hefty chunk opened up that way. Nah, if you've got a solid stone cliff, you just shape the stone into spheres, and roll them out. Build your fortress so that everything slopes slightly towards the exit, and it's just a matter of cast & step aside. Plus spills will drain out later on. Create Water is a cantrip, and can really help with that. Especially if you shape things so that everything runs towards the entryway, as suggested for working with Shape Stone. Of course, you're better off picking up a Decanter of Endless Water for washing out the mud. That'd work. If you can arrange a decent Perform skill, a Lyre of Building is your friend. Out of combat, you can take ten, so you need a perform modifier of +8. If you can get a Beholder Dominated (or charmed, or Simulacrum'd, or Shapechanged) then the at-will Disintegrate makes digging go very, very fast. Not specifically, no. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
