[QUOTE="Arravis, post: 3300653, member: 327"] Ok, here is the situation: The game is set in a rocky, desert world much like Athas (Dark Sun), but scarce in magic or psionics. As in Athas, metal is extremely rare, and the technology level is around the early bronze age period (without the bronze :P). There are a few rare woods that are nearly as strong as metal (one such tree is available to the players). The group arrived at a neutrally aligned kobold community based at the bottom of a large canyon in the middle of the desert (one of the players is a kobold from this community). The canyon is a veritable paradise compared to the rest of the world. It is a ever green jungle with a river running through it. The water gushes out of a hole in the 100' tall walls at one end of the 35-mile long canyon and makes its way across the to the other end, where it dissapers back into the earth (underground river). The peaceful kobolds want to expand their isolated community above the canyon, and they and the PCs are trying to figure out some way to build an irrigation system on the surface. Other than bucketing water up, and having it in some sort of cistern there, we haven't come across any other good ideas on how to get the water up the 100' canyon walls. Lastly there is a 5th level wizard in the party, so if there is a 3rd level wizard spell (or lower) that might help, we may be able to use it. Anyway, any thoughts or ideas on this? Thanks guys!
