[QUOTE="azmodean, post: 2185810, member: 26590"] I ran the numbers on moving earth once, (don't have the numbers anymore though :( ) and my conclusion was to summon Thoqqua to do the mining for you, if you want a long hallway, summon about 25 of them and tell them "go that way" They would eat through quite a lot of rock (at a hustle, something like 60' per round, each casting could do 1 rd/level). This gives you a series of 1' diameter holes if I remember correctly, with 25 holes adding up to the majority of the stone to be removed for a 5'x5' hallway. I would rule that smashing up the remaining lattice of stone would be pretty easy, which could then be either hauled off or eaten by a few more Thoqqua. Hmmm... IIRC the description in 3.0 said that they left tunnels through rock in their wake. The 3.5 SRD at least now says they [i]burrow[/i], which means that unless otherwise noted they don't leave a tunnel. Oh well. Up to your DM I guess. Oh, and it requires summon nature's ally III now instead of summon monster III, aaargh. [/QUOTE]
