[QUOTE="Strutinan, post: 806099, member: 9267"] You have access to so many clerics? The tower is shielded from magical detection? It is populated by clerics and wizards? AND its stayed hidden for HUNDREDS of years?!?! OK, the answer seems obvious. Problem: you can't find the place. Given it's size and reasources it is a totally self-contained (or heavilly teleport-using) location, so looking for evidence of it's preasence is pointless at best, and a death-trap at worst ("hey bob, lets TP all our waste to this one spot we can fill with area-effect mass destruction spells, and cast a permanent Invisibility spell on a huge rock in the middle. THen idiots will scry the garbage, see the invisible 'tower' and die en masse.". Solution? Don't scry for the tower. Scry for the ABSENCE OF TERRAIN! Carpet-scry the area until you hit a spot that you CANNOT scry. By dint of fact that it is impenetrable to divination, it gives itself away (and avoids nasty death-traps like above). [/QUOTE]
