[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6147747, member: 19675"] I was a bit vague, I admit. I didn't expect it to work unless using multiple Decanters. You could even speed up the process by using move earth or a mattock of the titans or some such to build a trench from the tributary to the field. But the point was rather that you implement the plan as your final plan, and tell him you're waiting until the field is submerged. Let [B]HIM[/B] be frustrated as you camp out, building your boat, waiting for the flood. Time pressure be damned. At some point, he [I]will[/I] blink and tell you something more about solving the problem of passage OR he will "cheat" and make the tactic not work by dispelling the water with the AMF (which it can't do). If he wants to blow up the campaign with insoluble problems, so be it. I have run into this kind of thing more than once. In a high-level D&D campaign with round-robin DMing, we encountered a barrier analogous to yours. We couldn't pass it. Finally, beaten & bruised, we gave up on the mission. He asked us why we didn't cast "Spell X", which would have easily gotten us past the obstacle. We pointed out that the only character in the entire campaign with that spell was [I]his[/I] solo-classed wizard. And not only because he didn't believe in allied wizards transcribing allies' spells into each others tomes- which he still doesn't do 20+ years later- but he was also the only PC Mage CAPABLE of casting that spell.
