It fell and it went from being a dungeon crawl to a huge field battle with the creatures that survived the fall and later an archaelological dig through the ruins for treasure.Unfortunately, neither the players nor the DM saw that little line in the spell description that said that it works only against natural, unworked stone, so you can't use it to demolish towers and castles with one spell.  Ah well, he got us back for it the next week by making the wreckage of the liches lab mix with some of the corpses and create this horrible Lovecraftian tentacled monstrosity that rose from the debris to hunt us down after we'd pillaged the ruins and left.</blockquote>
