Cart of Gophers: Possible uses?
They're going into a desert wilderness. Surely a wheeled container of cute little furry rodents would have a thousand uses ...
Such as?

Re: Cart of Gophers: Possible uses?
Considering the sheer mass of gophers, and the fact that they're burrowing, I say that they could be used for make-shift tunnel drilling, and to some decent effect, too!
That always comes in handy, you know.

Problem with trail of breadcrumbs: Birds eat them. This was enough to leave Hansel and Gretel stranded.
Problem with trail of live rodentia: They get bored and leave, probably before you've gotten out of sight.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

Re: Cart of Gophers: Possible uses?
Don't forget the wagon of chinchillas. When the members of the Order are inspired by the desert scenery to get in touch with their artistic sides, all that fur is going to come in handy for paintbrushes.

Re: Cart of Gophers: Possible uses?
Train them to use knives and make a fortune out of gophers sparing matches?
Cast V's special animal sending spell on them to keep in touch with the azurites. I know from empirical evidence they can swim for... some time. I wonder if V's spell gives the animal unmatched stamina, because the birds she selected don't usually cross oceans. Tropical birds don't migrate.
Or they could always use Durkon's sending...
By gophers are more original
They could also use them for trap detection. I used to do that with Celestial Monkey summons. This made for an hilarious debate of alignment If you want to read the debate, click the spoiler tag I've placed here, because that parenthesis is way too long not to feel out of place otherwise.
SpoilerDM : You are of good alignment, you shouldn't be using them as guinea pigs.
Me : But our rogue totally ****s at finding traps. Beside they just get back to their plane of existence like 4 rounds sooner, what's the big trouble?
DM : Your making them suffer.
Me : In combat I use them as diversions to let us time to flee! Their are MONKEYS, do you truly expect them to help in any other way?
DM : No actually, but can't you use a spell like detect traps or something? It would be more in character.
Me : My character is chaotic good AND a sorcerer. Meaning, I do things in more original ways and I have such a limited selection of spells I must select those that are more versatile. Detect trap can't be used as a meat shield.
DM : so your making innocent creatures feel extreme to build an artistic licence out of your way of using spells AND because of an totally unfair and dis-balanced class design flaw?
Me : Sort off yeah.
DM : Man, I feel your pain, but your still nudging toward neutral alignment everytime you send your monkeys to certain death.
Me : Certain death? It wouldn't be certain if you weren't placing a trap on EVERY door, treasure chest AND wardrobe.
DM : I've only started to place that many traps when you guys went out on that looting spree to steal 'adventuring assets' in every house in town!
Rogue player : My rogue may have poor disable trap skills, but he's the King of locking piking and move silently and the next level, he'll be the King of trap deactivation too!
DM : curse your 14 skills points per level... I'm going to have to pick traps from the epic tab.
Me : Hence the monkeys
DM : Do you know how many explosive poison darts can fit in a door knob?
Me : I did say MonkeyS
DM : Infinite, their are summoned out of magic.
Barbarian player : Guess I'll have to bash the door out then and let the darts hit the back wall.
DM : There's an EPIC radius of explosion of those darts.
Me : I'll train the monkeys to catch and eat them, since they pop out the moment their are death, the explosion should warp with them back to the celestial realms.
Rogue player : Sounds like a risky bet, do we have contingency?
Me : The Monkey's entrails will dampen enough of the explosion's velocity to keep it out of range, we could also dig a giant hole facing the door
Rogue Player : Yeah that might be better.
Random Half crazy player : Fireworks!
DM : I hate you all, but feel free to try.Life is meanless if you don't play games.
My favorite line in all OotS :
"Dude, don't taunt the god-killing abomination."

Re: Cart of Gophers: Possible uses?
A number of spells (eg Sleep, Circle of Death) affect a limited number of Hit Dice, and start with the weakest creatures present. Possessing a Cart of Gophers would render the Order immune to these spells until the gophers were killed.
Nothing to see here, citizen...

Two words: Moral Support.
: It's not so bad out here in the desert, as long as I've got my little Gopher friends to keep me company!
: So...what are we going to do with the Chinchillas?
: Well, Mr. Scruffy needs rations too...
:Indeed. And it will be a long time before Blackwing will have any other creature to feed upon.
: Black who?
