[OOC] Return to the Rusty Rat

[Toot]

it is roughly 350 feet of movement to dig a spiral of 10' radius considering the thoqqua's diameter (1ft) and it needs to be repeated... how many times? guess less than the total depth. Still, it's waaay too much. Can toqquas run while digging? not in a spiral I'd say.
So maybe both the diameter and the depth should be halved, effectively making the total effort about 2000ft of digging which is still 50 full rounds....

I do not believe you can run while burrowing.  Though I guess they technically melt their way though the ground instead of burrowing but the description doesn't indicate that their is any difference between melting and burrowing. 

Toot will halve the diameter.  As for the depth, the creature is 15' plus 10' reach.  So we have to make sure the depth is at minimum 30'.  Toot doesn't know if it can jump or climb out of the hole (though I doubt it can since it would need instruction on what to do to get out of a hole) so Toot was playing it save.  But from what I've read about Golems, they are completely unable to handle surprise situations they haven't been prepared for by their creator.  And I doubt a hole opening up under their creature would be high on their lists of concerns.  Though who knows.  It's completely the DMs call about what the Golem has and has not been prepared for.  So Toot could lessen the depth to make sure the golem gets trapped and then wait to see if it can get out..  But the DM said someone can haste so if that person can figure out how it can be accomplished then that would help a lot.
