Harassing an enemy held up in a fortified temple


Advice


So I'm looking for advice on some fun ways to harrass some enemies that are help up inside a fortified temple.

Right now I'm thinking of using a couple scrolls of earthquake to shake the place up. It won't actually do much damage as the place is built fairly tough, some I'm looking for better options.

Another option I was looking at was flooding the place a bit by using walls of stone to make an aquaduct to a nearby river and using reverse gravity to lift the water out of the river and onto the aqueduct.

I'm open to any fun ideas of how to harass those within.


All I can think of is this video of Konosuba starting at 1:15.

What level are you, and what sort of thing do you have access to?

Send nightmare spells after important figures inside the walls. (Hard to succeed against priestly saving throws, but you might get lucky and/or might be able to guess which enemies have low Will saves.)

Summon monster spells to send invisible buffed monsters flying in. (Wouldn't work against a properly warded temple, but maybe they skimped on the hallow spells?)

Also works with planar binding -- send in teleporting or ethereal creatures with orders to wreak havoc. Succubi hiding in the latrines and jumping up when enemies have their pants down, nightmares phasing in and out of the walls, demons sent to run riot in the barracks.

Control weather to bury the place in snow and/or other types of unreliable temperatures.

Control water might be a more direct route to flooding the temple than aqueduct-level stuff.


Currently we are level 11. The party has access to almost any scrolls via teleporting to a large city. Anything PFS legal is legal in my DM's campaign. Anything not PFS legal requires his buy off.

I particularly like the summon/calling idea you had in having these creatures wreck havoc.

Any other good ideas?


Catapults flinging tunnel creeper could be entertaining.


Spells:
Rock to Mud
Stone Shape
Summon X w/Earth Elementals
Cloudkill from a flyer
Stone to Flesh
Control Weather

Magic Items:
Lyre of Building to unbuild it
Horn of Blasting
Ring of the Ram

More complicated:
Create a moat around it
Wall of stone surrounding this
Raise Water on the moat

Hmm, I'm liking some of these ideas. I'm like the ideas that will keep them on their toes. The earth elementals most likely won't be too much danger to the residents but, they could certainly help cause some chaos, misplacing objects inside and such. Perhaps planar binding an invisible stalker or two and have them do similar things. Just to keep the occupants busy.

Nightmare could be nice, but the only casters they really have are divine. And divine casters don't need restful sleep for their spells. That's not to say I'm ruling it out. Especially with the new rules for how you can expand nightmare.
