How to best relocate a yuan-ti temple is 5e

[Smaje]

Our intention tonight is to clear out a yuan-ti temple and move it to our town as a casino.

It would similar to an Aztec pyramid irl. So far my ideas are

- brick by brick
- reduce
- Planner ally
- wish
- earth elemental
- enslaving the yuan-ti
- true polymorph

We do have a small army. I’m not sure if we will have access to any high level spells though

Any specific reasons you want to do that? It'd be far easier to just build a similar building after you've leveled the temple to get material. Yuan-Ti temples aren't going to have the right architecture to hod a comfortable casino.

In any case, those:


- reduce
- Planner ally
- wish
- earth elemental
- true polymorph

won't work or are too costly/risky, and enslaving the Yuan-Ti just change who is doing the brick-by-brick transport, with waaaaaay more risks.

They raided our town and damaged our last casino. So it’s poetic/epic in our characters opinions.

How far are we talking?

Additionally a temple would make a great casino. It’s built like a maze to keep people in. There’s an awesome hall to watch performances and a high roller lounge on the top level

Far. Like if we aren’t using magic we will have to invent trains

I would say a temple would make a better bank, but I suppose it depends of the specific temple layout.

You're doing it wrong.

First, use bulettes to dig a huge hole beneath it, and fill it with water elementals. then open a gate to the elemental plane of water, and get the elementals to carry it through.

Then you dig ANOTHER hole where you want it, and open another gate.

THEN you cast a lot of spells that create stone and dirt to fill the hole back in again.

Then you profit.

Completely unnecessary. Just raze the whole thing to the ground, return to your town and build your own with cheap imitations.

Adds insult to injury, not to mention being a lot cheaper and easier.

But you have to get the yuan-ti to pay for it.
