Nice use of a utility spell.

Spoiler: Overanalyzing things again (click to show/hide)

 However, I'm not sure Durkon should have been able to make a wall ramp that large with just one casting, given that he's down a few levels from being raised twice. I think someone somewhere mentioned he lost his 7th-level spells, which would put him at most 12th-level. Wall of Stone creates a 1in-thick structure of one 5ft square per level, or in Durkon's case, 12*5 = 60sqft. You can double that by reducing the thickness by half, but if it's used as a ramp or bridge, and the ramp is more than 20ft across, you need to add reinforcements which halve the wall's area(which did happen here).

Using the dwarves themselves as a reference of length(their SRD Monster entry puts them at 4-feet tall on average), the ramp appears to be 5-ft wide(they are running up single-file with a little room to spare), and I estimate about 20 dwarves long, or 20*4 = 80ft. Unless Durkon is actually 14th-level(I don't know what level he was when he died, so he could be), and halved the thickness(it doesn't look it, but that might be an art limitation), he shouldn't be able to create a ramp that long with one spell.

Oh look, Roy got eaten by a monster again.

As an answer to your overanalysis:

Spoiler: The math (click to show/hide)

Stonewall creates a 5ft * 5ft * 1in (25/12 ft^3) of stone per level. Ramps and bridges longer than 20 ft have to be at least 2in thick.

The ramp's width is 5ft and it's length is 80ft.
Assuming Durkon made tha ramp as thin as he could (2in), the ramp's volume is 5ft * 80ft * 2in (400/6 ft^3).
Thus we can calculate the required level to create the ramp with a single spell as Ramp_Volume/Volume_per_Level.
This gives us (400/6 (ft^3)/lv)/(25/12 ft^3)
                  (800/12 lv)/(25/12)
                  (800 lv)/25
                   32 lv

Durkon needs to be at least level 32 to create the ramp with a single spell.

Durkon's player said "I'm going to make a ramp up to one of the windows using Wall of Stone." Someone else got out a calculator. The GM quickly said "okay you make it."

Funny enough, I've played with more them one DM that would do that just to spite the rules lawyer.
(As in, somebody who'd break out a calculator just to doublecheck/veto other players actions)

Then the rule purist Belkar player says 'fuck this me and scruffy push Roy out of the way and jump down the worm's throat while I decapitate myself', takes the doritos he brought for everyone, flips the table and storms out of the room while flipping the double bird.

Doing stuff to spite the rules lawyers is tight!

... hey, wait a second. I'm the rules lawyer!

I get the name reference, but I still don't really see how that works into the 'getting vamped' part, but okay.

Like Shonus said, White Wolf is strongly associated with their Vampire game. It's a bit like if Belkar said he got "Bram Stoker'd" or something.

It probably makes more sense to those more familiar with White Wolf.

Or even passing familiar. Vampire: The Masquerade was their only real hit product, so it's the one people know. Lot's of gothy types want to play emo vampires. Quite a lot less people want to play werewolves.

I liter'lly cannae think o' anythin' less fair than, "Someone kills ye an' gives yer stuff ta someone else!"

...Dwarves are weird.

...Maybe we shouldn't show him the upper boards here.

That giant man-eating death-worm is weirdly adorable.

New one up. The part in your rant where you destroy your own speech by being overly specific.

I like Minra. I'm glad she didn't die.

I mean -- didn't stay dead.
