As far as I know the Fane is outside of the city proper;<br/><br/><em>"Much of the Vault is filled with forests of lichens, crystalline growths, and fungi. Merchant estates are scattered south of the city, as are fortresses for the male and female orders of warriors. The city itself is built on the southern bank of the Pitchy Flow in the northern corner of the Vault. A single structure, the Flying Bridge, connects Erelhei-Cinlu with the other side of the Pitchy Flow. Across the river is a plateau containing the estates of the noble houses, and a tunnel leading to the Great Fane of Lolth. "</em><br/><br/>But its Zaer's call as DM exactly how far it actually is. But since it's and hour for the scrying spell, someone could always run out and get a scroll of shrink item or maybe a reduce  scroll...assuming you don't have them or something similar already. A portable hole would come in handy too.  :-)<br/><br/><strong><br/>Shrink Item</strong><br/>Transmutation<br/>Level: Sor/Wiz 3<br/>Components: V, S<br/>Casting Time: 1 standard action<br/>Range: Touch<br/>Target:    One touched object of up to 2 cu. ft./level<br/>Duration:    One day/level; see text<br/>Saving Throw:    Will negates (object)<br/>Spell Resistance:    Yes (object)<br/><br/>You are able to shrink one nonmagical item (if it is within the size limit) to 1/16 of its normal size in each dimension (to about 1/4,000 the original volume and mass). This change effectively reduces the object’s size by four categories. Optionally, you can also change its now shrunken composition to a clothlike one. Objects changed by a shrink item spell can be returned to normal composition and size merely by tossing them onto any solid surface or by a word of command from the original caster. Even a burning fire and its fuel can be shrunk by this spell. Restoring the shrunken object to its normal size and composition ends the spell.<br/><br/>Shrink item can be made permanent with a permanency spell, in which case the affected object can be shrunk and expanded an indefinite number of times, but only by the original caster.<br/><br/>TTYL<br/><br/>Ghostraven<br/><br/>
