Buried alive - Need Help

Plan 4: Walk-Out. Force Dome has a base cost of 3 and a 10 minute duration. The wizard can cast a radius 4 Force Dome for 11 FP, which covers 7 hexes and prevents the monsters from entering it. He recovers 9 FP before the duration expires, and the cleric recovers 2 FP (or more) in the same time period. Force Domes can be cast inside of each other, so everyone can just crowd up against the walls while the wizard casts another.

They only cover 5 yards every 10 minutes this way, but they can see where they're going and only casting 6 spells an hour. It takes a day and half to cover the 500 yards, but they only cast 100 spells and the chance of disastrous critical failure is under 5%. And even if the wizard does forget how to cast Force Dome, you can always fall back to tunneling with plan 3b.
