Ok. so assuming that that is correct I will move on to my next question....
If I plan to use the elemental to dig holes and trenches. Is it fair to assume an Earth Elemental can dig a single 5'*5'*5' hole, with a 5'*5'*5' berm on one side as a single demanding action? Keep in mind the Elementals Burrow Speed is 20' Feet. So they clearly can dig faster than I am asking, but if I'm asking it to be careful, it seems that would require an interruptable action.
As for why, Acturis doesn't feel safe in the wild unless his camp is fortified. Harkens back to the comfort and safty of the legion's command section. Any how there have been too many midnight attacks of late. (Curse you mod writers as even the Inns aren't safe at night) So, I'm mostly trying to bench mark how much time it would take to fortify a marching camp in the Coryani style.
Sounds like the module writers now need to write in more midnight flash floods that only harm those camping in 5x5x5 holes with 5' berms around them to hold in the water...
Though that does make me wonder if an similarly summoned air elemental or something could be used to divert rain and keep you dry. Seems like something some kind of elemental should be able to do in a light or moderate rain, and it would be a really cool visual effect that keeps you comfortable, while at the same time screaming "harvest me now, ymandrakes!" Bou won't they be disappointed when they grab you and take you back only to find out its a silly rune on a wand. I bet they'll give you all kind of tentacles and stuff after that.
