Smashing down gates

[Bladekill990]

Recently a griefer came to my friend's little pallisaded town. They stole his metal and metal goods, then they took his key and locked him inside.

Now, I'm trying to break him out and I'm wondering what I need to smash a pallisade gate. I have 20 Unarmed Combat and 63 Strength with bear cape + bear tooth amulet + full barbarianism. Can I smash the wall or do I need to build a battering ram?

You'll need a pickaxe too I think.

Palisade

Damage to items is calculated as (str/10) +1 for axe or +2 for pickaxe. Some items now have a soak value, notably brick walls have ten. That means that a character with a pick axe needs to have a strength of at least 80 in order to even dent a brick wall.

Soak Value of the Palisade is 30 now. (Brickwall = 80)
that means you need a battering ram and some strength!

1. damage of battering ram = 20 >>> remaining 10
2. now you need 100 strenght, only for breaking soak value... Boar Tusk Snuff
3. besides that the palisade has 2500 HP (Hitpoints) !!! Decay

The battering ram can be operated by four people simultaneously, and needs to dry for three in-game days (one real day) before it can be used. The battering ram gives a base of 20 points of damage to which the collected (STR/10) of all characters operating the ram is added.

If you have 4 available people, you can try a battering ram as well.

Just curious how did they obtain the key in the first place?

Probably was stored in the cupboard. Never a good idea.
