Sorry to rez an old topic, but now I realised there's a pretty obvious solution to that problem of getting out: Simply vomit on the wall until it dissolves. New Attnam walls are really weak, and destroying them doesn't piss anyone off.
Good sir, you are wrong on all counts. First of all, vomit doesn't have any clear effect on the primitive balsa walls (certainly not the way it has an effect on metal walls, which makes me think there is none at all). Secondly, without boots of kicking I was unable to damage the primitive balsa even with a LStr of 74, and you made no mention of a pick-axe (which can easily destroy a balsa wall anyway). Finally, you probably only tested this theory on an empty house; trying it on Huang Ming Pong's house reveals it as a clear act of vandalism which causes everyone to go hostile. This would be less problematic ordinarily except in the case above, he was stuck next to Decos and Huang, which means unless he was a badass he'd probably have been cut to ribbons before he mined a hole in the wall (assuming he had a pick-axe or boots of kicking in the first place).
Also! For Comrade's benefit (since until I am told otherwise I will assume he doesn't ever bother looking at anything besides the newest post [stupid, but whatever]), I will inform him that this was tried and did not work. None of the NPCs were able to move as the situation was.
