I think a cool thing to do with that would be to have some kind of burrowing/digging/mining race invade through the walls.
They keep coming in and the players have to keep fighting them off (as in, they keep coming through the hole) until they patch up the wall, which they do by taking a standard action near the wall like five times or something. Naturally, the invading forces would do everything in their power to make sure that doesn't happen. It would play off the "defending the same area" thing, while taking the players a little out of their comfort zone by changing the usual direction of attack.
Of course I've never played a tabletop game so I probably just look like a big dumb guy right now.

Seriously, bulette. Or bulettes, I guess, but they're kinda a bitch on their own as is. Although they'll need a couple levels before they can take one.
There's also the magnificent option of just having a bulette chilling in the area while marauding adventuring parties are coming on through, and having it attacking everyone in the area, as well as wrecking anything vaguely stone.

Also, they're vargouilles. Vampire heads with wings for ears.
fuck I hate these things. Too many unpleasant memories from Planescape Torment.

This is cool in a way
But I like making new characters
A lot
That's why I tend to play in online games a lot too, even if they're doomed to fail, because I have just as much fun coming up with super rad characters as I do with actually playing a character consistently. My marker in my current game of D&D for the initiative board is just Greg 8.0 because they haven't even been learning the names of my characters half the time.
Not that I have a deathwish or anything, it's just a series of unfortunate circumstances. Also generally if I'm joining an existing party I play nicer and more virtuous characters, who also tend to be pretty willing to, well, martyr it up.
Grell and Tsochari are pretty damn rad monsters. I really loved Lords of Madness, it was such a good book. Libris Mortis wasn't half bad either, I should pick both of them up from my parent's house next time I visit.

Okay, so it turns out there's actually a magic caret in the Player's Handbook. However, it is 11 levels higher than the Ebony Fly from Adventurer's Vault, and yet it is inferior in every way.

Maybe
But that's a ways off. I may just end up custom building a bioforged race off of the warforged with distinct insect resemblances
i'm sorry! it was a moment of weakness

Are you trying to make me high five you with this post or not?

Straightzi, you have been added to the list. The list of people I will party with at some point in the near future.

Or marauding duergar, or maybe a powerful Gnome Wizard who is channeling the spell that keeps the hole open, so you have to interrupt his spell.
you could really go a lot of directions with it

My best characters are the ones I spend a lot of time developing. Plus, immortality is a concept that fascinates me.

I think it put in an appearance in the Adventurers Vault, but was kinda mundane. Check with the Compendium, I guess.
Personally I'd love to be immortal
And for some of my characters, it is a desirable thing
For a good deal of them though, nah, not so much. I've had characters refuse resurrection even.
