Although he could pray to Elmal, roll for Divine Intervention, succeed, get the rock, and then cement it between sessions at related cost, couldn't he? I think that if there is some sort of contest (and there could be one for the meeting with the warrior to be peaceful) then it's always 'related'. (skill checks anyone?)
OTOH one could say that it also has to be related to the story, rather than just the session. This would be a way to keep the players moving along (though not necessarily along the path the narrator had intended).
