Today: Josep Gavinho rolled 37 using 1d20+20 with rolls of 17.  Initiative duel 227.

I have done a good glance over few things I have to dig into but should be good to go once get a few things sorted out.

Let's get this party started then.

PM Latro

In reply to Boadicea (msg # 8):

I think this should fix the issue

All is good to start

Josep appears in the eighth section of the arena opposite and out of sight of Latro. He's wearing the champion's belt, and has a neat shiny buckler strapped to his arm.

 Instead of his trademark dodo, he is accompanied by a small grey humanoid creature by the name of Pedro. Who looks hella cute.

  Now a classic start to any arcane user, Josep produces a scroll and bends time to his will. The rest is a blur to everyone.

 As things slow down, the public can enjoy the sight of Josep turned into a hellish dragon, his companion turned into an other type of equally troubled dragon, and a retinue of devilish fallen angels preceding them, weapons at the ready. They all move with uncanny celerity.

  "Latro! I see your transformation is now complete... glad to see that you're now in a body with which you're finally comfortable..."

 "Let's make this quick, shall we?"

13:39, Today: Josep Gavinho rolled 29 using 1d20+19 with rolls of 10.  Spell Resistance (Haste)

SUMMARY:
 Josep stops Time. He summons 5 devils, polymorphs his familiar and then himself, as well as casts a bunch of other spells.


ooc: all set, let's go.

Latro smiles, knowing full well what Josep's first action in the arena would be. He had been waiting. Studying the chaotically shifting rules of the arena. Josep had missed something and it was all too sweet to behold.

As Josep pulls his scroll from his pocket and reads it aloud, the arcane words swirl with might around him. However, the time pocket he creates for himself cracks and breaks under the power of the arena, leaving josep standing in real time with no chance to continue his display of arcana might. Even the jumbo-tron malfunctions under the power of the arena's rule.


You've activated my trap card: The Rule's Lawyer
Per the rules on magic for the arena you are unable to cast time stop at your current level. You must have a number of HD equal to twice the level of the spell you're attempting to use. As your HD is 17, the only spells you are capable of casting are lvl 8 spells and below.
My request is that the scroll fizzles when Josep tries to use it, ending his turn.

That is evidently an oversight in the writing of that rule, at level 17 Josep can cast level 9 spells on a daily basis.
I agree with the spirit if that rule, but it should obviously say half your HD rounded up — at least for cleric/druid/wizard.

Boa, what do you think?

EDIT: I just read the rule again, RAW it means a 1st level cleric can’t cast cure light wounds, or a 1st level wizard magic missile. Clearly the rule as intended is that you can’t cast anything of a higher level than what your spell caster level normally allows.

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 13):

Barring GM putting his thoughts in unfortunately Latro is right. I agree with you that it handicaps your class 1 or 2 spells here or there but with the inclusion of class feature I feel GM knew what the rule would do.  Everyone starts at 5th lvl or so, so the argument of 1st lvl is invalid.

Josep please throw up a post with the spell fizzle.  All actions after scroll fails of you (HP if you choose) and your minions can be changed

GM Arkrim, can you please weigh in here?
Was it actually the intention of that new rule that full spellcasters (cleric/druid/witch/wizard) cannot cast the higher level spells they normally have access to? It seems to me that the rule is aimed at keeping 12th level wizards from using 9th level spells (through a scroll or whatever).

Boa, I’ll get on to that just in case. When is my 48h running out?

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 16):

48 hrs will be counted from Latro's post.

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 16):

Boa's interpretation is correct. However, calling in a GM ruling does pause the 48 hour rule. However, now I've given my ruling. Clock starts again now.
This message was last edited by the GM at 11:16, Mon 04 June 2018.

That is such a weird rule... I cannot cast the highest level of spells I have access to, not through some fancy combinations of class features/feats/traits, but simply as a level 17 core spellcaster. I’m a bit baffled.

But I shan’t argue any more, I’ll try and have a new post up tonight.

just realised I may be in more trouble than I thought... and here I was ready to go all polymorphed on your arse.

Josep appears in the eighth section of the arena opposite and out of sight of Latro. He's wearing the champion's belt, and has a neat shiny buckler strapped to his arm.

ooc: all set, let's do this...

Count yourself lucky this isn't for the Championship then. ;P

Quick question for you though, how much HP does that familiar of yours have? I don't see it listed.

Latro enters the arena with his handmaiden, Tiaca, by his side once more. She is still the shivering husk of a tengu she always was but she is still prepared to serve her master to escape his wrath.

"You know me, guild master" Latro responds. "I am always changing. This form may yet be temporary in my grand plans. But for now, it will suffice."

Tapping the heals of his boots together, Latro moves swiftly across the arena and pulls a scroll from his pocket. When he comes to a stop, he shouts at it in undercomon, commanding its power out of the scroll though the scroll produces no apparent effect.

"Stay close to me, Tiaca" Latro commands. "Though we have the upper hand currently, our foe is not to be underestimated."

"Yes, my lord." Tiaca says, scurrying up to Latro's side, pulling a scroll from her coat as she does. "Shall i make trouble for him, my lord?"

"With all due haste." Latro says smiling.

Reciting the words in the scroll, Tiaca summons a wall of fire on Josep's end of the arena. Josep and Pedro can feel the heat emanating from it. "That will at least slow him down, my lord."

"Very good," Latro responds. "Let us see how Josep responds now that he's the one cornered."

Ave, Tiaca’s Familiar, makes sure to stay close to his master and his master’s master.

 - Other: Scroll #4 1/1

please roll damage for wall of fire vs Josep, for approaching first and then going through

  Josep seems non-plussed by the flames. He walks towards the wall, and then through it, burnt but somehow enjoying it.

  "Was that supposed to slow me?" he smirks as he emerges on the other side, putting out flames on his cloak.

 Josep casts two spells in quick succession, and hurls a series of force spheres at Latro, a trick he calls the thousands fists of Pegasus.

 He then turns into a big golden dragon.

SUMMARY:
 Josep walks through the flame and hurls a handful of spheres of pure force at Latro, who takes 376 force damage.
 He then adopts the shape of a big golden dragon.
 Pedro follows, avoiding the flames by going underground.

Sorry, I just realised I need to make a bulk rush attempt against Latro after the first strike, and I cannot miss it.
So Latro is pushed back against the arena wall.

Permission to redirect the second spell against Latro’s cohort, since he’s then out of range and no longer a valid target ?

Correction :

Latro takes 164 damage and is bull rushed to G1, and prone (reflex DC23 negates the latter)

If allowed to redirect the second spell:
Tiaca takes 212 damage and is bull rushed to H1, and prone (reflex DC23 negates the latter)

DICE ROLLS:
 Yesterday: Josep Gavinho rolled 53 using 1d20+44 with rolls of 9.  Battering blast bull rush vs Tiaca (+60, capped to +44).
 Yesterday: Josep Gavinho rolled 62 using 1d20+44 with rolls of 18.  Bantering Blast bull rush vs Latro (+50, capped to +44)

Combat post is posted no new info has been given that was not known when you put the post together so second spell if unable to hit target is lost

So, firstly, the fire damage of which only the pass through damage was rolled because the flare damage only happens when it's summoned and on my turn.

06:30, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 18 using 2d6+11 with rolls of 2,5.  Wall of Fire damage vs Josep Passing through.
Josep does get a reflex for half because spells with no saves are disallowed. DC16 reflex for half.

Assuming Josep takes damage from it, he may need to make concentration checks equal to 15 + 1/4 of the damage dealt + spell level to cast those spells. I'm viewing the wall of fire as a continuous damage source in this instance because josep has voluntarily ended his turn in the wall of fire thus giving the wall of fire another chance to do more damage. But i'll leave that up to Ref discretion.

Finally, after all that is said and done, i have a little surprise for Josep but i'll wait to reveal it after this bit is taken care of.

14:19, Today: Josep Gavinho rolled 35 using 1d20+20 with rolls of 15.  Reflex vs fire wall.

So 9 damage from fire wall.

No concentration needed as Josep cast his spell whilst standing next to but not in the wall.

Hp 280/289

If that is indeed the case, then it's time for my surprise! I'm certain you'll love it. >:)

Boadicea, i'll need your help for this.

In reply to Latro Dectus (msg # 30):

In reply to Boadicea (msg # 31):

Thank you Latro.

Josep after your first cast of Battering Blast the force balls loose all power and disappear harmlessly 5ft from Latro. (With this new knowledge you may change your HP and your Swift action if you so choose)

Darn. That grave knight is full of tricks.
Can I confirm that this happens even with Latro still flat footed and unable to take immediate actions until his first turn in initiative ?

Indeed. no actions were taken during round 1 on Latro's or Tiaca's (or her familiar's) part to cause your spell to disperse. Immediate or otherwise.

Did you enjoy your surprise, Josep. I made it just for you. >:)

It has been brought to my attention by a fellow guild member that it may look like I forgot to account for your SR.
I used my prescience roll on the SR check, which I thought was clear from my post.
I hope that’s not what created the confusion.

I’m working on my post update.

 Josep casts a mystery spell.
 Pedro follows, avoiding the flames by going underground.

Oh, Josep.
Don't tell me you forgot about what happened the last time to tried to summon a creature that was two alignment steps away from you. Unless you have a special feat or something that allows you to do that, those Furies don't even show up.

Also, are we still using the skill DC thing? I have my spellcraft check listed if we are so if you wouldn't mind rolling against it to see if Latro knows what spell you just cast, that would be swell. Otherwise, i'll just roll some spellcraft on my turn to know what you cast.

The spell is a classic now, you probably recognise it with the first two chords ;) Wall of Force.

The Furies are Lawful, as has Josep been for a little while now.

So why is your guild still listed as true neutral?

I wouldn’t know about that.
It should be Lawful Neutral as well.

Well, i'll ask for Bo about conformation on that alignment.

In the meantime, i'll get my post prepped and ready. 83 damage.

isn't really too much to concern me just yet.

also, i kinda figured it was wall of force. but it always pays to check for certain. ;P

(sorry for the double OOC post, my cat laid on my hand and made me click post message before i was done.)

Seriously, you take fire damage?
Darn I should have kept my fireballs...

In reply to Latro Dectus (msg # 44):

His sheet does indeed have him as LN, your alignment is not something you must contact GM for but as a Guild master that does create a wrinkle at least you are still within one step.

Latro ended up with a number of arrows through his armor but he shows no signs of pain and simply shrugs off the fire damage as nothing but a minor annoyance. Ripping out the arrows and throwing them aside, Latro marches downwards, empowered by the speed his boots grant him. Drawing his weapon he moves towards the furies, who all vanish into the Aether at his mere proximity. He continues marching, dragging his Falcata on the ground. Josep’s wall of force, if it lais in the Grave Kight's path, shatters when Latro draws near enough to it. He continues his march towards towards the wizard, completely ignoring his familiar until he comes to a stop.

“Was that supposed to slow me down, Josep?” Latro says, locking eyes with the wizard. The anti-paladin’s auras weighed heavily on the Wizard and his Familiar. With mythic speed, the Anti-Paladin grips his weapon with both hands and brings it to bear against his foe. His attack strikes true, bypassing any form of damage reduction Josep may have on. Empowering his strike as it cuts, Latro channels his vile Touch of Corruption through the blade, aiming to stun the wizard. Alas, whatever magics Josep has going prove to be far too powerful for even Latro’s touch to overcome.

Tiaca moved next, not bothering to maintain her concentration on the wall of fire. Moving just around the corner, her fingers crackle with lighting from them shoots a beam of pure electricity. It plows over pore pedro, but Josep is too slippery for the lighting and manages to get by with minor damage.

SUMMARY: Latro takes a bunch of archer damage from the furries but comply ignores their fire damage. He moves in a very planned path towards Josep. Pedro falls victim to both Latro’s Aura of Despair and Cowardice. Latro expends mythic power to make a swift attack on Josep.  Josep takes a total of 44 damage from Latro’s Mage Strike.
Tiaca brings the thunder and send a bolt of lighting streaming downwards, overtaking both Pedro and Josep. Pedro fails his save and takes the full 37 lighting damage. Josep is to quick and only takes 18 lighting damage.
Ave stays by her master, doing pretty much nothing.

Both Josep and Pedro get AoOs against Latro for moving through their threatened squares.

OOC: There’s something i have to check with Boadecia on before you take you next turn. Otherwise, unless your AoOs royally f- me over, that’s the end of my turn.


</tt>

Unless you have a trick to work around it, Latro hits a wall in J10.

Tiaca’s Lightning Bolt likewise hits a section of the wall, which takes some damage.

as it just so happens, i do have a trick. A very crafty one indeed.

Boa, can you confirm that this is actually how that works?
It seems too good to be true.

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 51):

Apologies for taking so long had some things to track down and look up.  It may seem that way because it is and only because Latro messed up a little math which I will PM him.  Also Tiaca's wall of fire failed due to forgetting to roll UMD check.  Myself and I assume Josep missed that on your first post but trying to track down what type of magic cast it I found it so Josep will get those HPs back.

It looks like Latro is using some form of Antimagi Field, and if that’s the case, the magical effects should be suppressed only within that field, not permanently dispelled wherever he walked through, especially without offering a save. Even in the bizarre errata pertaining to Antimagic Field (which now cancels high level magical effects, but would leave a prestidigitation or silent image unharmed, go figure...)
Also it seems odd that Latro’s effects and items would not be affected.

But he said it was very crafty, so I’ll trust that Boadicea went through this and it’s all orthodox.

I’ll get my post ready.

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 53):

Hold on Josep I may have been un clear Latro's post is not correct and he needs to redo it he did not totally reduce the WoF to nothing due to the no spell resistance part of the rule.  I agree it's odd high end spell is totally destroyed low spells remain

Latro you are currently face planted to WoF at 10
This message was last edited by the player at 11:52, Sun 10 June 2018.

 Just to be clear, I hope we're reading this the same way — things that are "dispelled" come back once the antimagic field moves away, right?

That would be the spell description however the rules change to the spell ends the spell.

 

quote:

If this causes an effect's duration to drop below or equal to the time it's already expended or the caster level to drop below the minimum level needed to cast it, the effect immediately ends (or fizzles if it's instantaneous).

If I am reading this wrong please correct me GM, but it sounds pretty clear to me.
 

 Note it doesn't say the spell ends, but the effect ends.
 I would have hoped the effect resumes once the antimagic field is removed.
 Once again, I'll yield to the higher authorities...

 That errata made antimagic field so much more broken than it already was.

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 57):

If his intentions where for it not to end the spell why not say suppressed like the wording in the spell. I could be wrong and be miss interpreting the rule. I agree it makes it more powerful in some ways but leaves space to allow a caster such as yourself to be dangerous even within the field

So, what’s the 48h situation here?

Are you saying I’m good to take my turn then?
I thought we were waiting for Latro.

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 61):

Latro's turn finish if he would like to finish his actions otherwise he is just standing in J10

I’m not crystal clear on what that means but I’ll start my turn then.

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 63):

I understand GM's frustration sometimes, my first post about this was not crystal clear but the rest have.  Latro miscalculated his effect on Wall of Force.  He has less than 24 hours to repost his actions after moving into J10.

Sorry I thought that was my 48h clock ticking. All good then. I’ll wait.

That is 48 hrs, Latro is standing in J10, total defense as his standard action.
 Tiaca's spell will hit the Force wall which is only at a CL 12 strength at the moment

Hold on i need to dispute the ref a second.

about the wall:
Yeah, looks like i messed up a bit there. However,
Considering the wall of force has its caster level reduced appropriately, would the length of the wall not also be reduced? Possibly even enough to allow latro through? IDK how long or tall this wall is so thats an important question right now. If i had the choice it would be to reduce its length on latro's side so that maybe latro would be able to get through.

about tiaca:
The wall of fire should not fail and Tiaca should not need a UMD check to cast it. Explanation in a private line below.
Tiaca's lighting bolt was highly dependent on Latro removing the wall of force. If he ended up face planting, then Tiaca just wouldn't have cast that spell.

On 48 hours:
I'll accept my 48 hour hit, but having Tiaca and her familiar take Full defense is what should be done seeing as my entier turn was reset back to Latro's move action and tiaca's actions only happen after latro takes his.
I will say however that the new God of War game is to blame for my absence and it is by far the best God of War to date.

The wall was under dimensioned for its caster level (thank the gods).
In any case, only the portion of wall that is within the anti magic field would be reduced.
And that portion is much smaller than what a CL12 wall of force can be.

Latro is correct I missed the Wall of Fire when I glanced at Adept's spell list so Tiaca's wall is good.

In reply to Boadicn ea (msg # 69):
All good then, shall I carry on ?

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 70):

Yes, you are good to continue

Pm

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 72):

your summons are ended as the CL dropped below the actual needed to cast the spell (summon monster gives no SR so at 1/2 CL drop still below CL needed) or by the reading of the Antimagic Field summons entering get no save if the spell is cast and a summons is within AoE then it gets a save.

But they didn’t enter. We went through that with the brandersnatch.
If the field is brought to them, their SR applies.

Again, I wont press the issue, but I thought the rules as written were quite clear.

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 74):



I don't know whats not clear, it even states once the field goes away.  I only remember Jayce trying to summon a creature into field not any summon creature move into it.

I was referring to this part:


 I think this should apply if the caster of the antimagic field moves the field into an area occupied by a summoned creature with SR. I don’t think it matters whether you cast I straight on their face, or cast it first and then move to them.

 But you think it shouldn’t. Fair enough, you’re the ref.

  Josep casually answers Latro's rhetorical question:
  "Why yes, evidently..." he smirks like never before, and gets on with his casting.

 First he moves and casts a summoning spell again.
 Then he conjures black tentacles to fill the other side of the wall.
 He tells the Erinyes to shoot Latro.

 They do, but his armour is thick... he still takes a few arrows to the knees.

 Pedro catches up.

  "This is not going to be quick..."

The spell he is using is not Antimagic Field just acts similar to, also unless you have something to back up your assumption 6&7 are not in your LoE there is a wall between you

Can’t I draw a line from the bottom left corner of my square to the bottom left corner of these squares ?
The squares have cover, but they’re not untargetable.

I think I didn’t realise that they edge of the wall blocks line of effect.
And the description says I need line of efffect to each square.

Can I change the summoning squares to M3 & M4 and have them 5ft step into current position ?

Doesn’t make a difference to anything in my turn.

Sorry no your turn has been posted no new information has been brought forth due to an oversight/error by your opponent that would effect them

Fair enough. Does that mean only 1 Erinyes appears, or that the whole spell fizzles?

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 85):

The one still appears

Well then, that’s only 9 damage to Latro instead of the 30.

Remind me how josep has line of effect through a wall of force in the first place when wall of force blocks line of effect.

In reply to Latro Dectus (msg # 88):

He does have Line of Effect to JE5 and Black Tentacles

I used a slice of Swiss cheese as a material component to craft the wall ;)

(That’s a joke btw, there’s more to it than a slice of Swiss)

Line of Sight isn't Line of Effect.
Does Josep have something that allows him to bypass the Wall of Force's Line of Effect?
If it's a piece of gear or a class ability, that's fine I won't ask any more questions cause thats secret information, but otherwise, I need an explanation.

In reply to Latro Dectus (msg # 91):

Latro may spend actions determining a definitive answer, but for right now you must trust me that he does.

Very well. In that case, can I get some stats on that wall of force?

How much damage has it taken and where and what is its current caster level due to my Anti-magic field like effect?

Also, remember that if the tentacles can effect Latro, they have taken a caster level reduction as well. In fact, for all intents and purposes, lets just say that if any kind of arcane effect comes within 5 feet of Latro, reduce it's caster level by 11, or 5 if not subject to SR. I hope that caster level reduction was factored into It's grapple checks against Tiaca and Ave. (Not that it would actually change much for them.)

Also, Latro will actually take no damage from the summon's attack because his AC increases by 6 when he takes a full defensive action as oppressed to the usual increase of 4.

It wasn’t factored in against Tiaca and Ave. Should it have been? If so why? Do they also have a AMF?

The Wall of Force is 17th level, with hardness 30 and 340hp.
The section of the wall that is within 5ft of Latro has hardness 30 and 240hp.

I don’t know whether Tiana cast her lighting bolt or not.
Her lighting bolt would have dealt 37 electric damage, halved because it’s an ernergy attack, so 18, minus 30 from hardness so 0.

I’m not happy about your AC but c’est la vie.

Is it a different casting of Black Tentacles than the one that is effecting latro. If not, then i believe the entire spell would have its CL reduced. Not just the part latro is in. The same applies to the wall.

Anti magic field only calls out instances of creatures larger that an anti magic field and not spells that are larger than an anti magic field.

I would give you my trademark “Evidently, that’s not how it works” but then I’ve been proven wrong so many times that I don’t know what is evident and what isn’t.
So I’ll turn to Boa. Does Latro mystery spell affects things beyond its area of effect?

Well, let me ask you this, if, for some reason, you wanted to dispel a wall of fire but only the very tip of the wall was in your range, would only the tip of that wall get dispelled or would the whole wall?

if a giant creature tries to punch me with their giant fist and its fist enters my aura of despair, does only it's fist suffer from my aura or does the whole creature? (Answer: it's the whole creature. We established that in the 4 way championship)

In reply to Latro Dectus (msg # 97):

Actually GM clarified that only the part of the spell around you is effected by your Aura and Antimagic Field are different.


Also you may need to read Wall of Force spell again, your dispell example is a bad one hopefully a reread of the spell should allow you to see why.

In reply to Boadicea (msg # 98):

Well, I used a Wall of Fire as my dispel example, not a wall of force, but whatever.

But can you point me to where GM spelled out that part about antimagic. I'd like to read that and store it in my brain for future referance. I find it curious that part of a spell can expire and leave the rest completely intact when its all the same spell.

In reply to Latro Dectus (msg # 99):

ugh, that's what I get for posting before coffee, I read your post put I didn't "read" and seriously though it said force.

quote:

3) POLYMORPH vs. ANTIMAGIC
A polymorphed creature of large size or larger partially entering the antimagic field would be affected the same way a summoned creature would. That part of them would revert back to normal and vs. all things within or through the antimagic field they'd lose their polymorph benefits/drawbacks but on the other side of the field keep them. So if you turned into a stone giant and punched someone in an antimagic field your fist would be normal damage without the polymorph or magic. If your size was changed by the magic it's likely that part of you would just wink out of existence for the duration.

This about polymorph bout the concept is the same, whole spell or just portion in field.

Well, It seems this was written at a time when Antimagic still completely nullified all magic in the arena instead of reducing it's caster level.

However, after doing some thorough reading and pulling myself away from God of War long enough to retain some information, i've come to the conclusion that you guy are in fact right.

It still leaves me with the question of what happens when something that exists both inside and outside the antimagic field has it's duration expire. Does only that part of the spell end? Does it take the rest of the spell with it? Seriously, what happens to the dude who polymorped into a dragon and stuck his head inside an anti magic field? Is his head now that of his original self while his body is still that of a dragon?


Anyways, It's gonna be tomorrow before i can get a post up.

Great, now the wizard could peer through the endless possibilities of space and time to a point where Latro had gotten to say what he wanted to say and respond in kind to that. Damnable arcane wretches.

Latro give up on the Wall for the moment and instead moves to protect his retainer. An unusual strategy for one so selfish but Latro knew he would need every possible advantage he could muster to achieve victory.

Actively working against his own magics, Latro attempts to cast a spell, but the words don't seem to come out right. Apparently his own field meant to suppress josep’s magic was also suppressing his. Never the less, Latro dug deep into his mythic power and surged. Out from the ground formed a wall of writhing bones that stretched upwards next to Josep’s wall of force and wrapping around Latro to hinder Josep’s summon. The wall attempts to grapple the fallen angel in it’s bony grasp.

Ave tries to escape the black tentacles now that Latro was nearby, but Tiaca seems defeated, recalling how horribly things went the last time she was caught up in these things.

Latro didn’t seem to care. He did not expect to win this fight but he was going to make sure Josep used every trick in his book to win. Latro was nothing if not resilient.

DICE ROLLS:

11:29, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 34 using 1d20+16 with rolls of 18.  Aura of Despair vs Will DC18 Erinyes.
11:30, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 30 using 1d20+16 with rolls of 14.  Aura of Cowardice vs Will save 16 Erinyes.

10:42, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 24 using 1d20+22 with rolls of 2.  Concentration DC28.
10:44, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 5 using 1d6 with rolls of 5.  mythic surge to concentration check.
Concentration roll becomes 29 and passes concentration DC of 28
11:33, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 31 using 1d20+12 with rolls of 19.  Wall of Bone grapple check vs Erinyes. (Maybe more?)

10:37, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 4 using 1d20+3 with rolls of 1.  Tiaca nat 20 to escape grapple?
10:37, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 9 using 1d20+4 with rolls of 5.  Ave nat 20 to escape grapple?


SUMMARY: Latro moves away from the wall of force and puts the Erinyes in range of his Auras. He then creates his own wall, Blocking as much sight through it as he can. The wall tries and may yet succeed in grappling the Erinyes, depending on certain factors. Tiaca and Ave, now under the protection of their Master’s field, attempt to escape the Black Tentacles but to no avail. Tiaca just looks defeated and doesn’t really even try.



OOC: Would the wall of bone gain bonuses from having more sections of the wall trying to grapple the same thing? if so, that thing is grappled as heck.
also, i’m supposing that my Inherent spellcraft DC of 31 wouldn’t have let me know how Josep is casting beyond a wall of force?

LOL, you are fishing about the wall, like I said nothing noticeable/visible that would give Latro any idea how Josep summoned a creature over there unless you have magic vision of some sort.  Like I said earlier there is a valid explanation you just need to do the work to find it not going to give it to you for free.

Just checking everything i got before deciding to dedicate 2 turns to focusing my constant detect magic vision.

considering Josep didn't roll against my spellcraft DC when casting any of those spells, Latro should know exactly what spell it was and if it was modified by any metamagic as long as he's able to properly see him.

Edit: also, lsight correction my my post. On the line that says AC boosts is should read as follows:

AC Boosts: +1 dodge, 1= reflex (Haste)

The hast effect is accurately represented in Latro's AC and reflex save though as well as in his list of effects.

 Does the Wall of Bone block line of sight/effect? Or can one shoot between the bones?
Also how tall is it? It says both +1 and 20ft tall — +1 would be 10ft tall.

To not waste time, I'm posting on the assumption that the wall is indeed 20ft tall and blocks line of sight/light of effect.
 Let me know if that's not the case.

  Josep shouts:
  "Where are you going!? Is my wall confusing you? I'm glad you added your own, it makes us quite comfy now."

 This was going to be a long fight... a war of attrition if there ever was one.

 First Josep shouts to the devil, asking her to move away from the wall.

 Then he casts two spells to buff himself and Pedro.
