Dear fellow Playgrounders,
I stumbled upon this rule conundrum. Maybe you can falsify (or verify) my interpretation and offer the correct sequence. The following is happening:
Enemy A (a mid level caster without any contingencies) is in sight of Caster B and Melee C. Everyone rolls initiative: Caster B and Melee C have higher results than Enemy A.
Caster B moves and uses Ready (Standard Action): When Enemy A is starting to cast a spell, I want to cast Telekinetic Charge targeting Melee C.
Melee C moves (in range of Caster B) and uses Ready (Standard Action): When Enemy A is within reach, I want to attack him with my weapon.
Enemy A starts his turn and wants to cast a spell as a Standard Action.
Ready Action of Caster B triggers and launches Melee C right next to Enemy A.
Melee C uses an immediate action to attack Enemy A.
Ready Action of Melee C triggers. He attacks Enemy A as a Standard Action. Not possible because the immediate action is taken before the readied action which cancels the readied action.
Enemy A rolls Concentration against possible damage taken.
???Enemy A rolls Concentration to cast defensively OR Melee C makes an attack of opportunity because Enemy A triggers is by casting next to him (possibly twice if it is a ranged touch spell).???
Caster B and Melee C end up with an initiative score one above Enemy A (according to the Ready Action).
Is this sequence correct? Where am I horribly wrong? The one marked with 3 question marks is the point, I can't wrap my head around.
