[PhoenixRivers]

Round 1, First to act:

Spoiler

Show

Double move to B20 (edge of mist cloud)
Hide: (1d20+20)[29]

You're up.

EDIT: If you plan on asking me for los information, I'll need to have vision modes. Mine are currently: Nothing special.

What do you mean by that you're burning 3 turn attempts? You can't stack Law Devotion with further uses from turn attempts, if that's what you're trying.

[Adumbration]

Actions:

Spoiler

Show

Cast Obscuring Mist, centered on self at F2.

End of turn. You're up.

EDIT: Hang on a second. Editing post in a whiff.

Law devotion provides boni to 2 different things, which do not overlap. How does that not stack?

If you can provide me with the ruling, I'll activate it only once, choosing to augment attack rolls.

Vision modes: darkvision, low-light vision. But let me know if you gain LoS somewhere near the starting area, there's something very obvious for you to see there.

[PhoenixRivers]

Ditto, on the Southwest area of the map.

[Adumbration]

You're up, anyway. I'm discussing something with DMs, but it shouldn't affect anything yet.

[PhoenixRivers]

Actions:

Spoiler

Show

Double move to B14.

You're up.

[Adumbration]

Actions:

Spoiler

Show

Twiddle thumbs.

Your turn.

[PhoenixRivers]

Round 3:

Spoiler

Show

Double Move to B8

I should have LOS to a good portion of your starting area. central area definately, west area definately, east area is a bit sketchy. Either way, you're up.

[Adumbration]

Centered on F2, you see a cloud of mist, obscuring your vision. 20 ft radius, 20 ft high.

Actions:

Spoiler

Show

Total defence.

You're up.

[PhoenixRivers]

My action:

Spoiler

Show

Double move, to F4.
Hide: (1d20+15)[23] (movement penalty included).

You're up. I can see in portions of the fog, to E3-G5.

[Adumbration]

As in see into those portions, or see from those?

If the former, you do not detect anything.

Actions:

Spoiler

Show

Move action to listen: (1d20+21)[22]. Standard action to ready to punch with stunning fist if someone comes within 5 feet of him.

You're up. Could use a DM; just made an active listen check.

[PhoenixRivers]

It was the former. I doubt your listen check will reveal anything (not because I doubt your ability to roll high. Without very specific spells, I'm not detectable by listen, regardless of the roll).

[PhoenixRivers]

My Turn (barring successful listen):

Spoiler

Show

Hide: (1d20+20)[37]
Move to F3.
If I see him: Ready action to move if he leaves my LOS.
If I don't: Ready action to move if he enters my LOS.

Vision now extends to E2-G4. Unless your vision modes have changed, you'll still detect nothing. If your vision modes have changed, I'd need a spot check.

Your turn.

[Adumbration]

Vision modes have not changed, but in hindsight, I should have mentioned something previously. I honestly forgot this completely until now - if this would've changed your actions had you known, I'm willing to rewind.

The area of the mist glows faintly with golden light, and if you enter:

Spoiler

Show

All spells of 3rd level or lower currently affecting you are suppressed while you are inside the area.

If you keep your actions as they've been so far:

Spoiler

Show

You see a winged, angelic man in F2. He is wearing an ornated kilt, but nothing else - not jewelry, armor nor weapons. He appears to be actively defending himself.

Actions, if you choose to keep actions so far:

Spoiler

Show

Total defense. Switch Law devotion to AC - for now, I'm presuming two uses don't stack, and had the devotion previously on attack rolls.

[PhoenixRivers]

My actions, thus far, stand. No change to what you see.

[PhoenixRivers]

Spellcraft:(1d20+3)[19] (golden aura)

[Adumbration]

Very well. Your turn.

EDIT: Spellcraft reveals nothing.

[PhoenixRivers]

Quick question: Does the effect you generate that turns off 3rd level and lower spells extend to coterminous planes? It won't change my action, I just need the info to accurately state the action.

[Adumbration]

It is an abjuration effect, so it should extend to the ethereal plane at least. Not sure what other coterminous planes there are, so don't know about them.

You're fine on the double Law Devotion. I was under the mistaken impression that it only cost 1 use of turn undead to gain further uses, so I thought you were trying to use it 3 times for +21.

Claudius:

Excellent.

Okay, now that's settled, feel free to go ahead with your turn, Phoenix.

[PhoenixRivers]

Action:

Spoiler

Show

Move Action: Ghost Strike
Standard Action: Cast Scorching Ray, which fails to manifest.

No visible effects. Your turn.

EDIT: @Claudius:

Spoiler

Show

If all spell effects of 3rd level and lower are suppressed, could you verify the fog is not? I don't know of any fog spell effects of level 4 or higher that occupy the area given.

[Adumbration]

Actions:

Spoiler

Show

Ready an action to shoot a mind arrow if LoS is established.

If you can see my character:

Spoiler

Show

You see him readying an action.

EDIT: End of turn.

[PhoenixRivers]

I have a question that I posed Claudius, but perhaps you can answer.

All my level 3 and lower spells are suppressed. Only effect I know of that does this is a lesser globe of invulnerability.

20 foot radius fog spheres (that don't inhibit movement), to my knowledge, are created by precisely 2 spells. Obscuring Mist and Fog Cloud. Both are below level 4.

I'd like to verify the existence of the fog.

[Claudius Maximus]

Could I get a position from both of you?

Adumbration:

Spoiler

Show

What effect is preventing 3rd level and lower effects from functioning? If that fog is Obscuring Mist, why is it not suppressed?
