[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 7286622, member: 5890"] It sounds like you're all a bit hazy on the rules, which is leading to the DM being a bit of a cheat. Lets start at the beginning: Enemies abound doesn't actually force you to attack anyone. It just means that when you [i]do[/i] attack, you must choose a random target. Now maybe what happened is the Simulacrum, the evoker and the barbarian were all standing right next to each other (which seems odd), and then the simulacrum provoked an AOO, at which point the barbarian would be forced to take it, and forced to roll to see who he attacked. Additionally, the spell should have started combat (albeit with you guys being surprised). The barbarian gets advantage on his initiative check, and can act normally on his first action as long as he rages (ie - he wouldn't act surprised). If he's a berserker, he would then be immune to enemies abound, since he's immune to fear while raging. You can't cast a bonus action spell and any other spell in a round, and you can't combine metamagic except for empower, so this round is illegal. Also I assume the spiritual weapon did nothing, since it's way, way, way out of range of you and nobody has bonus actions to make it reposition. Spell sniper doesn't work for magic missile, so he's had to close in for this. Earth bind only stops you from flying, and does not restrain you in any other way. I don't know what you mean here. I'm assuming he didn't cast these all in a single round or something. This was kind of his own fault, if he cast fly when the bad guys are up next, and didn't hide after doing so... This is getting quite muddled, but make sure he doesn't try to use earthbind to force you to stay in the silence(all it does is stop you flying), make the silence move to keep on you (it's stationary and only 20ft radius), nor use silence and quickened magic missiles in a single round (that's cheating).
