D&D 5E 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

[Hohige]

My turn?

 

[Oofta]

Not so much, it is clear that the DM is in favor of our Galandris's ally. Accepting everything he wants, including changing clear actions.

It's clear that Galandris misunderstood positioning since you declared your contingency after he declared his action. It's theater of the mind so either accept the DM's ruling or abdicate.

It's your turn. There is a Yuan-Ti wizard standing next to you. You used your action to strike at him and missed. There is another Yuan-Ti wizard approximately 100' in the air, hurtling toward the ground. You are 312' closer to your sim, measured along the surface of the earth, than when you started. There are two riderless Pegasi about 650' up in the air, and a riderless Nightmare some 1000' feet away from you.

What do you do?

I strongly disagree.
The contingency trigger is revealed 3 days ago.

If that's your opinion, you need to recheck the logs. Note that when he posted his second self's action, he thought you were still mounted on the Nightmare, even to the point of mentally commanding you to hit your mount. Once it was clarified that you were no longer mounted, but were, in fact, alone on the ground, he acted accordingly.

What I am concerned with is the wording of the two distant dimension doors -- I'd thought it was the same word, so they should trigger simultaneously. That means the destinations should have been chosen before the Dispelling. I don't know if I misread or misunderstood the situation, though. Maybe @Galandris or @fearsomepirate would be willing to clarify that for me?

It's your turn. There is a Yuan-Ti wizard standing next to you. You used your action to strike at him and missed. There is another Yuan-Ti wizard approximately 400' in the air, hurtling toward the ground. You are 312' closer to your sim, measured along the surface of the earth, than when you started.

What do you do?

Wrong.
You won't change his actions.
Sorry.
It's 240ft of me.

The Simulacrum casts Distant Empowered Freezing Sphere on Pegasus and the Yuant ti

The Sorcerer casts Distant Dimention Door.

You "remembered" it, after the wizard's actions had been declared. The stream of the battle has been edited to reflect that: Your contingency went off before his turn, so he was allowed to revise his turn to reflect that the situation was different than he'd originally understood.

It's as clear as water.

The Yuant A usis his Contingency to Distant Dimention door at 240ft at Nightmate and dispel Nightmare.
The Nightmare become hostile, triggering The Bastion Contingency:
He teleports to ground, closer to his Simulacrum.
Yuan ti B, uses his contingency to Distant Dimention door and casts Distant Crown of Madness at 240ft at air.

Clear as water.

Except that he can reach you on the ground, so--after the changed situation has been clarified--that is what he chose to do.

It's up to you to keep track of when your contingency triggers. If you forget, maybe it doesn't trigger. You "forgot" then "remembered" and you were allowed to deploy it. The wizard's situation had changed, so he was allowed to change his declared actions.

As you say, clear as water.
