Yes, you got stunned last round.

OOC: Thank you for that info. Now, we were coming down a street when we hit the barrier. How far back along the road is clear (meaning before a turn, hill or roadblock blocks our vision)?

Now everyone is here, and Arundel gets an extra action since he hasnt gone this round. Time to save your friends.

Does Arundel notice whether the smoke cuts off sharply in a plane where the green barrier Shando hit was?

Is this a reasonable sketch of the situation?

OOC: Point of order DM: When you first were speaking of us taking on the job of guarding Piergeron, you said we were part of the security detail, beefing things up as it were. Am I wrong is this? If not, where are the rest of his detail? Sorry, the thought just occured to me.

Your situation is a little better than that. You are on the same side of the Wall of Force as everything else. The ballista and its crew are about 200 feet back from the wall, along the relatively straight road. You guys entered on a street that intersects with the road a about 40 ft behind the nearest combatant. Goran and his group are laying low on that side street.

P.S.Thats awesome. I really wish I knew how to make something like that

You were his visible detail that went with him tonight. there were other folks at the party, but there wasnt time to get them all to come with, and it would blow covers.

Arundel touches his organisation insignia, calling out a quick prayer to Waukeen.

OOC: Casting Insignia of Healing, to affect everyone bearing the organisation pin - I hope Shando, Dyria, and Zephyr remembered to wear theirs today! +6 from Augment Healing - total 1d8+16. /OOC

As the others appear from the side street, he points up to the rooftop where the energy missiles appeared from.

"Mage!" he calls to Fin, and wheels on the spot to drop a Flame Strike on the alchemist's-fire-laden ballista crew.

As dozens and dozens of cats come boiling out of nooks and crannies, Fin points them up to the indicated rooftop. "Hunt, children!" he orders.

Revised:
The cats dispatched on their mission, Fin begins a casting of his own.

OOC: One round spell - dropping Sunbeam for a Summon Nature's Ally VII to summon 1d3 Augmented Huge Earth Elementals. If he actually manages to get the spell off, I'll get you a stat block :)

OOC: Okeydokey.

Concentrating through the pain of the combat, Shando wills himself to slip between here and there, placing himself about 10 feet behind the line currently composed of Arundel, Crimson, Fin etc.. (Abundent Step, Supernatural ability that doesn't provoke an AOO)

OOC: Manifest Defensive Precognition (duration 13 min, +5 insight bonus to AC and Saves) and Force Screen (duration 13 min, +7 shield bonus to AC).
