Move so I can hit the spellcaster with a narrow part of the cone, miss the dog, have Bimble behind me and have the cone spread out towards her goons.
Not casting, though. Currently using my action to use diplomacy.
diplomacy: 1D20+6 = [16]+6 = 22
Edit: Also, is she telling the truth??? or is she trying to con me?
Sense Motive: 1D20+4 = [10]+4 = 14
