Message: <blockquote data-quote="Victim" data-source="post: 715863" data-attributes="member: 78">Curses.  The Wilder leader escaped before I could use Dimensional Anchor.  Oh well, I probably would have missed anyway.The dominated William, now that he seemed to have finished using the gnome's head as drum, was a bit to close for comfort, or easy spellcasting.  Hopefully, he would continue to attack that stupid beast.  It was rather unfortunate that his dispels hadn't removed the Dominate.  There was a simple way to defeat the spell.  Unfortunately, he hadn't prepared the spell; it was on a scroll.  With a thought, Darian reoriented his force shield for maximum protection.  This is probably going hurt. . . Leaving himself open for long moment, Darian reaches into his bag, shuffles for a moment, and pulls out a scroll.  Fortunately, this one, having combat applications, had been placed on top when he had rearranged his scrolls this morning.   Protection from Evil.With his attention returned to the combat, Darian defends himself with a flashing blade while awkwardly reading from the scroll.  He quickly finishes the spell and reaches out toward William.  If he remembered correctly, William had no defenses that would prevent his spell from landing.  After warding William against mental control [OOC: If Darian misses with the first touch attack, then he tries again with his action.  Ignore the following actions, but not the speech.], Darian says, "I'll be with you in moment, Verra.  There are a few loose ends to tie up down here.  He had planned on asking the dwarf to surrender, and using magic missile should he refuse.Instead, he moves to assist Verra.  If she'd used the coward's refuge of Invisibility, then the elf would need another pair of eyes.  If he notices anything with his magical detections, he'll point out the enemy to Verra.Then he notices Groknar attacking the polymorphed wizard.  "What are you doing, muderous beast?" Darian shouts angrily.    "You can't attack a defeated combatant!".  Alas, it will probably be too late for the gnome.    [reorient shield to face William: Free.  MEA: retrieve scroll - provokes AoO.  Standard: Cast Protection from Evil (lvl 1) defensively on William.  Concentration success automatic, touch attack +5.  Haste partial: move to K3]OOC: Gru, you posted while I was writing mine.  I've now edited.</blockquote>
