I auto-succeed concentration checks DC 13 and below anyways so I would have succeeded anyways.
D&D 5E Sample adventure to test 5E in high level (15th) play. Any takers?

Yes. Did I notice any magic before I dropped concentration on Detect Magic, though?

Yes; 20' in front of you on the ground. Abjuration aura.
Hmm, I probably didn't notice so moot point - but I think we need this being (divination and the fact that he likely knows what we need) and pissing him off might not be the way to go? So I'd try diplomacy first?
Anyway I'll wait a few more minutes (real time) and then launch into some diplomacy.
Edit: By real time I meant above game. In game It'll be near instantaneous because I don't want this being to have too much time before I can talk.
Ok:
Bartholomew will address the pit fiend with all of the dignity and flattery reserved for a high noble,
The upshot will be a highlight of what is actually going on (figure he knows most of it already and if not, some risks must be taken) and that we MUST get to the engine as soon as possible to prevent catastrophe to this place as well as the prime and other planes (I am trying to stick to the truth, so If what I just typed is not accurate - I'm absolutely meaning to be accurate). Basically explain our purpose and that we do not wish to otherwise impose.
I will also weave in, subtly, that while I am being polite, we COULD approach from a position of strength and force our way in - but out of respect (as I'm sure this being assumes he's due) are not doing so. Basically, convey strength as opposed to weakness,
The point will be to see if I can guide him to "decide" to show us what he can (hopefully a clear way to where we need to go).
That a pretty clear outline of what I'm trying to do?

Taking into account what the Bard said above, are you sure you want to do that?

Yep that makes sense.
Just waiting on confirmation from the sorcerer above and the other PCs to chime in with anything they want to add
