This is the contrary to the description of the Opportunity Attack that explicitly mentions that.Page 195: Opportunity Attack: "The atlack interrupts the provoking creature's movement, occurring right before the creature leaves your reach."2.)So, because of the fact that you don't interrupt you opponent, Counterspell is casted on the creatures own turn. Furthermore, if the initial caster (NPC) tries to counterspell the Counterspell (of Character), he does this not on it's inital turn, but his next turn.Turn 1 NPC -> Turn Character -> Turn 2 NPCIn conclusion my unterstanding is:NPC: Casts a spell [OWN turn].Character: Casts Counterspell [OWN turn -> because no Opportunity Attack -> no interrupting]NPC: Casts Counterspell [2nd OWN TURN]So, there is no restriction of casting two spells (initial spell + Counterspell), because it's not with in one, but two turns. So yes, it's possible to counterspell a Counterspell.What do you think? Am I right?Regards</blockquote>
