[QUOTE="satori01, post: 2224111, member: 7859"] Essentially it sounds like your DM wanted you guys to "witness" a pivotal event, hoping to build up tention. Of course as a player it is going to be frustrating to "witness" something happen, especailly when you have been told the scenario is interactive, and your goal is to stop it. As a DM I will say it can be quite a challenge to plan truly interactive plot pivotal junctions. Your notes suddenly become like a chose your own adventure iceburg, 1/3 is visible to the players and 2/3s of your work is never really seen. I dont think this is a case of DM vs Player, but rather a case of DM concentrating on story, but not an interactive story. I would ask your DM for your wish back, as it seems that it was an expenditure of a mighty resource for what essentially turned out to be a cut scene; a wish is a mighty hefty ticket price to watch a film of someone porting away. I wouldnt expect to get the wish back, but like NBA coaches commenting to refrees in the playoffs it might get you some future consideration, it might also prompt the DM to reveal some behind the scenes factors maybe your party missed that could have altered the outcome.
