  You see a tall, thin bald man with a legubrious expression, clad from head to toe in simple gray robes, with a few bland accessories. He looks a bit bored and somewhat baffled.

conversations:  Ok then, "free action that can be used on other people's turn"
  
  The half orc throws back his head, letting forth a primal combination of a tiger's growl, a wolf's howl, and the scream of a man in pain.
  
   
   Spoiler 
  Instantaneous Rage, Intimidating Rage, Skill Mastery (Intimidate)
   
  
  
  You suddenly feel very frightened.  Roll 1d20+level+Wis+modifiers against fear vs DC 64 or cower for 9 rounds.

conversations:  I am immune to that effect.
  
  On my turn I cast hold monster. The DC for the will save is 19.
  
  Swift action: Suddenly, I am surrounded by a host of illusory copies of myself.
  
  
  Observers:
   
   Spoiler 
   That's a greater mirror image if you can hit the spellcraft DC. Also, readied action so if you pass within 40 feet of me, I cast blasphemy.
   
  
  /
  I forgot to mention that my form flickers like a strobe light. My carbon copies also flicker. I have a special readied action, btw, so be aware of that. Your turn may be interrupted.

conversations:  Very good. The ball is in your court.
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  Ok, the half orc grimaces at your bravery, and charges the casters.
  
  I assume your readied action starts?
  
  My Blindsight negates mirror images and bluring effects.
  
  I'll continue if your action doesnt go off.
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  My action goes off when you hit 40 feet. It was to cast blasphemy. Unless you're evil or have 14 or more HD, you are at least dazed. Possibly worse, depending on your # of HD. If this means nothing to you, by all means charge and anihilate me.
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  Dazed, correct.
  
  And...just so you know...we were 20ft apart...you didnt have to ready that.
  
  I have 13 HD.
  
  Your turn, I presume.
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  I cast resilliant sphere targeting myself.
conversations: Human Paragon 3:

conversations:  My turn?  The half orc walks up to the edge of the sphere before glaring at you and uncorking a flask he wears at his side and drinking it.

  If you are no longer immune to my demoralization, you must make that modified level check vs DC 64 again.

conversations:  You cant cast through a Resiliant Sphere...just in case you didnt know that.
  
  Will Save  (1d20+15)[ 25 ] 
  
  EDIT: My turn?
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  I believe you can, as nothing in the spell description states that you can't cast through it. As long as the spell only requires LoS and not LoI, it's my understanding that you can cast through it. If not, just show me the rule and we'll try something else.
  
  And yes, your turn. Though a ruling might be necessary to move on.
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  A globe of shimmering force encloses a creature, provided the creature is small enough to fit within the diameter of the sphere. The sphere contains its subject for the spell’s duration. The sphere is not subject to damage of any sort except from a rod of cancellation, a rod of negation, a disintegrate spell, or a targeted dispel magic spell. These effects destroy the sphere without harm to the subject.  Nothing can pass through the sphere, inside or out,  though the subject can breathe normally.
  
  The subject may struggle, but the sphere cannot be physically moved either by people outside it or by the struggles of those within. 
  
  The bolded part is the key.  I'll ask Tide though.
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  That's an understandable ruling, although I don't think spellcasting passes anything through the sphere, unless it's like a ray or magic missile or something. Let's see what the higher powers have to say. If Tide rules with you this battle gets a lot more interesting!
conversations: Human Paragon 3:

conversations:  Tide ruled my way:

  So...redo that round?  Its your turn, and you are inside the sphere.
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  All right. I cast  
   Spoiler 
  freedom of movement instead.
   
   Your go.
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  You are still inside the sphere?  Ok...
  
  The half orc glares at you again, then tenses, seeming to ready himself for something.
  
   
   Spoiler 
  Intimidate stuff, Ready action to attack wizard if he moves out of the sphere
   
  
  
  ...You are still immune, arent you?
  
  Your turn.
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  Yep.
  
  The bald man reaches into his sleeve and touches his arm. He shakes his head like he has "the willies." He sighs.
  
   
   Spoiler 
   Activated psionic tattoo of touch site.
   
  
  
  "I hope I'm not boring you," he says. "You are very scary. I think. I mean, I'm sure most people would find you very scary."
  
  He shrugs.
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  The half orc looks slightly puzzled.
  
  "Why do you not scream and cower in fear?  Thats what everyone else does.  No matter how friendly Im trying to be.  But yes, you are starting to bore me.  Let us fight for blood and honor!"
  
  My turn?
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  Indeed, your turn. Sorry. Thought some flavor would make this a little more interesting.
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  Oh yes, definitely.
  
  The half orc clicks his heels together, and his boots sprout wings.
  
   
   Spoiler 
  Activate Winged Boots.
   
  
  
  Oh, and tell me when your immunity wears off (if ever).  Im getting tired of saying that I keep glaring at you, so my character just keeps doing it every turn from now on.
  
  Your turn.
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  I'll let you know.
  
  A thought: I plan on casting a number of little buffs before I dispel the sphere. If you have no way of affecting me while I'm inside it, can I just list off the spells I target myself with over the next few rounds?
  
  Either way, the bald man raises his hands to the heavens and says, "Ortankx, you're getting me out of this whether you want to or not."
  
   
   Spoiler 
  Casts Divine Insight.
   
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  Yeah...I'll list what I plan to do as well...how many rounds does it take you?
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  I'll take 3 more rounds for 500, Alex.
  
  Over the next three rounds, the bald man reaches into his robes and touches something... twice. He then says one more little prayer. A weird amorphous film clings to him. It seems to cause him no small measure of disgust.
  
   
   Spoiler 
  psionic tattoo of force screen, psionic tattoo of concealing amporpha. Dispell evil.
   
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  Perfect number for me too!  Or, at least, 2 buffs and a readied action.
  
  The half orc drinks two more potions before tensing at the ready.
  
   
   Spoiler 
  Potion of Barkskin, Potion of Shield, Ready Action to attack
   
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  "On your mark. Get set..."
  
  The bald man waves his hands, vanishing and leaving the empty sphere before you.
  
  No looky!

conversations:  Even through barriers? Also, does a hide check help?
  
  
  
  EDIT: Just looked. Requires line of effect which you do not have.
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  Actually...you're right.  Nevermind, I cant see you around barriers.  Had to look it up.

   Five foot step to k4, then Sudden Widened Solid Fog centered on f7.
   
  
  
  You see fog! Fog and it's everywhere! It's in your hair, it's in your pores! So much fog... and it's so SOLID.
  
  Your movement is decreased to 5', you cannot 5-foot step. You have -2 to attacks and damage rolls.

  Correction: Do I sense your location due to blindsight?

  EDIT: Where's that Deathnote comic jpg when you need it?
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  Not even for a second while you cast the spell?  So you could have LoE to me?
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  I didn't cast at you, I cast it at a square that you weren't on.
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human

   Spoiler 
  The half orc moves straight up 10ft
   
  
  
  Your turn.
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:

conversations:  I move five feet south to k5. This probably pings your blindsight and, if so, will also ping my touchsight. Where are you now?

  The half orc moves up 10 more feet, reaching the top of the cloud.  He grins triumphantly.
  
  "Your spells cant stop me, baldy.  I will keep coming for you.  When are you just going to give up?  I'll accept your surrender, if you give it."

  Targeted dispel magic on your boots.

  Regardless of result, move to K1, possible thanks to freedom of movement.
  
  End turn.
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
conversations: human
conversations:  Damn.  Fortanately, the solid nature of the fog eliminates any falling damage (think on the bright side of life?).
  
  Wait, how big is this thing?  I should be able to tell due to my blindsight...what are its dimensions?
conversations: Olo Demonsbane:
conversations: human
conversations:  I'm not sure you'd know this, but I'll give it to you. It's a 40 foot radius (80 foot diameter) and 40 feet high. It encompasses the entire arena, though I don't know how high the ceiling is or if there is one.
  
  Free action: "I'd gladly end this charade if you wish. I'll accept  your  surrender."
conversations: Human Paragon 3:
