One Plane at a Time [IC]

"It's been awhile since I had to counter other magics, but I'll give it a shot." Approaching the struggling Duke, a cruel grin crossed Mordaci's face. "Now now, Duke, there's no need to struggle. This won't hurt a bit. What comes after, well, I can't make any promises about that." Placing his hand where the barrier of light had previously appeared, Mordaci let a pulse of pure magic flow through his hand, attempting to shock the barrier into submission.

I have a Dispel Magic prepared for today. It's a bit low-level, but hopefully it will take care of whatever that is.

Typhus

"Dispelling enemy magics? That's something I was bred for."

Typhus also focusses a surge of energy into breaking down the Duke's defences, certain that nothing can oppose his will.

Typhus's spell rips rather half-heartedly at the nimbus of light as Mordaci's seems to cut into it with only slightly less power. However, the light deflects both attacks. Whoever cast the spell must have been quite powerful indeed...

Stiches continues to hold the duke, getting mildly annoyed at the light show in front of her.

Drop the shield or I'll break you, little man.

Duke Alonar's mouth moves in fright, and he shakes his head as much as he can. Which isn't much.

Typhus

"We're in no rush, I vote we sit here and work on shattering that field until it gives out. Might we worth stripping him of any potentially magical items, though."

On his turn, Typhus will dispel again.

Belyb Analuema Dinidi says little, continuing to ready a mental assault for when the curious shield goes down.

Readying an action for Psionic Dominate (fully augmented to Days/level, able to affect basically anything not outright immune, and a whole lot of wasted targets to get the DC up: Will DC 48 Negates) for when that silly Protection effect falls to a Dispel. We've got a rather lot of trys, nobody's listening, hopefully nobody's watching, and anyone who would have been expecting to talk to the king later isn't expecting to talk to him soon, as he was going into negotiations, which often take a long time - so we shouldn't be interrupted, theoretically.

"This grows old. I have no means to aid our friend in removing the shield. May I hit him? Perhaps some aggressive persuassion would aid the Duke in reaching the right decision about his pretty shield?" Mordaci's foot tapped impatiently. While they had some time before the guards returned, he was getting anxious, and desired results quicker. He was contemplating lowering the spell which changed his form, just to scare the Duke a little. Perhaps if he knew who he was dealing with, the Duke would be more likely to cooperate. Giving the shield a once over, Mordaci attempted to figure out exactly what they were dealing with. If he could identify the spell, he might have the knowledge to counter it.

Well, since I only have one Dispel prepared today, let's throw out a Spellcraft check, see if I can't find a more direct counter for this. I suspect it is Magic Circle Against Evil, but I don't know if that has a dispelling counter persay.

If you're not mistaken, it's a protection from evil, that spell that every caster ever knows. The only problem really is that those dispels were pitiful, and the caster was strong.
