Well, I kinda left that up to the chars IC, basically, I'm thinking that any more than a quick true seeing might set it off before we half-ass the diplo, and after that, it's combat. Which depends on what's coming.
Also, this could be an attempt to get us to drain spells via illusions.
Editing vote to incude:
[] Expect ambush, ready action to cast Resilent sphere (or clerity + sphere) if the tunnels collapse/crush in.
There is the possibility that the Sultan is amused by this 'war'.The Sultan is literally a Demigod on the way to godhood, if I remember correctly?
Has he never tried a personal raid on the Opaline Vault?
Have neither of both sides actually taken risks in an attempt to finish the war rather than prolong it?
Especially after the Sultana explicitly promised to make it a war to the knife rather than anything less than that.
I could kinda understand long-running feuds between, for example, a Demon Lord and Archduke of Hell.
If they can't leave their planes without being summoned and their servants don't get past the first layers of Abyss/Hell it makes some sense, but for most other enemies that doesn't really apply.
"You seem a bit underequipped to be a credible threat for me."I'm super tempted to just start asking enemies what magic items and how much gold they're carrying.
Area dispel, after our buffing rounds, at least from one source.I second this. The fog looks like a diversion.
I'm expecting a attack from the pools to our side, the tunnel walls or the rear. They will target the arc, probably with AoE spells.

@Goldfish, I think adding to defend the arc is prudent. This guy obviously doesn't care about us or the guards and seems vastly more competent then the piles of iron.
I'm expecting a concentrated assault on the main objective as the opener.
By now the enemy should have prepared for the guard, perhaps not fully for us.I think we can trust the Shaitan to at least protect the ark, right?

At some point, I would very much like to plainly state, no euphemism or grandiosity, "or we will kill you" or "and in turn, we will not kill you"
Even more explicit than "face destruction"
@ Goldfish. We are not getting three rounds of heavy casting - it will interrupt, or be an illusion, or flee and come back in a bit.
Please drop the shield and mirror image - if they don't go for us, they might go for others. Or at least push up the fire shield and quickened haste to the round before the solo buffs.
We should be near enough to help defend and far enough not to eat the AOE spells.*looks at their performance against the iron stooges*
*looks at what the party did to them*
I hate to break it to you, but they don't exactly reek of competence...
Also, if I'm right, that will put us right into the thick of it. The place where the enemies that actually matter will be, instead of wading through chaff while the hostile leader paints the walls with Shaitan organs.

... Ok?--[X] Glyra casts Expeditious Retreat and prepares to use her Swift Invisibility SLA.
I suspect battle will be over before she is done casting.--[X] Tyene casts Invisibility, Blindsight, Entropic Shield, and Divine Favor on herself.
Now would be a nice time for Holy Aura.--[X] Richard uses him amulet to gain 12 Temp HP and his earring to gain True Seeing.
Random Resists are random.--[X] Waymar casts See Invisibility, then places Resist Energy(Acid) and Resist Energy(Electricity) on himself.
Why GMF on herself and not Viserys?--[X] Dany casts True Seeing, Chained Resist Energy(Fire), Blessed Aim, Sign, then places Greater Magic Fang on herself.
You are planning three rounds of buffing. Either make the tactical choices now or we will stand around getting ready while the main event starts.It seems too early to start making any sort of tactical decision, as we don't know what we're facing or from which direction it/they will approach. That'll be next round.

Could just summon her whip.

I doubt we will get more than one round of prep, if that.
Instead of extraneous buffs, ready actions.
Oh god, we might start monologing in/before battles! We all know what that eventually leads to (someone stabbing you during your monologue).I'm hands off with tactics, especially with our lack of information here, buttt, eh. Got fire shield and haste up first.

Also, I really want to train Viserys out of talking in battle - I think he's slipping into it a bit.
Couldn't we just use our Greater Ribbon of Disguise to pose as a Cornugon?Just had a thought. The Cornugon is Large, right?
Could we hollow him out so that HHD Viserys can use him as a sock puppet? Would spice up our interrogations a bit.
