Xen pulls a shortspear from his gear and launches it at the commander, magic seeping out of his pores as he launches it
Read the spell, I think that you can attempt to dispel a certain spell, but that if it is not in effect, the dispel is wasted. The better option is to just cast it on the person, the Commander, and hope that it dispels something. It will attempt to dispel the highest level spell first, probably Fly. I think that getting rid of Fly is key, because then we can hold the trapdoor and someone can use levitate to levitate above the gatehouse and fire arrows or bolts down at the no-longer-flying Commander.

The big problem is that you don't really know per se that it dispels that spell...metagaming sense you might but the spell just attempts each spell until it gets one. So you would be just taking a chance of levitating up to try and attack.
Plus they nerfed levitate so it becomes harder and harder to attack via levitate with missle weapons. And you become a huge target for the 20 guards with bows looking for a target.
"A levitating creature that attacks with a melee or ranged weapon finds itself increasingly unstable; the first attack has a –1 penalty on attack rolls, the second –2, and so on, to a maximum penalty of –5. A full round spent stabilizing allows the creature to begin again at –1."
Round 3
Assuming Judge cast enlarge on Edmin in round 2 he will hold until it takes affect.
If not, belay the attack. The commander will have to come down 5' to attack edmin giving Ogre and Morty an AoO if they position near Edmin. Either that or the Commander will have to back up.
He now has reach so he will move to attack the commander and stay in the room.
I was wondering about that. Morsum also has reach with his bite. Can he reach the Commander making his commentary? If a 10' reach is not enough, would 15' work as I can cast Enlarge Person on Morsum as well.

Xen already threw his spear in Round Three, so he can't throw the tanglefoot bag until Round Four.
I assume the Judge will cast Enlarge. Sir Edmin attacks. Dren healed himself. That leaves Jax, Zimu, Ragnar, and Morsum. (And Grumblejack, who goes after the Commander.)

Can we please assume Grumblejack moved to a favorable position for his round one action, as directed by who has clear understanding of the map.
And maybe he should not power attack?
I don't play melee types so don't jump on me if that is not sound.

Cуровую's Round 1 actions, Bluff 26, 'We have seven of the town's children hostage! What say you to that commander? Their life is in your hands.'
Move action to take a Scroll out.
Any response to the Bluff?
Cуровую's Round 2
Dispel Magic on the commander.
Ok some bad news, guys, DM is making me make Will save FREQUENTLY, there is a good chance I will miss one sooner or later. What happens is I fail? I hae no idea.
So ... Will 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Hopefully I rolled high enough

Ok supper big roll (and using a 1,200 gp item, also a personally painful to Cуровую because now she will never get to Dispel the Magister's Spellbook)

Apparently SOMEBODY told the Commander that you guys are not to be trusted. And even if he believed you, everyone in town will die if the monsters take the Tower. So he's ignoring you.

How is a scroll of Dispel Magic a 1200 gp item?
In any event... it works! The Commander's feet are now touching the ground; his Fly spell has been dispelled.
Apparently SOMEBODY told the Commander that you guys are not to be trusted.
Note also that you've used Bluff multiple times already, including a couple of times with people who've escaped to tell about it (i.e., the blue-robed woman). Presumably they'll have debriefed the Commander by now.
It's a tactic that can be incredibly useful the first time. But with intelligent opponents, it'll run out quickly. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me," etc.

We actually never got to Bluff the pain in the Monk, she just started throwing punches, and a few kicks, and smiling as she did it, EVERYONE we did Bluff from the Magister to the lead Dwarf to the remaining Captain (well save Moma Kola) is now playing dead with Bref.
Now that you mention it, you didn't bluff the monk. My bad! That said, the other points still prevail -- he's been told that you're deceivers, he knows you're evil, and any "hostages" would be dead anyway if the Tower falls. And even if he believed you, the sensible course would be to take you captive and then use Zone of Truth to get some answers out of you. So, still no.

Jax will definitely be around.

Morsum begins to move closer to the Commander trying to get close enough that he can trip the man with this distended shadowy maw. - I have a 10' reach.
Let me have the statuette, I can use it while you use your axe.
Whether or not the Commander answers, the Judge will begin to cast Enlarge Person on Morsum.
Didn't you already cast Enlarge on Edmin this round?
Quote:
After his request to Edmin, the Judge calls to the Commander:
You claim you sent a raven to investigate the supposed accident, what did the raven see?
Actually, no, he never claimed that. That was me, telling you what happened. You don't know that he sent a raven based on his conversation with Nimpy; all you know is that he just mentioned "a halfling". (Who was, in fact, Nimpy.) So you double don't know where the raven went, whether it came back, and if so what message it brought.
If you really want to know:
He sent a raven south to investigate Nimpy's bona fides -- is there any such person? He got a message back this morning saying, yes, there was a minor adventurer by that name; yes, he did indeed hang around with this other group of adventurers; yes, they all vanished at sea six months ago; and yes, those three things Nimpy pointed out that only he could know do indeed all seem to be true.
He also sent a message to Varning's patrol to swing by the site of the Frosthamar. They didn't find the Captain's body (you buried it well off in the woods) but they did find the recently burned remains of the ship in the shallows offshore. This, combined with other things that tended to reinforce Nimpy's story (the border has indeed been weirdly quiet for the last few weeks, there are indeed odd rumors of a bugbear army assembling, Father Dunnigan's disappearance) led to the Commander taking Nimpy's warnings much more seriously -- just a bit too late.
Round 1 - Shield on Morsum
Round 2 - Enlarge Person on Edmin (takes effect at the beginning of the Judge's turn in round 3)
Round 3 - Enlarge Person on Morsum (takes effect at the beginning of the Judge's turn in round 4)
Morsum begins to move closer to the Commander trying to get close enough that he can trip the man with this distended shadowy maw. - I have a 10' reach.
Acrobtics(if necessary) to avoid AoO: 1d20+7
No acrobatics check needed unless you're trying to move past him.
Okay, to speed things along I'll have Jax pull out his scroll of Grease and try to separate the Commander from his longsword. Worth a shot, right? Jax, please mark the scroll off.
That... that could have been the Commander's to-hit roll! Ahhh!
Well: As Sir Edmin rushes up the stairs, he begins to crackle with energy. His eyes seem to glow with red light, and his hair stands on end. A rippling, crackling black and red aura surrounds the axe of Branderscar as he brings it town. The Commander raises his shield to meet it.
CRASH. The Commander staggers backwards, clearly shaken. 35 points of damage on the champion of Good!
