My brother told me that the wall of force is a shimmering wall, it's visible. You can see the wall of force as you see the magic missile.

Anyway, Van will cast stoneskin this round.

Okay that's fine. There might be a reason the wall is invisible Van.

Lucius really can't think of anything worthwhile doing while the wall is up. He had not prepared for it, and his arts still do not include bringing down others' defenses. He decides on casting a Detect Magic spell trying to perceive the extent of the mage's wall.

"Perhaps I can send something above the wall", he thinks.

[OOC: the idea is to understand how high the wall is, and if circles the mage completely or one can walk around it. It could also allow to estimate the power of the mage, if that's ok]

Just to add that if the wall is not too high, he'll Summon a swarm of bats next and try to make it fly over the wall and then annoy the wizard somehow.

Of course. It's a good idea. Once everyone declares their actions, I will post once more ;)

Anyway, Van will cast stoneskin this round.
A wall of force spell creates an invisible wall of force. The wall cannot move, it is immune to damage of all kinds, and it is unaffected by most spells, including dispel magic. However, disintegrate immediately destroys it, as does a rod of cancellation, a sphere of annihilation, or a mage’s disjunction spell. Breath weapons and spells cannot pass through the wall in either direction, although dimension door, teleport, and similar effects can bypass the barrier. It blocks ethereal creatures as well as material ones (though ethereal creatures can usually get around the wall by floating under or over it through material floors and ceilings). Gaze attacks can operate through a wall of force.

The caster can form the wall into a flat, vertical plane whose area is up to one 10- foot square per level. The wall must be continuous and unbroken when formed. If its surface is broken by any object or creature, the spell fails.

Wall of force can be made permanent with a permanency spell.

Material Component: A pinch of powder made from a clear gem.

Notice the word invisible there, Van?

Is Cornelius aware of the wall o'force? I mean, has he bumped up against it?

If he has, I have a plan. Let's dig underneath it. I've got a shovel! Or- if there is a big rock anywh=re along the base of the wall, I can stoneshape a passag below it.

Okay- Cornelius will try using stoneshape to pass under the wall.

Van will polymorph to griffon and if one of the others wants he will get him at the other side of the wall.

Where has Van heard of Griffons by the way? I dont think there are any in RL to her knowledge. Chose again. Scan through a RL monster manual and chose a flying creature there, if thats what you want.
