The ground is as black as obsidian, scorched and hardened over countless ages of intense heat. A shimmering bend in the air stretches across the sky a few hundred feet off the ground, where smooth, thin plates of ice float along the horizon like slender frozen clouds. Thin wisps of steam rise and fall along the edges of the flickering curve in the air. You also see a huge fire elemental.

A huge fire elemental glows a brilliant orange as fiery tendrils extend from it, snaking along the ground!
The ground around a huge fire elemental begins to boil violently!
You are injured and knocked to the ground.
... 11 points of damage!
Burst of flames to right leg blackens kneecap.
You are stunned for 1 round!
... 21 points of damage!
Flames incinerate left leg to the bone. Not a pleasant sight.

You are still stunned.

A huge fire elemental positions itself to attack you.
The evanescent shield shrouding you flares to life and absorbs the oncoming blow.


I don't know what that fire elemental did, but I know it didn't even care about 319. Intentional?

Is it possible it passed the hidden warding check for the first attack?

Maybe that counts as an environmental effect? Otherwise it probably just got lucky and passed the hidden check. The messaging for this isnt the best even when you avoid it. I thought it was just fluff messaging at first.

IF it passed the hidden check, then the second part of the log, where it attacks and 319 flares wouldn't be relevant.

I included that on purpose, not because I'm lazy.

Thank you for pointing out my misunderstanding of how the spell functions in the snarkiest way possible. Sorry I tried of offer what I thought was a plausible explanation.

That was my other thought. The elemental isn't attacking directly but causing an environmental effect to occur which 319 might not be capable of blocking. Of course if 319 does indeed block environmental effects I'm sure Krip will find a rude way to tell use that too.

It's entirely possible that I am the one who misunderstands how the spell works.

In either case, I regret you took offense. None was intended.

Well that is a far less amusing answer than everything else we came up with. Fine I guess you're just going to fix it now in a timely fashion. Boring!

Thanks for letting us know Estild.

True! There is always the chance he meant "It's a bug and I don't care I'm going to leave it just like that" but that doesn't strike me as Estild's style. I assume he's going to fix it.

And I didn't thank him for fixing it. Just... LOOKING INTO IT.

Why... it looks as though those elementals are using 319...

That's not very elemental of them. =S

That was unintentional and should now be fixed. No more siphoning off your Soul Ward for their own defense!

I bugged a similar issues regarding huge lava golems and their maneuver (lava glob attack?). It too bypasses 319 and doesn't subject them to a check until they attempt a more conventional form of attack.

Awesome! Thanks, Estild.

I'll cross my fingers that they don't try to glob me and suddenly cast 319 on themselves =P
