Is Benlin’s counter specifically ready against a dispel or any spell the Bloated casts?

Readying and action to cast a Dispel Magic as a Counterspell when the Bloated casts.  I can identify the spell using spellcraft before it casts to decide if I want to dispel it.  But its either counter or nothing for that round.

In other words, I ready an action for him casting...I don't have to specify the ready to a specific spell.

I keep forgetting that Solaris is useless if he gets caught in the antimagic field.  So after rallying the troops he instead flies towards whoever is battling the bloated.

Ok. No one has headed into battle with him yet.

You see him preparing to cast a summon monster spell.

Spellcraft check of 40, can I tell what the power level is?

I do not counter that.  It is a full round spell, its range it close, and the create can't enter any of the anti magic fields.  It also means the Bloated is not in an anti magic field.

7th level spell.  He’s at the very back of the formation so spells from above can target him but not anything from ground level.

I am 250 feet from him, in the air (within medium range).  Whatever he summons will be at least 150 feet from me to start.

He summons 4 large earth elementals.

The earth elementals dive into the earth under the wug corps.

The remnants of the north and north center corps not in the windstorm splinter. Some head to the gate, taking fire from the archons and the city defenses. Others swarm behind the other divisions attacking the Icefian lines.

Round 20- the elementals emerge in front of the Bloated’s corps and attempt to form a shield against the wind but they are not big enough to form a meaningful shield.

Arion unleashes another beam of celestial light from the Gemblade. It cuts a swath through the wug lines and sends those that can see it into a panic.

Does that beam go through anti magic?

Asinjin can make a knowledge magic check if he wants.

Placing here so as not to usurp Whitesword's naming thread rights.

Are we picking up the same day and going to Phiam?  I have lots of spell prep work if that's the case.

Thank you.

A report of the situation in Portet will be posted this afternoon or evening. Until then: Shaar and Kerkley need to be rescued. After a minute or two of rest, and Astrek finding a way to get the slime off, Arion and Martine go and find Oliver and Nisoru to fight the barbarians.
