She just fried some nerve endings in their brains and that was it. Of course, you could rule that she could reverse it, but that's not how psionics had been established to work in this campaign.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-40501923695288802432019-07-21T21:54:06.409+01:002019-07-21T21:54:06.409+01:00I suppose my thought was that it was her power tha...I suppose my thought was that it was her power that caused the sleeping sickness effect. Presumably she would be able to reverse that effect. I do find it funny that as of this adventure, these characters have been alive for several centuries and their problem-solving outlook still hasn't moved past bashy-bashy-stab-stab.johntfshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005496604068259398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-16516057071707737152019-07-20T16:08:04.386+01:002019-07-20T16:08:04.386+01:00The characters could try talking to her.

In my version she was too frightened and mentally disturbed for there to be any real chance of getting through to her, but if one of the players had thought of something brilliant then maybe it would have worked. (They just attacked; any kind of planning or diplomacy is way beyond them.)<br /><br />Even if they'd got her back to the mainland -- well, it's the 9th century and people are superstitious. I don't think she'd have survived. In any case, Jeffredo would still have sleeping sickness and there's nothing anybody was able to do about that.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-76526986053395226322019-07-20T13:45:50.234+01:002019-07-20T13:45:50.234+01:00What would be the roll to communicate with the &qu...What would be the roll to communicate with the "gorgon?" That would seem to be the best way to solve the situation for Jeffredo. Convince her to come with them to remove the affliction and perhaps remain on Pylos as a defensive measure for the island where she can be cared for and fed.johntfshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005496604068259398noreply@blogger.com
