Now before, both the Ranger and Warlock PC had a boss fight encounter against an Alpha Warg and its pack. So, everyone was fully aware that these Bandits would have a pack of Wargs patrolling. To avoid the Warg's getting a +5 to their passive perception, the Warlock PC used Presdigitation to mask the Black Panther's scent with something that sensed foul or something. This would apply disadvantage on the Warg's Keen Sense of smell.Now granted, the Black Panther has Expertise in Stealth, but the Ranger is level 3 so its PB score is only currently +2. Now granted, I'm not sure if Expertise would've helped out much, but the Warlock player enjoyed the idea of doing this. So this allowed the Black Panther to overcome the Warg's Passive Perception and then the Black Panther scouted everything out and reported the layout/bandit/warg composition to the Ranger.Then after a quick Minor Illusion of a rabbit, with making it smell like a rabbit via Presdigitation again, the Warlock was able to have all the Warg's chase it far from the camp. Since the Alpha Warg was dead from the prior fight before, there was nothing there to wrangle the Warg pack back to the camp, which left only a few bandits and two archers, on guard posts, facing the camp's enterance.</blockquote>
