[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9858981, member: 7030563"] Yes they are. The spell tells you what the target does and its senses are not part of it at all. The text says: [B][I]"Flee.[/I][/B][I] The target spends its turn moving away from you by the fastest available means."[/I] It says "fastest available means" not the fastest means chosen by the target, nor the means that he believes is fastest, nor the fastest means that he can see, nor fastest means that are safe, it is the fastest means that exist. I will add this as well - if you have some difficult terrain in behind you; say a patch of quicksand or from a spike growth, that you can't see, the spell would compel you to go around it skirting the edge, even though you don't know it is there, as that is faster than going through the difficult terrain and the spell will make you go away using the "fastest means available" which is not in this case going through the difficult terrain.
