Maybe its the futon that's to blame...
Futon of Forgetfulness:
This seemingly ordinary, well-worn futon grants a single living creature who rests upon it the ability to slip from the minds of those who would otherwise seek out the creature for whatever reason. While neither the futon nor its occupant become truly invisible, those who see the futon and its occupant quickly loose all interest in either and, once out of the futon's presence, soon forget their existence entirely for as long as the occupant remains upon the futon. If questioned or somehow reminded about the futon's occupant, a creature will simply dismiss the matter in the simplest and most expedient way possible, usually suggesting that the futon's occupant is "away" or "asleep" if questioned and will thereafter forget the futon's occupant once more. Only creatures of 9 Hit Dice and above receive a Will save DC 18 to recall the futon or its occupant.
