I hate trying to account for that sort of thing because it's so nebulous.  No that's not quite the right way to say it. Upping the DC by 2 is what accounts for the possibility the ettin knows about the spell, instinctively senses its danger or is otherwise influenced by the spell's presence.Quite simply, the spell is part of the scenario, intrinsic to the scenario even (it's the whole reason you want the ettin to move, after all), and so its presence should be accounted for regardless of the ettin's knowledge of the spell. +2 to the DC is significant enough without shutting down the player's chances.</blockquote>
