Message: <blockquote data-quote="Foxworthy" data-source="post: 4826555" data-attributes="member: 80704">I read that line as the OP stating the intent of why they opened the casket, not that they actually attempted that. If they did then the image disappears and they know it was fake. See below on the reason why I feel that a vampire can't direct the image to react. In order for it to be directed by the caster the caster needs to be able to see what the illusion is reacting to. Which means at least line of sight. Which would generally mean that if it can see the coffin and the characters, they can see the vampire as well. And seeing the gaseous form would be proof that the image is an illusion. As they didn't mention seeing the gaseous form when they opened the casket I was lead to believe the vampire wasn't around. Also since the vampire was forced into gaseous form through damage all it can do is return to it's coffin and heal. So if that was it's coffin then it would have reformed to rest. If it wasn't it's coffin it wouldn't have been around to control the figment since it has to head to it's coffin.I see no reason to believe that the vampire was around to control the image.Never said to turn their brain off. I merely said they shouldn't roleplay acting like something is a miss when the characters don't believe anything to be amiss. They would have been full in their right to move the casket and break it apart looking for the missing kama. Or other actions that could prove that it's an illusion by doing things other than directly trying to diprove.</blockquote>
