I was traveling over the weekend, sorry, I should have posted earlier, but I was waiting to see the effect of the turning.First t thing in the morning, some 10 hours from now

 

[MetaVoid]

I trusst you

Myrral can fireball the area
Rules question: dissonant whispers say: ...melody that only one creature of your choice within range can hear

Does that mean I don't have to see the target, only to know to target her and if she can hear it she dies?

Alternative: faerie fire

Pretty sure she's gone ethereal. But it's worth a shot. Faerie fire will help against the ants too if they are in the area. So, even if it fails, it still helps against the swarm.

Psychic damage doesn't care about her physical state, it is just a question if she can hear Myrral

 

[TaranTheWanderer]

Sounds like a DM call. Only force damage goes through to the ethereal, if I remember correctly. But, if she can hear you AND you don't need to target her, then it could work! But if you aren't targeting her, how are you not accidently hitting someone else at random?

Edit: it does say a deafened creature is immune so it's definitely hearing.

edit 2:

You can see and hear the plane you originated from, but everything there looks gray, and you can’t see anything more than 60 feet away.

While on the Ethereal Plane, you can only affect and be affected by other creatures on that plane. Creatures that aren’t on the Ethereal Plane can’t perceive you and can’t interact with you, unless a special ability or magic has given them the ability to do so.

The rules say it is a special kind of save. I'd say yes.

Sorry, I misread the original post. I thought he asked if it was a CON save

 

[TaranTheWanderer]

There was the sound of hundreds of brass bells jingling and a night hag materialized south of the steel cage. She held a little horn to her lips and she blew a cloud of dust that filled that half of the room. Even Miss Imogen, who was up on the balcony, was surrounded in a fine particulate that smelled like ground cinnamon mixed with mildew.

OOC: Yes, a death save is a type of saving throw. Speaking of Saves - everyone other than poor Ussal & Weed needs to roll a dc15 WIS save or be charmed. This includes half of the Chwingas, I'm afraid. I'll give some thought to Myrral's attempt before I resolve it.

I have an important question: One of the Chwingas is hiding up near the door where we found the triangle key. Is that one affected by the charm? I'm curious because you said half the Chwingas and the one who is concentrating on Weed's spell is hiding there.

Also, on my turn, Qawasha gave a goodberry to a Chwinga to feed to Ussall, did the Chwinga do that yet or will that happen on my next turn?

Lastly, Qawasha made his save but 3 of the 4 Chwingas failed. (assuming I don't add proficiency to saves for monsters???) How does that work if the spell that summoned them gives him control over them? Should I roll an opposed charisma or persuasion against the Nighthag to see if they will still listen? Does it break the enchantment and they become free? Do we both get to tell them what to do??

Some good questions!

I have an important question: One of the Chwingas is hiding up near the door where we found the triangle key. Is that one affected by the charm? I'm curious because you said half the Chwingas and the one who is concentrating on Weed's spell is hiding there.

Let me look... no, her 60ft cone would not hit the door, so let's assume that Chwinga is out of the spell.

Also, on my turn, Qawasha gave a goodberry to a Chwinga to feed to Ussall, did the Chwinga do that yet or will that happen on my next turn?

That Chwinga probably hadn't made it to Ussal yet. Maybe that's the one that made its save? Roll 1d4. On a 4, the one with the Goodberry is the one that made its save.

Lastly, Qawasha made his save but 3 of the 4 Chwingas failed. (assuming I don't add proficiency to saves for monsters???)

No - that'll be a thing in 2024, but not with this version of the conjuring spell. OTOH, you'll definitely not get a small horde of fey, so...

How does that work if the spell that summoned them gives him control over them?

Her charm will usurp your spell's control.

Should I roll an opposed charisma or persuasion against the Nighthag to see if they will still listen? Does it break the enchantment and they become free? Do we both get to tell them what to do??

Nope. I'm afraid that her spell will take precedence.

random chance: 1D4 = [1] = 1 (no good berries for Ussall)

Also one attacked weed to try to wake him. Not sure if that can happen next round too. I'll roll a d3. On a 3, it's that one who is not charmed.
random chance: 1D3 = [2] = 2

So:
1 is visible - but hiding and concentrating on polymorph up by the door
3 by the cage (one of whom has a goodberry and the one ordered to wake Weed) are charmed (visible, talking to the dolls)
1 by the cage is not charmed.

3 more are on the other side of the room (invisible, searching and doing random stuff)

In general, I've been giving them two actions (instead of 8) assuming they're all helping each other carry out the orders and stuff.
