[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7105388, member: 6801845"] At least it's not cake. Because we all know the cake is a lie. IMHO the only thing the rogue would know is that in #7 the room smells like beautiful, delicious pie that he cannot see. Unless the Invisible Stalker is tap dancing, it's quite possible the rogue doesn't know he's there. If the Stalker [I]is[/I] tap dancing I'd have to ask what kind? Irish Step Dancing? Clog Dancing? Flamenco? The possibilities aren't endless, but once you throw in that pie wildcard things just get crazy. There are all sorts of other factors at play as well. Did the invisible stalker get hungry and eat some of the pie? Is there a pile of crumbs at his feet in the outline of his footprints? What kind of monster would eat the pie that was clearly meant for the rogue? Is the stalker still shoving that delicious pie into his mouth making involuntary nom-nom noises? Does the pie disappear immediately once in it's mouth or are there bits of pie to taunt the rogue with swirling around being slowly digested? Obviously I'm having a hard time taking this thread seriously any more. Sorry. A real answer would be that anything invisible has to make noise, leave tracks, somehow interact with the environment to be noticed. If it's close enough you may sense it, if a creature has keen hearing it may even be able to hear a heart beating (assuming a quiet locale). So if it's standing right behind you looking over your shoulder you may notice it even if you do not know how you detected them. [/QUOTE]
