With long experience, Sylvie continues to serve patrons, giving a friendly smile, clearing tables, and dodging the occasional grope. Tavern work is hard and exhausting but filling peoples bellies fills her heart.

Still alert due to the use of magic to flavor her water, Princess Ithrilliel notices Murph pointing off stage and looks in that direction just in time to see the use of a pendant as they leave. followed by an irritating drone.
Arcana to see if this seems like a spell effect. 13
The Princess does find some parallels with some effects she has heard more experienced sorcerers are able to produce; -- though she doesn't recall any of these using a material component ... much less a completely gauche and tasteless PENDANT like that one w ---
Good Gods, did that human fellow have to GUZZLE his beer so loudly right in her ear? What was he doing sitting so close to her anyway ... ? In fact, all these louts were pressing upon her personal space in FAR too free a manner -- but especially HIM! The buzzing seems like the kind that very slowly, maddeningly gets louder, but if she just had some SPACE ...
please make an INT saving throw to avoid being affected by a modified form of enemies abound with the following tweaks ... it WILL work on those immune to magical fear, and it incites a particular dislike of one individual in the vicinity ... if no one in particular draws the target's negative attention, then this individual is chosen randomly
As Clether finishes his tune, he makes a sweeping bow from atop the bar, flashing a winning smile in turn to every person applauding. This takes him a few moments, since a lot of people were applauding or otherwise appreciative. "Thank you, good folk! What a treat to liven the blood after that rain! Would you like another?" As he goes to put his pipes to his lips again, he sees the group of riverkin slipping furtively upstairs. He flicks one large ear towards them uneasily, but decides it's rather not his business, and lifts his pipes again. Only to pause once more at the odd buzzing... he looks around, blinking, trying to ascertain the source.
The buzzing seems to come from nowhere and everywhere. Clether isn't even sure if the humming isn't coming from his own head. Something that dwarf said as he was coming in ... the one back there on the other side of the well. They'd exchanged a few remarks as the goblin was shaking off the cold, and though it wasn't anything that could be proved the look and tone of the fellow as he looked at Clether 's pipes weren't exactly the most respectful ...
see above. In fact, a round of INT saves for all! Anyone who has been imbibing anything intoxicating saves at disadvantage
================================================
AND my deepest apologies to all for the long delay. As of the moment I have no internet connection of my own, and the local market I usually use for a signal has closed their cafe for repairs, so have only been able to do brief checkins until now. I'm looking to get my internet back next month sometime so I hope this will not be an issue in future.

After a few moments spent mentally shaking himself by the shoulders, Murf is able to rise above the influence of the insidious drone. It fades back to a half-heard whisper that blends into the background but no longer seems as compelling as it had. In fact, he's not quite sure WHY it had been so compelling in the first place.
Clether, on the other hand, is NOT able to shake off the influence of suspicion the strange noise had on him. Far from helping, the obvious clue of seeing a medallion-wielding figure so shortly before these feelings began to overwhelm him only serves to strengthen them.

That damned dwarf. Maybe he hadn't said it out loud, but for some reason he'd taken an instant dislike to Clether on first sight ... and more particularly, his pipes.. Now that stung, Everyone ELSE here seemed to like his pipes ... unless they were faking it. Could well be -- maybe he should be grateful to the bloody redbeard, at least he was honest about it.

Clether frowns stormily and stuffs his pipes back into his bag before hopping down from the bar and marching up to the red-bearded dwarf, his green face darkened with anger. "You think pipes aren't serious instruments? You should have seen me in my younger days when I could keep thirty mining dwarves dancing in their iron boots for days until they slept for seven, and then we made off with all their gems!"
Murph tries to find the source of the compulsive magic.
Perception: 9 rolled in game log (Passive 14)
While he can't currently see any individual or lingering presence that might be doing this (the logged 9) Murph really, REALLY suspects that shadowy figure that just slipped away from the riverkin. Replaying the whole scene in his mind's eye (the passive 14) he doesn't remember anyone else in the room doing anything that could possibly account for such an effect as he is feeling now. And glancing over at the elven princess who'd been trying to recruit them for ... something or other ... so recently, he noted curiously that the effect seemed to be spreading.
2 shock + 2 for the punch if a 17 hits. Thankfully a low damage roll.
(Clearly, trying to analyze the spell with 'Arcana does not imporve the save. But does she get another save now?)
(Yes, I'd say that once anyone throws a punch or does something else which would normally be out of chatacter for them given the amount of provocation they can roll another save; and if they succeed they can make a smarts roll - i.e. basic INT save - to connect their sudden anger with whatever they may have observed of the concealed figure)

18 in game log for Int (Smarts) roll.
"Oh Dear!" She exclaims in surprise.after making her save. "I'm very sorry sir. I don't know what came over me."
She turns to glare at the suspected cause. "But I have a suspect!"
(What can she tell with the 18 Smarts roll?)
