My adventurers are about to enter the stronghold of a long-time nemesis that is heavily protected by unhallow. The question is:
Do spells such as aid or bane act on a caster level duration or are they constant while within the unhallowed area?
For example, an enemy minion enters the unhallowed region and gains the benefit of an aid spell. If he leaves the region does he retain the benefit of the aid attack and hit-point bonuses for the remaining duration of the unhallow caster or does it immediately fade?
Conversely, if the PCs are affected by bane within the unhallowed region and quickly defeat their enemies and leave, are they no longer baned or do they have to wait for the duration to expire.
Incidentally, this specific party is 12th-14th level and invading a cultist stronghold with lots of low-level cultists and witches. I took the liberty of stretching the rules to key a bestow curse to a witch-priestess's workshop so that the fighters don't splatter her during a surprise round. Should the curse be a permanent effect they have to remove or should it be a constant effect whenever they are within the unhallowed area but fades when they leave it?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Rez
