Quick Questions - Among the Gods, #3-08, SPOILERS

[My PFS Lavode De'Morcaine]

Getting ready to run this this afternoon.

Not sure I'm reading something correctly.

The trap in A. Bait and Pit
This coats the victim that falls into the pit with pheromone.

1) If the guy that triggers the trap has Feather Fall will he not hit hard enough to trigger the pheromones?

2) Will a simple prestidigitation clean off the pheromone?

3) If no one is affected by the pheromone, does the creature in B not attack at all or does it just not have a target to concentrate on?

Thanks for your help!

My own advice/opinions:

1. If you fall in, you still get pheromone'd.

2. Potentially. I'd either say "No", or if I'd allow it I wouldn't allow a PC to think to cast it unless someone identified the pheromone & it's probable reason for being in the trap. I'd call it a knowledge/nature check and probably set the DC to the same Disable Device DC for the trap. (in effect, allowing Know/Nature to be substituted for DD to "disarm" the effect of the trap).

At any rate, as a 0 level spell, the spell shouldn't do anything that regular cleaning couldn't do. If you're prepared to say that bathing and washing one's clothes won't remove the traces of the pheromone, then neither should the spell.

3) I'd say it just doesn't focus on someone in particular.

I would say:

1) The pit is only about 10 ft deep if I remember correctly, and Feather Fall makes you fall 60 ft a round. So, absolutely, the traps still burst.

2) I would say no, prestidigitation wouldn't work (because they would have to be really coated in it to get the attention of a predator like that), but if they wanted to spend thirty-fourty minutes washing it off, that would work.

3) I believe it's in the tactics that it focuses on one person if they were phereomone'd. If not, it still attacks.

Ok, that matches what I was thinking. Just wanted to make sure I had it down correctly.

We got snowed out last weekend, so I will probably get the opportunity to run it later this month or next.

A little bit of a thread necro here.

This scenario is fun, but boy is it long! Four combat encounters and two multi-part trap encounters makes it hard to run within five hours, much less four. None of them were marked optional, either.

My players made extensive use of illusions as decoys. It was amusing seeing

Spoiler:

the flesh golem fail its will save over and over against a minor image spell as it constantly bashed the illusion of a taldan knight which always seemed to be able to shrug off the damage, as the PCs pelted it with fire from afar.
