Ofalth - Putrid Stench

[rokeca]

I am a bit confused by the Ofalth’s Putrid Stench aura. It reads:

A creature entering the aura must succeed at a DC 28 Fortitude save or become sickened 1 until the end of its turn (plus slowed 1 for as long as it is sickened on a critical failure). While within the aura, an affected creature takes a –2 circumstance penalty to saves against disease and to recover from the sickened condition. A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune for 1 minute

Am I correct in assuming (unlike most situations with sickened) that the sickened/slowed condition from the aura ends when the turn of the creature that entered the aura ends? So very short duration and no retching required.

Also, the description says nothing about a creature needing to make a save vs sickened if it starts its turn in the aura – so does this mean that the sickened affect is triggered only when entering the aura?

You understand it right.
It's a bit uncommon the way it is written, but it looks like it's not supposed to be much of an impediment.

Thanks. A bit like entering the aura triggers the gag reflex, but then you're over it quickly. Much appreciated.
