I half-expected the trap, but prepped for Throkman, hence me removing the blue cap, which had -10 mental. I could have enlivened resolve (-19 mental) or savage instincts (sleep immunity) but went with resilience of hyena. Again, was thinking, worst case its a trap I'll just deafen -- bad thinking.

--Soon as you saw her standing at your pit, after recalling, you should have moved away instead of shifting into form. Being in form might have made the fiend worse too, since forms usually have crappy intelligence.

I did c word; shapeshift howler -- wanted to be ready to deafen, and wasn't worried about being slept - what could a bard do to me - i'll deafen them!

Yeah, that would have been smart, oh well

-- Here you should probably have reverted, fled, teleported (using a potion if you didn't have the spell perfected), then tried to re-up resist mental (since Audrelle would -- have dispelled it if you'd had it up initially) and shifted back into form to fight the fiend.

Yeah, I was thinking at first I could still deafen her, deal with the fiend, and smash her down. That quickly proved not the case, fear song was good tactic and made it hard to redirect.

-- Also- after this, I would have sicced the entire Fortress on Audrelle.

Hah, turned out she was already on all their shit lists. I wasn't in fort yet, so couldn't CB about her before I went (or for help).
