Who knows? The incongruity might snap some of the others out of it.…
I was just thinking the same thing. XD If the wolf howling didn't do it, I bet Algy's shout would!

Hahahah! Nice roll!
Who knows... although I would rather have someone slapping the damn singer so she'll stop and break the enchantment than having our group suffering collateral damage.

hmmm... so to check a spell (im trying to see if im right) then this is the structure?
[1d20+2]= 16
[1d20+2]= 16
Or Algernon's overt friendliness might put the enchantress off her game: "Okaaay… did I charm him, or are these people genuinely that friendly, not a threat to me, possibly even allies?"
(Not betting on it, mind you… though on the other hand—and in the game he was originally created for—that has actually worked for him.)

Plus your level, and minus the level of the spell. The spell is level 0 in this case, so no subtraction there; just add your own level to the calculation.

lol im level zero atm so...

No, you're level one. You don't start at level zero. ^^
By the way: it wasn't specified whether or not the "everyone" who needed to make a save included Batos. I'm guessing not—for reasons based on player knowledge, not character knowledge—but it's possible he will. Probably should verify this with the GM, Keit.

It's d20 + INT or WIS mod (I don't know what is used by druids) + your level (which is 1 atm)
The challenge level is 12 + spell level. Light is a lvl 0 spell, I think, so, it's 12.
If you fail, you must make a saving throw to avoid damage. If you fail by 5 or more you must also make a save against corruption.

ah. jeez so many variables.
and Batos wasn't originally intended to snap everyone out of it. we could just say he reacted to the song as he is not an elf but when keit strengthened her spell link with him he snapped out of it.

okay. ima try this...
[1d20+3]= 15 Challenge: 12 =Win!
Ill also do a bad throw to practice...
[1d20+3]= 5 Challenge: 12 =Loss
So for save...is that just another try at the spell?
The saves for runaway and corruption are made against the same target number and with the same modifiers, yes.
Well, I think as long as the caster/spell is level 5 or lower, Baldy's fine.

k. then i guess i got that down pat.
Since the formation before splitting was THIS:
Sir Matthew … Algernon … Darin … Sir Cadell
Ankari … Rydh … Baldhart … Mauve … Aliron
Is it now THIS?:
Rydh … Algernon … … … … … Darin … Baldhart … Mauve
… … … Sir Matthew … … … … Sir Cadell
… … … … … … … … Keit / Batos
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Aliron / Ankari (near cage?)
Sir Matthew … Algernon … Darin … Sir Cadell
Ankari … Rydh … Baldhart … Mauve … Aliron
Is it now THIS?:
Rydh … Algernon … … … … … Darin … Baldhart … Mauve
… … … Sir Matthew … … … … Sir Cadell
… … … … … … … … Keit / Batos

I suspect that will depend on the effect of what we just saved against (or failed to). You called for a formation, Ireth seconded, so it's reasonable we might have assumed it; out of the people who've rolled saves so far only Algernon and Mauve blew them, so either they're where the formation would have put them or they never made it that far.
Assuming we went into formation, I would expect either you have Matthew and Algernon backwards (if the shield on the far end moves across to the second rank) or you have Darin and Cadell backwards (if we rotated each half of the line). Which doesn't actually matter a whole lot, other than that we can use this as the basis for a new established formation, in which case we should know what we're doing for the future.
Since "split" in the middle of a melee would imply that the center opens and moves backwards—which is certainly the fastest way to do it—then you have the left side correct but Sir Cadell should be anchoring the front corner of the right, with Darin in the second rank, opposite Algernon. Which may not be ideal for the present situation, but it's mechanically correct.
Of course, if the enchantment caught us before we could move into formation, our situation might be entirely different anyway.…

Yeah, Algernon would be closer to the corridor, based on movement, and also based on who I'd rather have hitting the enemy first. (Avg dmg = 9.5, and that's with a one-handed weapon! Yup, he's the guy.)
Fixed.
Also, there are others who blew the roll. Rydh has CHA as non-prime, and I suspect so does Aliron.
Only Baldy, Cadell and Keit succeeded as far as I know.

If 18 is the mark to hit, then Rydh passed.
Ah. Misread Aliron's post. My guess his is action's gonna get canceled, then. (As may Algernon's, but it was at least an appropriate reaction to a charm. If it's a sleep effect instead, then of course Algernon doesn't get to say "hello." Which will disappoint him.)
Rydh's may depend on the CR of the roll, but since I doubt it's a 0, then, yeah, if that's a non-prime for him he probably blew it too.
And whatever that answer is, Sir Matthew just went the same way.
At least we know CHA is a prime for Sir Matthew. And Ankari's an elf, so he has a good chance. Don't know if Darin's dwarven resistance to magic will apply in this case or not; even if it does, I figure he's still gonna need an awfully good roll.
Worst case—the three of you might have a lonely couple of rounds here, if this is something dangerous coming up the hall.…
