Jaware wonders aloud,
"Dogs? In here? They'll not be typical hounds, but some fiend no doubt." He plays with his arrows and prepares a shot for when the first 'dog' rounds the bend.
They howl again, and you feel panic settle into your bones.
All creatures within a 300-foot spread except evil outsiders must succeed at a DC 16 Will save or become panicked for 1d4 rounds. This is a sonic, mind-affecting fear effect. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected by the same hound's bay for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.
Note: Tabat has Aura of Courage: At 3rd level, a paladin is immune to fear (magical or otherwise). Each ally within 10 feet of her gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects. This ability functions only while the paladin is conscious, not if she is unconscious or dead.[ +- ] Panicked
A panicked creature must drop anything it holds and flee at top speed from the source of its fear, as well as any other dangers it encounters, along a random path. It can’t take any other actions. In addition, the creature takes a –2 penalty on all saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. If cornered, a panicked creature cowers and does not attack, typically using the total defense action in combat.
A panicked creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape.
