Not exactly the reaction I was hoping for.

Is our cleric getting close to having tongues prepared yet?
"Of course," Benn mutters, "It would be a damned shame if we ever knew what the hell was actually going on."

Yes, if he is preparing that or something similar.

Oh, and as far as the reaction goes, I read the 'menacingly' bit as an Intimidation skill check.

If you are trying to manipulate the green men into doing something else (not just backing off), let's see a Bluff check.

I kind of wanted to gauge their reaction to seeing it (IE prostration, fear, cheering/celebration, etc.)

Seems like caution or fear. Not terror or panic.

Clive will be close at hand, should something go awry he step and make quick of the plant monsters.

until he gives the other party members the room to do as think it is best.
History prefers legends to men. It prefers nobility to brutality, soaring speeches to quiet deeds. History remembers the battle and forgets the blood. What ever history remembers of me if it remembers me at all, it shall only be the fraction of the truth.

Sorry, tongues is beyond my power. The best I can do is comprehend languages, which will let me understand them, but not make us understood.
Since plant type creatures are immune to mind-affecting abilities, does that mean a lesser telepathic bond cannot be forged with a willing one?
We need a druid or ranger who can speak with plants.

Telepathy will likely not work on their alien minds.

Comprehend languages worked to translate the answers earlier, when the party used speak with dead.

Ah.

Well, I have comprehend languages on a scroll as well. I just hadn't cast it for the aforementioned reasons.

Is there a way in canon that this could have been conveyed to me, Ewan, so it would make sense for Benn to cast it on himself?

Yes.
Feel free to cast it now if it is in his spells per day, or would have been had the aforementioned detail been clear to you as a player.
It would have been clear to Benn.

I don't consider this an unreasonable retcon. Sometimes in PBP, things get muddled for a player in a way that would have been cleared up right off in table play.

I will proceed with a scene update on the assumption that Benn has cast the spell on himself.

(Wolfglide may still want it prepped if you need it again later).

NOTICE



Okay guys, let me know when you are all caught up on the IC thread.
I want to avoid railroading, so please give me some idea what your respective PCs intend to do next.

That will help me set up the next scene.
