I need advise. My dad has diabetes and recently had a collapse. He refused to go to the emergency room. This happened on a Friday and I was working at the time. I could not leave and my mom couldn't convince my dad to go to the hospital. Every time I call my dad he complain about my mom and his lot in life.

Unfortunately due to diabetes he is mostly blind, he still can see out of one eye although some days are better then others. He doesn't take care of himself, he still drinks alcohol which that can't be good for your blood sugar and skips meal then over eats later. I have tried talking to him multiple times but he doesn't listen.

Got off work Friday and had a Saturday off, unfortunately I could not work it over time because they cut my hours and expect me to work harder during my regular shift. So I turn off my cell phone and just tried to enjoy the day. Sunday my sister calls me and straight up start yell at me to drive an hour to my folks house and take my Dad to the emergency room when he doesn't want to go and also seem to have recovered he didn't sound as exhausted like he did before, but he did pass out on Saturday.

Sunday is my recovery day for work, I have to maintain a certain amount of physical activity so that I can be prepare to work for the next week. I told my sister that I wouldn't drive the hour to take my dad to hospital and she just kept scream at me that I didn't know what I was taking about and he need to go. I don't know if I was right or wrong to say no.

However, I don't want to alienate my sister, but she just kept screaming at me to take my dad to the hospital so I told her I love her and hung up. She call back later did the same thing, and I told her to please not to call back if she was going to continue to do this. Not sure where to go from here, I love my sister, but I feel like she was asking too much.

FYI I love my dad too, but he is so stubborn I felt like I was wasting my time, especially since it was two days later and he spent the morning practically shouting at me about how my mom is mistreating him, when she does a ton to help him.

Maybe I'm a terrible person, but I could use some advise, thank you for reading.

I recently encounter a Ghost Elf character, we just started book 4 Age of Ashes and it was requiring a diplomacy check to ask her how to be released. Well, because no one in our party had high enough diplomacy to get her to answer how to do it, so we decide to leave the area.

After having a chance to think about it, I realized that she would probably be consider undead and the Cleric I play as could most likely 'Heal' her to free her soul. So I want to return to the Jewel Gate Way-station, to see if I'm right.

The Ghost Elf is not attacking us, she seem to have a memory issue when we ask her questions.

Honestly, I'm not even sure this is an encounter, and I don't want to cheat, but I would like to save her. So I was thinking about asking her a couple of questions to get close to her, and then casting touch range heal on her.

If this is an encounter, I know we would roll for initiative with stealth or deception for a surprise attack https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=2541 but I'm casting a healing spell to exercise her spirit, so that doesn't seem right...

Curious on your thoughts, I'm okay with minor spoilers, just don't tell me what the Ghost Elf can do if it is an encounter, and what you think I should be rolling for to cast a heal spell as a surprise action. Thanks you.

Roaring Applause [two-actions] Spell 3 Traditions arcane, divine, occult

Deity Marishi

Cast [two-actions] somatic, verbal

Range 60 feet; Targets 1 creature

Saving Throw Will; Duration sustained

Your flamboyant flourish invokes such powerful feelings in your audience that you incite cheers and applause. Targets of this spell must be able to see, hear, or otherwise understand you. The targets must attempt a Will save.

Critical Success The target is unaffected.

Success The target becomes mildly distracted by your display and applauds while it isn't fully occupied. It can't use reactions.

Failure The target applauds you so vigorously that it can't use reactions and is slowed 1. The applause is so involved that it has the manipulate trait. This triggers reactions based on the manipulate trait at the start of the target's turn.

Critical Failure As failure, plus the target is so distracted by its vigorous applauding of you that it's fascinated with you.

Heightened (6th) You can target up to 10 creatures.

My question is how does sustained the spell work for Roaring Applause? Let say that the creature targeted by the spell, rolls a failure on there Will Save.

When you sustain the spell, does the creature get to roll a Will Save again? Or are they stuck with being slow 1 and can't use reactions as long as you continue to sustain the spell?
