It advances and awaits your bidding. You can mentally impress on the animal a certain place well known to you or an obvious landmark. The directions must be simple, because the animal depends on your knowledge and can't find a destination on its own. You can attach some small item or note to the messenger. The animal then goes to the designated location and waits there until the duration of the spell expires, whereupon it resumes its normal activities. During this period of waiting, the messenger allows others to approach it and remove any scroll or item it carries. |
| - | + | Alternatively, you may provide the messenger a single creature whose description you provide. The messenger gains a general sense of direction towards the creature and travels that way immediately. A creature under the effects of ''nondetection'', ''misdirection'', or similar obfuscating magic confuses the creature, and it instead heads in a random direction. If the messenger never meets a creature that fits the description you describe before the spell wears off, it returns to its normal life: however, should it meet the creature you describe, it actively tries to get the creature's attention and then provide it any item it carries. | |
