Fail: Humanoid frightened 1 min. Humanoid can re-save at end of each of its turns with disadvantage if dubius is within line of sight success ends effect on itself. Once saved/effect ends for it immune to dubius's Memory of Shame next 24 hrs. Unless surprised Humanoid can avert its eyes to avoid save at start of its turn. If it does so it can't see dubius until start of its next turn when it can avert again. If it looks at dubius in meantime must immediately save.
