Tasha's hideous laughter and speak with dead

[Suzaku]

Question if a creature is slain while under effect hideous laughter does the imprint continue to laugh when you speak with the dead?

[Fax Celestis]

I. Um. No? Though it'd be entertaining.

[Closet_Skeleton]

No. I think the spell means that the departed spirits have to answer your questions truefully (trufflely? I can't spell).

[SpiderBrigade]

Well, I would say the imprint doesn't "stick," but if you somehow managed to get Speak With Dead cast while the original duration of Hideous Laughter was still running...then maybe.

[Misat]

No. I think the spell means that the departed spirits have to answer your questions truefully (trufflely? I can't spell).

Truthfully. Just had to say it, and I'm sure you'll smack your head.

[Mewtarthio]

Well, someone slain under the effects of Dominate Person won't still be under the enchanter's control if Speak with Dead is cast. Someone Polymorphed into a monkey changes back when slain. I'd guess that all magical effects are terminated with the death of the subject.

[Piedmon_Sama]

.....Oh snap.

I just ruled that it does.

Because the thought amuses me.

Because its mindaffecting and your soul doesn't have a mind. LOLz. You stop being a valid target when you die, duration ends.

[Suzaku]

The imprint is the last essence of your soul after you leave, so when your soul leaves the body it left behind an imprint of Hideous laughter effected mind. Shouldn't a poison or spell that effects the intelligence of a creature also leave behind an effected imprint?
