Failure: The target rolls 1d8 to determine what it does during the current turn: - 1-4: The target does nothing. - 5-6: The target takes no action or Bonus Action and uses all its movement to move in a random direction. - 7-8: The target makes a melee attack against a randomly determined creature within its reach or does nothing if it can't make such an attack.
