Mann swats at the mist with a stick, looking about for a relatively safe path out, while Blest shifted into a dusky mephit, the better to explore the smoke with, and commenced poking his nose into everything.

Sev watches the mist grab for the casters with apprehension. "Creepy smoke, huh? Y'know, I'm starting to think that breathing this stuff might not be the best thing we've ever done."

Paaras watches this, then summons his mind blade again to see if the mist reacts to the psychic energy.

The mind blade seems to warp slightly, then snaps back to its natural state as the mist reaches towards it.

"Do you still have those masks, Gnome? Now might be a good time to put them to use." Kanatash informs with the small spellcaster while he readies his sword for any possible enemies.

Sev takes a moment to focus his own mental energies before the last comment catches his attention. "Oh, we have proper masks? Guess we won't be needing the clothes off that corpse, then."

Though the fog bears sinister chills, it's nature is a practical one. The mist exists to reconstruct the damage dealt to the manifest zone. Spells and other magical effects attract its attention.

Despite how it may sound, it does bring a threat with it: Casting spells can bring about unnatural happenstances, so its best to show some digression when flinging them around.



Mechanical: The mist is indeed a Lingering Evil (BoVD). However, it's mixed with the manifest zone's power to produce a near-demigod-level Living Spell that reacts to magical effects. Certain spell descriptors have a percentage chance of bringing unnatural creatures into existence (it acts as a Summon Monster or Summon Nature's Ally spell, but the creatures summoned gain the Psuedonatural template from CArc). Trial and error is the only method of discerning what triggers it.

It lacks sentience or intention; the creatures summoned act on their own accord, independent of the caster who's spell triggered the effect or the Living Spell itself. In a way, the fog is a living creature that projects a Wild Magic effect into the area around it.

Currently, Transmutation and Abjuration spells have yet to trigger it (Greater Magic Weapon/Fang, Anticipate Teleportation). Same goes for the Mind Blade. They draw it's attention but no effects have triggered, so either they don't trigger the ability or you guys got lucky.

"Hmm, the mist reacts to magic, but of which School..perhaps if conjuration or necromancy was attempted..."
Mann glances around at the others, "Or, maybe we should get out of here before messing with it. Or before it messes with us."
Letting Blest scout ahead as a mephit of smoke, Mann awaited his familiar's indication of a reasonably safe exit route.

The familiar flies towards the southwest, keeping an eye on the party and alerting you via empathetic link if danger comes near.



Those interested in finding loot can make Search checks. If you just want to skip to the first encounter, let me know and I'll post the combat thread.

"Looks like that way's alright." Mann walks towards his familiar, not intending to remain here longer than necessary.

"Uh, yeah, let's not try to provoke the malevolent fog." Sev trots off after Mann, taking a position slightly behind and to one side of him.

"Yes, there's no need to linger here any longer than necessary." Kanatash nods as he follows his fellow survivors, taking a position slightly behind Mann and next to Sev.

Wehn the gnome catches up witht he rest of the group, he is already wearing a filter mask, mysteriously produced from some pouch on his body. He is holding four more in his hand, but he seems to make no effort to give any of them to anyone else until asked for them. Come down. Scout ahead. The small dragon grumbingly complies, swooping down uncomfortably close to Kanatash's head and flies some sixty feet ahead of the party.

[spoiler]Gnome tells his familiar to scout ahead while remaining within telepathy range. Same deal as before - he'll keep making perception checks and noting the type and Int of any creature he senses, and of course, relay all info back to the gnome.[/spoiler]

"Thank you." Kanatash grimly says as he takes one of the masks from the gnome and puts it on (the mask, not the gnome :P).

Sev takes the mask and wraps it around the lower half of his face. As he does so, his hat and clothes briefly shimmer and reform into a set of hooded robes that match the mask's cloth, giving the kalashtar an oddly nomadic appearance. A twitch of the mask is the only sign of his characteristic smirk as he raises the hood. "Shame there's no sand around here. I'd fit right in."
