Can we use fire or acid to melt bottles closed?

You don't have any acid.  Fire could work, but your access to fire is Willis' high-powered explosion spells.  Not exactly the best for controllably melting the glass.  You could try using a campfire, but it wouldn't be the easiest thing to do.. there'd be a chance of either destroying the mist or letting it go.  You had some bombs, but nope, those seem to have been left with Uncle and Alice.

..Still, melting it a bit around the stone seems somewhat more viable.  Maybe it'll work?  Assuming the heat just doesn't kill the mist in itself.

Maybe you can ask Uncle to drop something to you?

(Attempt to destroy the mist votes are 2-1.)

Willis hits the mist with another spell.  Sessha throws more daggers.  Trence reverts, but he doesn't have any ranged attacks.  Willis goes to using his bow, and the much ignored frost arrows actually seem to do something!

Overall, the mist seems immune or virtually immune to physical damage, but elemental damage seems to hurt it.  Sessha's poison knives do seem to do something, but it isn't as effective as you would expect stacking infinite poison on one creature would be.  All the while, the mist recedes, recedes more, and roils and screeches.

After a few minutes of firing frost arrows into the thing, the diminished mist lurches and starts heading towards you, rapidly climbing the cave wall.  You have a moment to do something before the encounter starts.

Due to the nature of the area, Running is not possible.

I think we should give Willis a mana potion so he can try to nuke the mist before it gets to us.

[Devastator]

Okay.  Anyone else do any casting?  Sessha does have Armour One.  And Trence isn't in dragonform.

[NJW2000]

We shouldn't need the mana potion, I think. Or if we do, might want to use it a bit later with battle aura up. Unclear how deadly a DPS race this will be.

Trence: Maximum Ice + Water Dragon, Tidal Breath!
Willis: Ice Arrow!
Sessha: Armor One Willis

[Devastator]

Battle Aura is up.

[IronyOwl]

It'll probably be fine with Trence going dragon. And if it does go badly, Sessha can potion Willis while he chain-nukes.

Encounter Start!

Now facing Unknown Mist!  Willis fires one more frozen arrow into it.  Trence does not have sufficient MP to use Tidal Breath!  Sessha sets everyone up with Armour One.

...Oops. I mean, now we potion.


Sessha: Mana Potion Willis
Willis: Fireworks!
Trence: Tidal Breath!

[Devastator]

Sessha uses a mana potion on Willis!  Everyone's MP is maxed out!

Willis casts Fireworks!  Bolts of fire streak out into the mist, the light from explosions hitting deep inside the cloud.  It shudders, but it remains impossible to tell the overall amount of damage!

Trence uses Tidal Breath, following the explosions up with a wave of deadly freezing water.  It tears through, rending temporary craters in the cloud, but the depths of the mist remain unknown.

The cloud reaches the party and engulfs them!  Or most of them.  Trence thinks his tail pokes out of the cloud, mostly due to it not being in pain.

The party is torn into by the odd effect of the mist.  Armour is ignored, but defense buffs like the yellow aura from ArmourOne seems to help!

Everyone takes 20 damage!  Ten of it is semi-permanent.

Sessha Uses Trick Shot!  Oddly, the swarm can be hit critically.  Unfortunately, being a swarm and being immune to physical, the knives are only able to remove a tiny bit of the mist.

The mist surrounding the party surges again.  Everyone takes 18 damage from the burning / tearing mist, 9 of which is semi-permanent.
