In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 900):

"It shall be done, my friend."

Ales makes a few motions, utters some incantations, and the area begins to fill with mist.

 21:18, Today: Ales Konstantin rolled 10 using 3d6.  Mystic Mist (14).

"Are we going to camp here?, because the mist won't follow us.."

In reply to Iskander (msg # 902):

as the mist forms, frustrated stirges can be heard outside of it.

Ooc: Any way we can get a count on the stirges?

"If they do not tire of prey they cannot find after a time, we might step outside the mist, then back in, to bait them, or to feather them with arrows or toast them with magic.  I doubt this will require the rest of the day."

"We thin them out, considerably! We do a service."
Chye readies his naginata in two-handed sword grip.

Iskander draws his sai and sword.

In reply to Iskander (msg # 907):

"There may be another way to discourage them. Wasps, leave the mist and attack the stirges!"

Chye observes...

Iskander wonders if the wasps will be effective in killing the strix.

In reply to Iskander (msg # 910):

there might be half a dozen of the wretched things. a hex of wasps might take down one stirge

In reply to Stirge (msg # 911):

But in the cloud, we have time if they do not enter. Saishi will have both clouds of wasps attack with a veangence.

"As well, I can cast small fireballs or lighting without tiring.  Stirges are not large; one or two such missiles will likely destroy one.

"For that matter, I do not know that they would find me attractive, since my body fluids have only a passing resemblance to human blood."

He loosens his leather whip to trail from his right hand, then with a gesture and a word, a crackling ball of energy appears in his left.

[Private to GM: 18:43, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 6 using 3d6.  Lightning (1 FP - 1 skill discount, roll to cast, 15).]

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 913):

Saishi keeps the wasps at them...

Chou-Zhen steps out of the mist and looks for a strix to target, then starts aiming.
