[color=bedded][i]Interacting with:[/i][/color] Le Miasma Rouge.[/indent][/center] What causes the rain to fall? For to fall from the skies is easy Any fool may plummet to his death, But to first fly high enough to fall, That is the difficulty is it not? As such the rain falls down and not up. For it is that path of least resistance. So too was the course of the mist. The creature observed neither completely there or not, immaterial almost to Thomas' earlier observations before being so rudely interrupted. It had chosen Sana over him, an interesting course of action as Thomas would have disagreed. Sana had more experience than Thomas, obviously and somehow would pull through. Thomas however had no feasible means of self-defense at such a close range as evidently by his cut. Of which, would need tending perhaps by their resident healer who Thomas may or may not have a thing for. Yet right now was no place to consider healing minor injuries and relationships. Now was a time to go defeat this thing, whatever it was. Thomas had three more spells. Another column of light as last time, a close-range burst, and finally his most impressive spell which would best be used in Moon-phase under the moonlight. However, the cost of doing so would be as Sana or any other spellcaster would be able to tell, quite dire. Yet could they harm a creature which was not completely corporeal? For knowledge was still power, and Thomas had no course of action but to attempt again to identify what sort of creature or magical entity was this. Surely something summoned or created. Thinking back to pick up his spellbook as the melody of Serenity resounded, again with the music. Too many bards made for a bad band, at least it was soothing sound to focus on devising a strategy to beat this adversity based on what the thing even was. Observations on the efforts and effects (if any) the other had would surely be better use to the group than to start casting more beams of light and engulf their would be attackers. Thomas really had to explain that he would not be able to be much use if everyone kept tight quarters around the targets...
