My point being that it may not realize that it’s even dying if we use poison gas.

@Nimda

Maybe? I don't know, we've never engaged it in combat. It was too dangerous.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Do you think it'll recognize the barrier’s there and try to leave? We need some info on this thing.

@Nimda

Animals ain't that dumb... So yeah it'll try to resist.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

We could try erecting a magic dome around the bear and filling it with toxic gas?

@Nimda

Could work. Though, knowing that bear itself is magically enhanced that dome better be real good.

Lily: We should glass the place!
-Too much collateral.

@Nimda

I agree with Gio on that one... Flames are a no go.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Lily: Looks like it's up ahead! And it's teeming with the black stuff!

@Nimda

*A low growl reverberates around the forest as you see it with your own eyes, a bear that has doubled in size covered in black growths*

How the hell are we going to take it down?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Lily: *Continues scanning, looking for traps*
-About how far away is it? I don’t want to run into any surprises.

@Nimda

We're almost there.

*As you scan you begin to see a large writhing mass of black, purple, and red coming from a single point of a bear shaped silhouette*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

That's why we need to come up with a strategy beforehand. And account for everything that could go wrong.

@Nimda

Well we're almost there anyway, let's continue up this path and see what we can see.

*I continue to walk towards the Bear's direction*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

...
*Raises an eyebrow and side-eyes Lily*
Lily: No, I can't do anything about it!
-But—
Lily: No!
-*Sighs*
Maybe we could blow up the cave system instead? Collapse it on top of the bear to kill it?

@Nimda

Might work. But if it doesn't we'll have to fight with whatever we have.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Yeah, I get what you mean now. We could try purifying and reversing the process.

@Nimda

If you or Lily can help with that it'd be great. But that still poses the problem of this black substance being everywhere. Just being near it makes me feel slightly weaker.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Soul, got it. Souls are something I know.

@Nimda

Sorry for my world those two are interchangeable. But you get what I mean? That bear's soul or spirit has been warped to the point where even its physical self has changed into something vile and contorted. It can be reversed, but it's dangerous and foolish.
