Smogg
More than one: SmoggsWhat is known
A hanging bank of foul air with something like intent in it. Much of what it does is not a blow at all. It is the air going out of a man.

How to read these
- HIT POINTS
- How much damage it takes to put one down. Each one gets its own number from the range at random, so two of a kind are rarely the same.
- DAMAGE PER HIT
- How deep a landed blow cuts. Every hit takes a new number at random, from one up to the top of the range.
- HOW IT REACHES YOU
- Most kinds have to close on you before they can strike. One that throws reaches you from where it stands and hits harder once you close on it. An ethereal one also strikes without closing, and there is nothing you can do about that.
- SKILL AT HITTING
- How often its blows land. It is weighed against your protection, and this run's setting is already in it.
- DEFENSE
- How hard it is to hit. Every point takes five percent off your chance, the same five an attack bonus puts back.
- ACTIONS PER ROUND
- How many times it moves or strikes before the round is over.
- CLOSES ON YOU
- How often it spends an action coming at you rather than standing where it is.
- TAKES A BRIBE
- How often gold turns it away. A refused offer costs you the try.
- SHRUGS OFF MAGIC
- How often a spell aimed at it simply fails.
- KILLING ONE PAYS
- The experience one death is worth. It climbs with how deep the kind is found and how hard it fights.
Special attack: SUFFOCATION
It closes over a mouth and smothers for up to six wounds. It comes on one attack in two. It has to be on you to do it.
- Chance
- 50% of its attacks
- Reach
