What would Knowledge checks say about the current situation? can a vampire in mist form be harmed in some capacity via magic or something like that?

I realize this is bleeding mechanical stuff everywhere but I assume this would be relatively common knowledge of how to approach.

[Anastasia]

As the last cloud of mist reformed into Learner, it's not relevant.

[Nephrite]

Nope, just a blind person.

Xandra will fire off another Sandalphon's Unerring Projectile, because it's hilariously the most useful thing she can do right now.

[23:04] <Nephrite> roll 1d3+30+18

Jetina... actually has no one to heal, hm.

She'll just be rude and throw another Superb Dispel then. How many rolls this time?

[Anastasia]

7.

[Anastasia]

Magic shatters around him once more, as an Unerring Projectile smacks him in the side. The vampire stumbles back, a tight grimace at this. His eyes dart about as...

Moore.

[Nephrite]

"I'll make you one offer, Learner." Moore says. "Surrender, and I will guarantee your complete safety. If you choose to not accept this offer, then you will be destroyed, here and now, for all of eternity."

He may as well try!!!

[Anastasia]

Gimme Intimidate here, just for my own reference.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 85. He's not as scary as he is diplomatic.

[Anastasia]

Learner smiles. It's not a kind look, "Come then and try to make your words reality," he invites.

[Nephrite]

Moore sighs. "It's never easy with you types."

He nods to Cresiel and gestures at Kaja. "Try and not kill him if you can help it."

I think Cresiel is free to go be on the offensive. Moore will hold in case if some shenanigans.

[Nephrite]

Also, does Moore need a K check here to determine what would likely happen if Learner dies? He's not sure if he just dies dies or reforms somewhere, or something unique to vampires, or what.

[Anastasia]

Sure, K:R.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 98, in that case.

[Anastasia]

When slain, a vampire turns to mist and has one hour to reach its coffin. If it does so, it can heal and reform in time. If it does not, the vampire dies. The power and potency of his blood probably loosens those limitations at the least - you recall hearing talk of up to 24 hours to reach the coffin, so long as they avoid sunlight.

Of course, being this tier of vampire and an archmage aside, you can safely assume it's quite likely he has a more robust survival system than that. Be it from his vampire powers, his magic or some other factor.
