Hunting strategies

Night hounds have a breath attack, and attack similarly to other hounds (casting a spell and following with an immediate attack). This breath attack causes a cloud to form in the air, which lingers and can cause damage over time for each round that a player stays in its vicinity. Casting Purify Air (207) on a character will negate the effects of this cloud.

Once killed, any active cloud created by a night hound will immediately dissipate harmlessly.

An example of a night hound's breath attack:

The shadowy cloud seeps languidly in your direction.
  CS: +72 - TD: +231 + CvA: -7 + d100: +71 == -95
  Warded off!
You breathe in some of the gas...

As your lungs fill with the dark cloudy substance, instantly your nervous system feels as though it was made of oil-soaked rags and touched with a match!

The sensation leaves you quickly, but leaves an aftertaste of pain throughout your nervous system.
  ... 10 points of damage!
