[[Grasp of the Grave (709)]] is useful for keeping the Ilvari knocked down, which prevents them from disappearing and pranking you. You should put danger colors on the writhing [[dreamvine]]s, their knock down will keep stacking more RT. The Ilvari will cast dispel, and can block magic. Watch out for your runestaff or weapon being turned into a banana, you will have to "open" the banana incurring several seconds of RT. Keep your containers closed or they will fill them with heavy stones to weigh you down. There are a variety of ways to have your stance forced down or made prone to attack. |

This smallish humanoid sports a pair of expressive sparkling eyes, lightly tanned skin, and a wide grin from ear to ear. Cute is too kind of a word for this caricature of elven descent. A faintly shimmering golden aura surrounds him.
Hunting strategies
Grasp of the Grave (709) is useful for keeping the Ilvari knocked down, which prevents them from disappearing and pranking you. You should put danger colors on the writhing dreamvines, their knock down will keep stacking more RT. The Ilvari will cast dispel, and can block magic. Watch out for your runestaff or weapon being turned into a banana, you will have to "open" the banana incurring several seconds of RT. Keep your containers closed or they will fill them with heavy stones to weigh you down. There are a variety of ways to have your stance forced down or made prone to attack.
The pranks only happen if there is an invisible pixie in the room. It is best to knock them out of invisibility if possible, because they can cast Major Elemental Wave (435) from that position. Their Arcane Barrier (1720) blocks all low level attack spells when it is up, while their bark skin will absorb direct casts for some number of hits before crumbling. The two in combination can be a significant mana drain without doing damages.
