{{Creature end}}<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>Mists pirouette about the tattered hem of the mist-wreathed banshee's gown so that it is unclear where the garment ends and they begin. Though there are the remnants of loveliness to her visage, the banshee's cheeks are sunken and her eyes are empty chasms of shadow. Dark hair, wild and unkempt, swirls around her face as if constantly blown by a howling breeze. The banshee's form is barely substantial and light filters grimly through her.</pre><br />
<br />
[[Warrior_Tricks#Appraise|Appraisal]]:<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>The mist-wreathed banshee is medium in size and about five feet high in her current state.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
===Arrival===<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>Fog glides into the area on silent tendrils, faintly luminous as if suffused with moonglow. The mist writhes unnaturally, coalescing into the humanoid form of a woman clad in the shredded tatters of a gown. The banshee's eyes are empty pits, but they sweep the surroundings mournfully, leaking stygian tears.</pre><br />
<br />
==Hunting Strategies==<br />
===Web Break===<br />
Banshees are able to break free from [[Web (118)]] and take an action at the same time:<br />
<br />
<pre>The webbing enmeshing a flickering mist-wreathed banshee collapses inward as her phantasmal form collapses into mists and drifts free of the sticky cocoon before reforming into a humanoid shape.<br />
The webs dissolve from around a flickering mist-wreathed banshee.<br />
A flickering mist-wreathed banshee lifts a slender hand and points unerringly at you!<br />
A flickering mist-wreathed banshee hurls a ball of greenish-black flame at you!<br />
AS: +430 vs DS: +591 with AvD: +12 + d100 roll: +35 = -114<br />
A clean miss.</pre><br />
<br />
This means that timing the web and swift action must be used for it to be effective.<br />
<br />
==Other Information==<br />
===Mist Attack===<br />
Banshees have a unique single-target SMR attack that deals [[Cold critical table|Cold]] damage:<br />
<pre>A flickering mist-wreathed banshee raises her arms overhead, her frayed garments and wild locks whipping in a ghostly breeze as waves of mist rise around her. The fog crashes outward in an inexorable tide, aglow with silvery radiance.<br />
[SMR result: 150 (Open d100: 67, Bonus: 51)]<br />
Cold mist engulfs you, brutally leaching strength from your limbs as all around you vanishes in occluding fog!<br />
Your grass anklet pulses briefly, deflecting some of the freezing damage! The anklet glints one last time, then grows dim.<br />
... 8 points of damage!<br />
A chilly blast strikes you in the chest, knocking you back a step.</pre><br />
<br />
This ability can make you wander to a different room in the area:<br />
<pre>Blinded by the mists, you stumble around until you are free from the bank of fog!<br />
[Moonsedge, Wildrose Court - 32410] (u4577010)<br />
Banks of wild rose framing the court have gone neglected long enough for them to overgrow their beds. Their petals are a crimson flood on the dark cobblestones. Beyond the boundaries of the courtyard, down long paths that wind beneath thornwood trees, are spacious homes of shadowy stone. They look abandoned and their yards have fallen into ruin and overgrowth.<br />
Obvious paths: northeast, east</pre><br />
<br />
===Curse===<br />
Banshees cast [[Curse]], usually of the itch variety. This causes several cycles of RT and can make you drop held items including armaments. [[Remove Curse (315)]] can remove it, otherwise it's best to move to a safe area then stow your held items.<br />
