>Derrick: You and Lucia can use your gloves to make a hole and then flip Miander into it. Then you could take a safe distance and start using ranged attacks without fear of reprisal. If that doesn't work stun Miander and go for the eyes and other disabling spots. Also, you should say hi to Ahn and her new associate once you have a moment. It pays to be polite.

The hole idea, the disabling spots idea, and saying hi I second. But those eyes do not look like weak spots. The entire face is armor; all Miander has to do is close its eyes. Though perhaps lightning could be fast enough. Anyway, I'd say all five extremities count as weak spots we can attempt to cripple or better yet sever. The long balance-tail is especially attractive (but remember it is also a weapon).

I wonder if the water can be used for ice. Certainly steam or boiling water in combination with fire, but could the fire magic be used to extract the heat from the water (assuming the water magic can't do ice by itself)?

...Wait. This guy's shields/weapons are made of stone. He is partially encrusted with stone. Between wind, water, and earth magic...
>Erode

Oh, better idea. The eyes may be well defended, but that doesn't mean we can't cover them with something opaque. I'm thinking ice, earth, fire, or (if we can swing it) lava to the face mask.

Also, Miander is obviously shadow and earth/rock/stone/something types.
>Emily: Purify Derrick and Lucia's gloves and weapons.

Ugh. Looks like Miander can bang his arm slabs and tail hammer together. Also he has lights along the side of his tail; not sure what that means. Where do we want the reapers?

Don't forget Ira.

Edit:
"Miander: Your death will give life. It is a fair trade."
Did we all somehow miss that this is anything but a fair trade? One side loses something for no gain and the other side gains something for no loss.
>Emily or one of the reapers: Point out that death for life is a one-way exchange and therefore not a trade, let alone a fair trade as Miander claimed.
