[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 2652848, member: 19130"] These can all be dispersed by a strong wind, actually. So yeah, they can leave the area, they just can't do it an have the same effects. And this one can be burned off, too, sans magic. "Unlike a [i]fog cloud[/i], the cloudkill moves away from you at 10 feet per round, rolling along the surface of the ground." They're literally rooted to the ground. Presumably if you chopped one off and carried the dead bit out of the area it would stick around, though. "As with a [I]cloudkill[/I] spell, the smoke moves away from you at 10 feet per round. Figure out the smoke’s new spread each round based on its new point of origin, which is 10 feet farther away from where you were when you cast the spell. By concentrating, you can make the cloud (actually its point of origin) move as much as 60 feet each round." Is a continuous conjuration, actually. I suspect that runoff and such (and the characters' wet clothing) does in fact leave the area. That just doesn't have any effect on the s[I]pell effect[/I], because it's being continuously replenished. Oh, another fog spell that can be moved out of its area by wind. It's anchored in place, unlike a [i]grease[/i] spell. Though, again, I see no reason why the webs couldn't be taken out of the area, they just wouldn't be able to effectively hinder you when separated from the main mass. So I'd actually say that my point, which was that conjuration spells generate a real stuff that can be expected to have real-stuff-like effects - like a layer of grease being churned into hard-to-manage goop by a swarm - is supported by these cases. Presumably plenty of grease leaves the spell area after it's cast, just not enough to generate the [i]grease[/i] spell's effect. I don't see why the grease wouldn't act like grease (get smeared all over the place and making everything slippery, including making more than just one doesn't-actually-exist-as-a-defined-unit "bottom row of centipedes" so) as long as the swarm is in the spell's area of effect.
