Don't we all hate those things?

Definitely follow what ccannon said, which is roughly what the rest of us with lighter weight spells do. I think the first time I ran into them, my toughest spell was either flamedrop or elemental blast (hadn't found the forum yet, so they were a TOTAL surprise -- in fact, the very first time I ran into them was at night and I thought the gasses were coming out of the ground because I couldn't see the plants), and I had to flame 'em, then backtrack out of sight, then barely see them and flame 'em again. I had the poor luck to end up luring them back to town accidentally, and it took twelve tries to get back out of town before finally a single character would survive the 100-meter-gas-dash past the plants to the Ruins, where one or two "restore life" (or whatever they're called) scrolls could be applied to the rest of the party.

So that's at least one "no cheating" version.
