Strategy
Vaipur can attack twice in one round. It has some powerful attacks that can hurt a party after a round is over. It can charge the party and hit with consecutive damage. Infermost can hurt as well but can be offset by using Barrier and armor that decreases spell damage. But the thing that will be a godsend to a player is the fact that Vaipur will sometimes smile eerily at the party, wasting an attack.
As a wind monster, Vaipur has a high resistance to wind so don't bother with wind based attacks or spells. Instead, buff the party with Upper. Use Barrier if you have it and hack away. Make sure you have one party member that is using the Bless Staff to heal wounds every round to cut down on the chances that the Vaipur can kill one of them with its two attacks.
