I. The Second Wave
When the Chaos minion summons the fog, the enemy will know that the four have failed. It will then begin forming a small army of Shadow Elementals to stop the party.
At first, this will be seen by the party as the fog getting denser. However, the fog radiates a weak magic (not obvious, but will show up with a Detect Magic). Also, if the party picks up camp to move, the fog will follow!
Throughout the whole day of the 11th, the fog will grow progressively denser. By sunset, visibility will be down to a few feet. Finally, at 20:17, it will coalesce into a group of Elementals and attack. Unlike the Chaos Minions, these critters do not have a goal of stealing Kesi's staff. They are far too stupid to pull off something like that.
There are 20 in all: 2 Huge, 4 Large, 6 Medium, and 8 Small. They will appear, though, over a large area - a circle 200' in radius centered on the party. However, they will be scattered randomly - so the threat to the party is uncertain. Also remember that it is night - so the party will be obligated to provide illumination if they intend to see clearly.
