The illusionist spell, wall of fog, can generate quite a large volume area of effect: 2" cube per level of the caster!
With indoor use in areas with typical 10' high ceilings, this spell can flood an entire dungeon level if cast by a mid-level illusionist, heavily impeding both normal vision and infravision.
Since it has a 3" casting range, it seems that a hidden illusionist (say in an adjacent room beyond a secret door), could cast this spell while both unseen and unheard?!
An illusionist accompanied by monsters who rely on smell rather than vision would make deadly adversaries! Providing that gust of wind or dispel magic is not used to counter...

The two greater wall of fog spells, solid fog and death fog, counter the gust of wind to a degree. Both appeared in UNEARTHED ARCANA (1985) but were from Gygax's SORCEROR'S SCROLL in DRAGON #66 (OCT 1982).

I was just picturing a cave with an angry bear enshrouded by an Illusionist's wall of fog - the bear has no penalties to hit, while all of the characters' vision and infravision effectively blinds them? -4 to hit for party members and they may errantly strike each other?
