Is this worth doing? I have tried it several times and can't seem to kill everyone without dying.

Yes, it is definitely worth the effort. Have you tried luring the creatures out one by one? The're much less difficult that way and if you're lucky, you can even quicksave when you've killed the first one, heal up and then lure the next one out.

It is very easy if you use scroll of protection from undead on some of your characters. You should also have the shield of balduran on one character.

What do you mean by, "...ue the rune?"? I don't get it? What rune?http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...s/confused.gif

Charlie 03-28-2001 04:04 PM

Isn't the Twisted Rune in the Bridge District? I kinda thought that you were "locked in" the room with the creatures thus preventing you from luring them out singularly.

charlie: that's right but if you position your party near the door you can use a stealthed thief or something to lure them out...the rset of em will be in the fog of war still. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Wow, it's still fresh in my mind from this afternoon,what a battle! With five in my team including my ranger Cleric whose racial enemy is Lich,we were pretty busy!,It took me about six attempts though.
I suggest turning off the script and nursing them through it bit by bit,i had my r/cleric cast silence'radius which didnt seem to work,Jahiera summoned some critters,and we hid away in the corner whilst trying to dispose of the Lich ,and Beholder and warrior guy.Powered up on spells and hasted/Vhailors helm,Horn of Valhalla,ring of the ram,we just anxiously sat through the two timestops hoping we'd all be there afterwards.Got there in the end.
....don't leave anyone with nothing to do.

BTW, What is a Magister?

Isn't a magister some sort of judge or adjudicator? Anyhow, the Beholder is easily beaten i fyou wear the Cloaf of Mirrors. Shandalor you have to hit fast and dispel his illusions as soon as they're cast. Kill him quick enough and his Imprisonment spell will not be cast in time

Strahd Von Zarovich 03-28-2001 07:48 PM

spoilers, (took me multiples tries)


I had the cloack of mirror on Jan , I had the time stop spell when The first three came I casted time stop just after Imoen casted the warding wip to remouve the protections from the lich, While time stoped Jan casted lower resistance X2 , Magic Missiles and Minsc and my hero where pummeling the lich, Jahera with the necklace of protection from negative energy was holding off the vampire, Jan slightly infront was bouncing of most hit from the beholder, The Human fighter I let him hit minsc, while Imoen Was helping Jahera taking care of the Vampire. Eventualy I killed the lich, then the beholder killed itself after I killed The vampire , Then that Human warrior, After I threw two death Fogs in the room and weakened the tow last apponent before killing them. I was A Thought Battle.

Tactic two (slightly cheat, It's hard to do but makes an easy kill)

Cast wand of Cloud kill 2 or 3 times (No magic resist) take a hasted strong caracter to the table, One the lights beging flashing run to the entrance, Wait until about there is 50 points of damage made to the Lich, Run back in it will talk to you, then run to the entrance, Use the ring of the ram to puch him back in the cloud, he dies then you can take on the rest one by one with only a slight effort, (Less effort if you lay traps.)

I did this quest just yesterday. Here is how I did it.

1. I put all of my NPC's right next to the door and armed them with missle weapons.

2. I sent out my PC wih boots of speed untill I saw the fire travel along the floor. He then ran back into the little room untill the centre of the table was just out of view.

3a). I then cast "Death Fog" as close as I could to the table. This brought the Lich's HP stats to badly indured.

b) (May not work).Cast a second "Death Fog" and let it do 8x4 HP damage, however this may cause moral failure and he wont talk to you.

4a) If you didn't cast the second death fog cast one in the room you are in but try to cast it far enough away not to affect your team but not to case the enemys that spawn to attack. Then walk into the room and talk to the Lich.

b) If you cast the second "Death Fog". Walk into the room and talk to the Lich.

5. The Lich will teleport into the small room. Get all your team team to attack the Lich he should die almost instantly.

6. Send a Fighter equpied with the "Sheild of Balduron" into the room. The Beholder and the Warrior guy will attack. Get the fighter to walk back into the room. The Beholder wont be able to hurt your fighter. Get every one else to attack the Warrior. The warrior should die from the barrage of missle weapons and the Beholder will kill its self.

7. Quick Save.

8.(I dont know what was with this Vamp but it had real high HP and I couldn't hit it with any weapons). Cast "Chaotic Command" and "Resist Fear" on the Fighter and send him to the lower part of te room. The Vampire should now attack. Bring you fighter back into the room. If your fighter has the "DayStar" sword like my one did wait for the Vampire get close and personal and cast "Sun Ray" and another char if possible to cast "False Dawn". This should bring the Vamps health to badly indured. Then cast 2 "Magic Missles" on it and 1 "Chain Lightning". I believe this should kill it.

9. I then sent out my PC Sorcerer with boots of speed. I cast "Ice Storm" to the Norh end of the room. This caused the Female Mage to attack. I ran back into the room and she cast time stop. However as she could see no other people she did not cast any spells. She then cast gate summoning a pit fiend. They brought each other to near death. However the Female Mage stoped attacking the Pit Fiend and attacked me. I cast 1 cone of cold and then a chromatic orb. I believe this killed her.

10. The Pit Fiend then attacked. I cast 1 "Magic Missle" on the Pit Fiend. This killed it.

This resulted in a nice cash reward, the Staff of Magi (a very good weapon), a Beholder Eye (needed to escape) and a very nice lot of experiance.

OK this requres a lot of luck and a team with all the equip and spells I mentioned here, but if you have these you should do OK against them.

Sorry, don't know much about the thread, but wanted to offer you the transparent GIF again, Lady Avalon. Missed you much. Haven't seen you since we switched forums. I sent an e-mail, but am putting it here as well.

That's the quest that you need a rogue stone to enter through, and the entrance is in a house at the Bridge District.

How did you ppl found out about the Twisted Rune place and the fact that a Rogue Stone is needed to open the doorway? Is it mentioned somewhere in the game?

I only found out about it by reading from bgdungeon's forum sometime ago http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

When you enter the portal, a "description" will say something like the rogue stone in your inventory is vibrating violently and when you enter the Runes, it is gone!! ARGH!!!!
Also, I am one of those ppl with the tendency to go through EVERY single doors in the game when I play it the first couple of times.

Yeah. I read about it, too! I did try all the doors bit without a Rogue Stone at the time, didn't know how to enter the building, so I looked it up
