thx

Hello Steve! Welcome to the Ironworks! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

When fighting mindflayers (illithid) use the fifth level priest spell "Chaotic Commands". This will portect you from their stunning attack, and makes the whole job a lot easier. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

With a coat resplendant in a golden sheen,
Swiftly hunting my tender love,
Stalks the regal, Feline Queen

Actually, you are in the wrong secret entrance of the sewers. If you keep walking around the top left, you will find another hidden entrance. Up there is where you will find the next step in the quest to find the actor.

Yoshimo should be in the copper coronet, quite near the "lower entrance". Illithids and their kin attack with psionics not magic so protection from magic spells are ineffective. Chaotic Commands is the best choice but watch the duration, you will need a few (Minor spoiler ahead).

In terms of equipment you might find clearing the illithids out to be worth your while.

If you mage is high enough level, you should also summon Invisible Stalkers. They are immune to the mind flayer's psionic attacks.
