In the Bridge District right next to the door where you found the body part for Kongaxx's body, there is another (trapped) door

You need a rouge stone to go through it

Inside you'll find the Twisted Rune (group of 'baddies') and the Staff of Magi

<font color="gold">One of the games toughest fights awaits you in there, a big party of different powerful creatures, led by Shangalar the Lich. ;)
You'll get lots of XP there, plus Staff of the Magi. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

It is the lady mage that has the staff of the magi...
she is difficult to beat as she has very powerful spells. she (i think) uses the GATE spell to call in a demon. so have protection from evil ready... [img]smile.gif[/img]

At sufficient lvl its actually pretty easy ...
It was over before i knew it .. heheh, i summoned a Planetar ...
and literally had to run to even get ONE blow off, this creature kills fast !

The sword a planetar has is a vorpal sword, meaning that all creatures must save vs. death ( IIRC) or otherwise be instantly killed. He killed the main and most powerfull mage in 2 blows .. he was misled, fireshielded, invisible and every other thinkable way of being protected. The planetar however, sees invisible creatures, struck him twice .. no damage, but the second time the mage failed his save, and his spirit flew away, through his stoneskinned body [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img]

HE then proceeded on killing all other enemies, leaving the female mage, who had the SotM to me .. after allready having killed the Pit Fiend offcourse ... she was trying to kill the planetar with all she had .. but a planetar is highly magic resistant, and immuned to most elemental attacks, plus he has good saves.

Heh, my only job as an immensly powerfull kensai/mage lvl 13/21 , was to cast breach once and strike her 3 times with Celestial Fury :D

I love those planetars, i usually gate on in, turn invisible ... and watch him toy with the cowles ... with both druid and Mage spells, he's incredible ( pwerfull mage with Insect plague, huge MR, great saves and lots of resistances [img]tongue.gif[/img]

well thanks for the information, but what it a Planetar? I assume it is a mage summoning spell but have never seen it, used it, or heard about it until just now.

"Summon Planetar" is only available if you have Throne of Bhaal.

Tuff fight for me, only Mazzy, Paly, and Viconia stayed alive. But other than the xp, I was dissapointed. I kept the Staff of Magi, gave it to Imoen once I got her back..it's pretty much just another staff..what's so special about it??

well lets see protect from evil, immunity to charm, the combine fireball lighting damge trap spell oh and that little thing called dispell magic with each hit

hehe, that'll learn me to read more closely!
