<font color="lightblue">I have decided to get my right to cast magic in the city by fighting the cowls a few times, and need a little help... i`m up to the "highest members of their order", and finally the battle is difficult. Only problem being that it is TOO difficult.
My party is Me (Jester level 12) Jaheira (F/D 9/12) Edwin (11- maybe 12...) Yoshimo (12) and Keldorn (10).

My general tactic sofar has been insect plague as soon as the Cowled Enforcer appears, then melee them.
But these guys break the rules.

One of them has disintegrate in a contingency.

What should I do to 1) Avoid being disintegrated, and 2) Kill the highest members of their order ?? </font>

I forget what level you get Power Word: Kill, but the Enforcer that teleports in initially has more than 60 HP.. What I usually do is have a few casters cast Magic Missile and then have someone else cast PWK... But you only have two magic users. So I would advise having Edwin memorize PWK (if he can.. if not, oh well) and have your Jester cast a spell like Magic Missile, or some other spell with a short casting time.. Perhaps Flame Arrow.. But you should also have Jahiera and Yoshi attack the wizard with daggers (They have good speed factors) and eat away at the Coweled guy's HP... I believe that he has 67 HP, but I'm not sure.. But once he's lost eight HP, fire away with Power Word: Kill. Good luck and have fun!
Why is a Harper telling you how to kill someone just doing their job? Easy, we hate Cowled Wizards.

i dont think you still have the spell abi-dazim horrid writing?? well... to be cheezzy try putting lots of traps where you think they will appear.. hehe... or it you want. lvl up some more before you face them. skeleton warriors (lvl 14 not the ordinary ones) with great magic resistance can help you clobber them.

*note* rumor has it that if you beat thier best cowled wizards, they wont appear and attack you anymore [img]smile.gif[/img]

Guys, he is unable to cast most of the spells you listed out. Read his party members' level carefully.

LennonCook, two words...

... Death Ward.

Oh, and BTW LenneonCook - putting disintegrate in a contingency is not cheating - any mage or bard whose level is 18 or higher can put level six spells in a contingency - including disintegrate. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color="lightblue">According to the spell description, it can`t be an offensive spell, or targeted at anyone but the caster :confused: </font>

I think you should level up a bit or buy a license before going against these guys. One of them (Zallanora?) is a level 30 conjurer. Even a control Q'd Elminster almost died taking on her!

<font color="lightblue">Ok, that didn`t work :(

I killed all but "Zidane", and was killed quickly because of his (her ??) sneaky spell combination:
Time Stop
Gate
Dimension Door

I had no time to protect my party from evil, and was practically dead anyway... I only had one thing I could think of left: Magic Missle... didn`t even scratch the pit fiend :(

Worst of all, I didn`t save before I fought [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] </font>
