This post is full of spoilers.

I do a few quests around Athkatla then like go to WK with a party about level 11 (single class 11). It is tough, but when you go there that early you don't have the insect plague summoner statue or the mage one. They only appear if you go to WK at higher levels.

The first floor is fairly easy to sneak around aslong as you have the daystar to kill the vampiric wraiths and at least one +3 weapon to kill the golem statue. I actually managed to get to the third floor before minsc reached level 12 lol and he had been in my party since the start of the game. Then I went to the succubs and let her life drain me to get to the cambion. Gambled for wish and spectral brand then for his way out. There is absolutely no way at all I coulda killed him though. Had to fight the demon wraith next, but the hardest part of that fight is disarming all the traps in the room as quick as possible.

You really indulge the powergamer in you like this, two + 4 weapons with spectral brand and usumos blade, bag and case of holding +1, crimson dart +3 and some other nice ToB items like the extra healing potions. You do need to take a thief who is good at disarming traps like Yoshimo though to get by the second floor [img]smile.gif[/img]
