::shakes head:: You're thinking in terms of the game. Don't talk about exploiting an ingame cheese if we're talking about two characters fighting. And Elminster has no small ability to listen and see hidden people, so it would depend on how high a level a rogue you are.
And how do you suggest using the scroll, anyway? Just walk up to them and read the scroll, and expect them to let you? Elminster can cast spells at a moment's thought, and he knows his way around a sword, too.
And yes, we also shouldn't forget about all of his contingencies, spell triggers, and Elminster's Evasion.
