I was thinking about this today & came up with a couple of things to try using weimer-cheese to beat weimer-cheese (it'll take me a while to get back there to try these out, so if anyone wants to, please do)...

- Can Solaufein Dimension Door into the pit? I know it's very cheesy to pass items into the pit, but if Sola can DD in, he could "legitimately" carry some Druid-friendly items in with him, right? And then help out with fight...

- What about Improved Kitthix? Can it DD into the pit to help with the fight, even if summoned outside the pit?

... &, getting away from weimer-cheese...

- How about targeted Summons? those that you can pick the spawning point - can someone outside the pit summon a Planetar (or whatever, that's very high level) into the pit?

- my last run through I didn't have Jaheira & didn't feel like levelling up Cernd, so I CTRL-J'ed my Thief into the pit, set a bunch of traps, CTRL-J'ed him out, then let Cernd fight it out with the benefit of the massive trap damage & he won - extremely cheesy/cheating, but only slightly more so than just CTRL-Y'ing Faldorn, which seems equally justified.

Even if any of those work, it still means clearing the Druid Grove is a "right before confronting Irenicus" battle, which is silly.

(while I'm at it, I'd just like to say that Improved Druid Grove rules, while Improved Faldorn utterly sucks)
