Lessons learnt in De'Arnise Keep. Never backstab a Troll. If a Troll dies from backstabbing, it spawns an unkillable body, which later transform into a fully healthy Troll. Not so bad for regular Trolls, but a real pain when it comes to Spirit Trolls.
From time to time, back off from a near-death Troll. Sometimes you may whack them too much that they 'forget' to drop dead.
Nalia's Captain has ACID Arrows on him, but he gives you Fire Arrows instead. Stingy cur. Pickpocket him to get them.

210dmg on a Greater Yuan-Ti, and counting.
Yes, I do realise I am cheating a bit by using a mod item. Normally I do not install Item Upgrades, but since I am experimenting with it for the first time, I might as well go all out. This will be my only run with Item Upgrades. Subsequent games will not have it installed.

Jaheira's Harper Quest neared completion when the party arrived at De'Arnise Keep. Dermin arrived to confront her and well... the results were not pretty for Dermin.
Dermin bit the dust early, due to IKitthix. IKitthix is quite possibly one of the cheesiest summons ever. A chance to poison AND web with each hit. Saving throws? What saving throws? Given its' ApR, it is a foregone conclusion that unless the enemy has immunities, they will fall. I could have just let IKitthix win this fight all by itself, but that would not have been fun. Notice how there is already a chunked victim next to Rena. E-yup. She has been backstabbing them.
Thar he blows!. Water's Talon +4 is a very, very, broken weapon. The poison effect is simply too powerful. Jaheira is currently using it, and it completely owns Adamantium Golems, by poisoning them to death. No saves, no magic resistance, and it is applied on EVERY hit. Only sheer immunities will save you from the cumulative poison damage. I shudder to think what it would be like if I Improved Haste Jaheira.
Fun trivia. You may not hurt Stoneskinned Mages with Paralytic Bolts, but you can still stun them with it. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I had more problems fighting this
Iron Golem( I chose not to use Water's Talon +4) than the Red Dragon from the Random Outdoor Encounters mod. I am not sure what to make of this.
