As for the Imprisonment, I seem to remember the Book of Infinite Spells worked for me (once only), although that was a while ago. . .

Spell Turning does not block Imprisonment, and even if it did, an Assassin would still need UAI to cast Spell Shield in order to block the Anti-Magic Rays.

Lacking knowledge of the game (troll hitpoints, etc.) I can only guess that a 5x backstab is not enough to trigger troll-chunkify, whereas a 7x backstab is?
However, I've backstabbed injured trolls, too, and still not encountered an invincible troll.
Could it be one of your installed components?

I doubt so. The only mod I have that affects Trolls is the Improved Torgal mod.

While Nalia was held in captivity, I went to the Druid Grove in order to complete the Limited Wish quest and pick up Cernd at the same time. This will only be the third time in my BG2 gaming history that I am picking up Cernd. The only other NPC that fares worse is Haer'Dalis.
I really need to think of a party setup that can include Cernd. Not going to happen anytime soon though.
Cernd's quest was pretty straightforward, and it was not long before I abandoned him at the NPC inn.
Farewell, Cernd

More backstabbing screenies.
Backstabbed Drush
Nothing personal, Drush.
Backstabbed Priest of Mask
Rena's current personal best so far. Almost attained 300dmg. Soon, soon.
Backstabbed Officer Dirth
My favourite kill so far. Rena, Minsc, and Jaheira all struck at the very same time. Triple-Hit Combo Kill!
I have just about given up on trying to backstab Ulitharids. Even with a weapon of ZERO speed factor, I cannot backstab them fast enough before they turn around to face Rena. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It took me a few reloads to bring down the Shadow Dragon because the party was very, very depleted. The fight itself was not that hard, and I allowed the AI script to do most of the work, with manual intervention occasionally.
Kelsey started the fight with a
Spell Trigger, followed by Imoen's Spell Sequencer( GMalison+Slow+Slow). The Shadow Dragon went hostile, and casted
Remove Magic on Rena. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Fortunately, for the Shadow Dragon, it was not as Rena-obsessed as the other Bosses so far, and actually bothered to attack Jaheira, Mazzy, and Minsc. It was only when it wing-buffeted them away did it start to attack Rena. This meant however, it left Kelsey and Imoen alone. It is never a good idea to leave spellcasters alone, as
Kelsey demonstrates here.
Jaheira ran back into the fray and her AI script kicked in,
making her cast Implosion.
The finishing blow was like a show-down scene straight out of a movie. As Rena fired a Bolt of Lightning, the Shadow Dragon prepared to Wing-Buffet her. It takes time for a bolt to fly to a Dragon, so they both ended up hitting each other simultaneously.
The Shadow Dragon failed its' save and took the full damage from the Bolt of Lightning. Rena got clocked by the Wing-Buffet and started sliding away.
The Shadow Dragon now counts as Rena's greatest kill. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
ADD] Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this. It figures that the ONE and ONLY time Rena connects with a hit, it ends up being the killing blow. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

During the course of the fight with the Shadow Dragon, Jaheira's script had made her gulp down a Potion of Storm Giant Strength( 24 STR). STR damage bonuses applies to enchanted bullets.
Pity the Shade Lord. [img]graemlins/evillaughter2.gif[/img]
Cheers.
