I have now completed the Planar Sphere, the De'Arnise Keep, and the Temple Ruins, aside from the Dragon, and am also roughly half way through the Planar Prison quest. I have also accepted the 3 appropriate strongholds. I will upload Party Inventory screenshots sometime within the next week.

Random musings.

The Yuan-Ti mage that guards the master key in the Keep attacked me in melee without casting a spell, this is very odd and should be looked at.

Also the Infernal Thievery component of Quest Pack. It is an interesting component, but I had 1 problem with it. Killing the Marilith gets you 23,000 exp, and the Cowled Wizards using Imprisonment on it gets you 5,000 exp. However, if you kill the Marilith after the mages show up but before Imprisonment is cast, you get both exp rewards. This works if you kill the Marilith even before the wizards have even finished teleporting in to the area. Therefore the 5,000 exp reward is given not for the Imprisonment working, but is awarded if you survive long enough for the wizards to arrive, regardless of what happens next.

I managed to beat it by taking advantage of its 0 resistance to Acid, a lot of luck and the accidentally dicovered but horribly cheesy fact that Hallowed Redeemer does its counter effect even when the hit comes from an after effect, such as Poison.
