{hehe} You read my mind, SixOfSpades. [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/evillaughter2.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img]

Alson - I finally got a chance to test your theory about Poison Traps last night. I set a couple of traps for the final fight in the Slaver's ship. My two traps took out the fighter in the group, but it didn't say anything about him being poisoned. I also had Yoshimo and Minsc firing arrows. I was targeting the mage, but the AI may have switched to the fighter since he was advancing.

I took the mage Hiding in Shadows and Backstabbing. One hit..and down he went. I then drank a Potion of Invisibility and repeated the process with the cleric. One good Backstab = one dead cleric. Then it was "mop up" time on the two archers. Kelric (my assassin) used his Fear (or Horror) ability and they both failed. {HAHA} We had to chase those buggers through 3 different rooms before we finally killed them.
