heh cool story six.....i actually read all that.

i personally didnt have any trouble on my first run in with the rune's
was done in like 5 minutes,and no reloads... i think i did it after the underdark.

i had korgan and 2 projected images run in the room, when i saw the lich teleport to my real body i quickly ran back , and just did them one by 1, tho that anooying vamp couldnt wait on his turn and came bargin in my corner, after meeting viconia he quickly realised that shangalar was sorta a chump and hed much rather help me.

offcourse when korgan finished the last blow on shang we killed the vamp. :evil:
it took me the longest to figure out what to do with the stew, since i didnt have tob back then, n i didnt spot the eye on the beholder,,,,,,ahh well.

personally i think the staff's sorta lame tho, i mean you can just keep turning invisible
just click on your staff icon n poof your gone again,it sux your permanently invisible.
