crazy dudes on 2nd floor of inn

[homicidalcrazycat]

hi all. i've just started.

in athlaka. cheap inn beside the mithril inn.

2nd floor.

dwarf + a couple of other guys and a mage with the familiar named pooky.

are these guys possible to kill with low level characters? or do i have to finish half the game and then come back. it's been 5 reloads. no dice.

any help appreciated!!

waka waka!

Yeah, they're a bunch of uptight nutters with axes to grind. Give 'em a wide berth, then come back after you have a bit of experience. THEN kick their butts.

It's not like they're critical to a quest or anything, y'see.

tank salott tank!

i even tried summoning a bunch of stuff to block the doorway while my archers let loose. aerie tossed in 3 cloudkills. took out only pooky. the mage made everybody nuts each time.

i'll head out and come back in after a couple levels. thanks!

Yes it's possible, but quite difficult. I managed to do it in Chapter 1 after I had finished the circus quest.

You can leave them for later, they're not going anywhere. But if you feel you must kick the snot out of Mencar Pebblecrusher & gang, here is how I did it:

1. Arrange tanks at doorway. Spell casters/ranged weapon users at the rear.
2. Cast protective spells.
3. Summon animals if you have any.
4. Cast stinking cloud/entangle or similar spells.
5. Concentrate on taking down Pooky first as he (it?) casts confusion. Once Pooky is down, go for the mage next.
6. Mop up & collect some neat (for beginning of game) items.

Oh, btw, welcome to the board!

It is quite possible to kill them with low-level patry - but it isn't easy. Leave them alone - till gaining some levels
Or (if you want to kill that guys now VERY much) - with a proper tactics and Save-Load trick - try to do it. I would recommend to kill the mage at first (with bow&arrows+1or2) - in order to prevent casting. Also do not enter the room with all party - let it be your best fighter speaking with dwarf&Co, while others wait outside the room. And do not forget defensive spells and different useful potions! Anyway, let us know how is it going.
BTW, welcome to the forum!

yup all! i managed to kill them all. i summoned up a bunch of wolfs and stuff and plopped them down in the doorway. aerie lets loose a bunch of clouds. yoshimo sets a trap right behind the doorway. slowed them down just enough for Jaheira (yup) to finish the badass dwarf.

had one casualty though. minx was killed. i decided that it was too much work to reload so i accept his death and resurrected him downstairs at the temple of ilmater.

thanks for your suggestions though. been playing for hours. jaheira just got cursed by that ployer guy.

btw, when you resurrect a guy, or when a guy dies, does he lose some equipment?

thanks again for a warm welcome.

His equipment will be sitting on the ground were he died

I suggest you kill them right after the circus quest cause if you come back later their stuff aint as useful as it would be if your just starting out.
