Don`t just take one party for one quest, dump one person, and get an entire other party every few quests. If you do that, you will end up with a party that will be too low a level to survive any of the later quests, even the last one in Chapter 3...
ahhh and which one would that be, like I was saying before I am working for Bodhi and I picked the better quest. Will her or the Shadow Theives be in the last quest for chapter 3?

If you sided with Bohdi, then your last quest for her will be to kill the shadow thieves. You het some nice items though, including a set of elven chain (can be worn by fighter/mages and still cast spells). BTW, you MAY want to try Jan, he's a multi-class mage/thief and he is so FUNNY!

Good luck

A tip for fighting the Umber Hulks.

When you first go downstairs, Post most of your party at the back of the room and another right beside the door. Have that character open the door and let one of the others shoot a missile weapon at the nearest Umber Hulk - but DO NOT advance - it will come to you. As soon as it comes through the door, have the character there shut the door behind it.

Now you only have one (or two at the most) Umber Hulks to deal with at a time.

Also, make sure you get the "dog food" from the kitchen. If you have a character that can go Invisible, then send them down the first long hallway on the right past the room with the Umber Hulks in it. Towards the end, you will find an opening on the right with a lot of bones in it. Place the dog food there.

Supposedly, the Umber Hulks will come running down the hallway because they eat the dog food. You simply follow the hallway on around and come out the other side (the hallway is U-shaped). Shut that door behind you....and go back in front of the door leading to the dog food.

If you have Cloudkill, you can cast it down the hallway, back up, shut the door, and watch the "feedback" at the bottom as the Umber Hulks die en-masse.

Just to let you know, this DID NOT work for me. Don't know what I did wrong, but I finally just had to kill them the old-fashioned way.

Party suggestions.

Keldorn is a paladin and is located in the Temple District, but you will face a TOUGH fight before you actually meet him.

Mazzy is a halfling fighter that you can track down if you go to Trademeet (I would personally recommend you go there next.....LOTS of experience and the fights are not overwhelming.)

You can also pick up Cernd - a shapeshifter druid - from a Trademeet quest, but you will face another tough fight before you get him.

Valygar is a ranger who is good with dual katanas. He is located in Umar Hills and there are no seriously tough fights up there. He is also a Stalker,which means he can "sneak ahead" of he party and Backstab enemies.

Just a few suggestions.

Ive finally rested to the point where Mr.Elminster shows up & gives jaheira the harper pin, BUT she still starts whining with the "What? You cannot mean to abandon me, i stood by you..." blah blah, is she supposed to say that after the she gets the Harper-pin? well ive come up with a temporary solution i just ask her to stand behind a closed door & then get viconia into the party(at the copper coronet) & she cant even walk up to me since she cannot open the door shes behind so if i need her services ill let her out of her 'cage' (heh heh i cant believe how smart i am [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
