questions about the underdark?

Keldorn got enough of true sigths and he also got this item that grants him spellturning and I got Aerie Mage/Cleric Jaheira Druid and Imoen Mage in my party which means I got enough spells to choose from. So the wyenr call would be the best spell suitng my party at the moment.

From my personal experience, a Skeleton Warrior will clean the cold-room just as good as an Efreeti, and is almost as good as Nishruu when fighting Mages.
Same results - but i get to save my 6th level slots for something better.

I wholly agree about the Wand of Monster Summoning. The thing is a fodder machine!

Heh... Indeed, with Keldorn in the party there's no need for True Sight - but on the same note, with a Mage, a Cleric/Mage and a Druid there's no need for another summoning source.
My advice - get to the Spell Turning page, and give the book to one of your front liners (the book is usable by all).
In conjunction with the Ring of Spell Turning, you would have two spell-bouncing front liners (possibly three, due to the Cloak of Mirroring) - which can be a fearsome sight.

Given that the Ring of Spell Turning and the Spell Turning page can only protect you from ONE spell (well, one spell that's worth blocking, anyway), the image of "three spell-bouncing front liners" doesn't really apply. Not that I'm degrading these two items--they can be a lifesaver against things you aren't expecting, as my Barbarian found when we went up against Improved Abazigal. I HATE Dragons that cast Imprisonment, especially against the PC.

He can then chose to cast a wyern call to use as a meatshield or use the horn of blasting or even the ring of the ram...
A spelldeflection wouldnt help me much when fighting melee monsters, now would it ?

If that is the case, i guess Wyvern's Call is better.
Personally, if not True Sight or Spell Turning, i would've picked Farsight - but that is because i play a lot with Project Image.
To each his own, though. [img]smile.gif[/img]
