Um...where do you find Azuredge, and what do you need to upgrade it?(If you can)

The Undead creatures in the Temple Ruins vary greatly with the party's level. Depending on whether you're just starting out or you've already been to Spellhold and back, you can find anything from Mummies to Liches in there. (Although I think the Bone Golem on the other side of the "letter tiles" is constant.)

You buy Azuredge from the Copper Coronet.

If you have the item upgrade mod installed, a little illithium can be used to coat the axe. +4 insta-death to undead anyone? Oh, and it also makes you immune to level drain [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sexy eh [img]smile.gif[/img]

Copper Coronet is a store? Or is it one of those dang "bonus merchants"? I need to find a spot where you can download them.

An Alhoon isn't so much a Lich as it is an undead Mind Flayer (meaning more resistances). Think of him more as a Mind Flayer/Vampire. A Lich is more powerful - an Alhoon doesn't have the spell power a Lich does.

On a related topic, from the Forgotten Realms books I've read, even Improved Illithids don't inspire the dread I'd come to expect from them. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Although, I must admit, when I first played through SoA & met The Hidden (before meeting any other Illithids, even after Windspear - just based on the NPC's I added), it struck a chord of terror in me - I was like "RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!!" even though he isn't a threat - now, I don't fear them much... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Damn I feel special cause here's one I can answer!

Copper Coronet is the Inn located in the Slums district. The rather rotund fellow at the far left by the counter, Bernard, will sell you stuff... and the stuff will be even cheaper once you do a certain Copper Coronet related quest.

FWIW, certain items, like Azuredge, are only available from Bernard after the Copper Coronet related quest is performed.

What SixOfSpades said, except that with the tactics mod, enabling the toughest encounters gives you the lich right out of the gate. So you can easily be facing liches by the time you are 10th level...

And you don't necessarily have to finish the slave quest to get the cheaper goods from the Copper Coronet -- all you have to do is accomplish one of the results of freeing the slaves...

As for bonus merchants, do a search on this site for Weimer or WeiDu and you will probably get a link to his site where you can get all kinds of cool stuff, including the bonus merchants. Those may be bundled under ease of use. I don't recall exactly...

He's a Mindflayer/Lich alright.
It's just that he doesnt use his spells .. the same thing with mind flayers almost not using their special abilities.
Improved mindflayers use their abilities a bit better and the tactics-mod also gets Alhoon to use his spells. He is not a vampire, definetly a lich.
But if you want to meet vampiric Illiithids, just buy ToB
