Greetings all,
I'm in a wee bit o' trouble in that danged bandit camp. I've murdered everyone in the camp (except the hammer wielding guy, he is one tough coockie, I'm saving him for later) and now when I enter the leaders tent I'm dead before I know it. The archers and Sorcerors dish out some heavy punishment to begin with and in come the fighters. I'm usually dead after 7 seconds or so... Anyone got any hints to beat this hellhole? For information, my party consists of the following : Level 3 Dwarven Fighter Imoen level 3 Xan level 3. Thanks in advance.

you could go and do some more sub quest and gain some more experiens before you takel the bosses. or u could take som more in to your party.
and about the hammer guy I usally charm him and make him fight the other bandits until he´s has lost alot of life and then i attack him. |

well. You could do this really cheesily, go into the tent cast a fireball (with wand) go back out, go back in again etc. The problem is you only have 3 low level fighters, I might suggest use an invisibility potion on your Dwarf and send him in to the back to get the annoyin archer, get xan to use a wand of fire (he cant use the spell) to weaken the guys at the front while your dwarf takes out the two at the back and imoen can use arrows or short sword, whatever shes most proficient in, to take out some of the front men, although if you use a bow be careful not to get to close to the target.

Your main problem is indeed low level. You have 3 level 3 characters. If you are going to stay with those three, dont come back until they are all at least level 5. By then you should have better equipment too!

Rule of Mixed-party fighting #3: Take out the Mage first. This will be difficult for you, since he casts Mirror Image. The natural counter to Mirror Image would be Magic Missile, but of course Xan can't cast that. He can, however, cast Sleep (an absolutely devastating spell in BG1), and can also cast Resist Fear and Horror. If you can incapacitate the Mage and 1 or 2 of the Fighters, you've just evened the odds.
If Imoen has a Potion of Strength and a few Invisibility Potions, Backstabbing should be worthwhile: Nobody in that tent is wearing much in the way of armor. She should be very close to Level 4 right now, which I believe is where Triple Backstab begins to kick in. But yes, running around with 3 low-level people is just asking for trouble. Get thee some backup, man!

Right now I got a party of 6 characters with lvl 6/7. I'm still on the road to the bandit camp.
(I am using the DSotSC and the Harder MODs - thats explains the high level, but I would still recommend lvl 5/6 for a normal installation) [img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img] Insane

And be preparted to take some acid damage. IIRC, the archer fires acid arrows, and the mage uses melf's acid arrow.

Ok, point taken. I'm adventuring right now but I just cant seem to find alot of experience... I've done the Gnoll Stronghold which didn't yield that much, right now I'm clearing Gulleykin. I've made a small change to my party too : I've replaced Xan with Dynaheir since I figured the Elf was kind of contradictionary -> he has a kick ass sword so I was using him for Close Combat, but his mage being just gets him killed alot. Did anyone ever take Dynaheir without taking Minsc? I figured 3 adventurers was enough so I just ignored him and went straight by...
