When I destroy the skulls from the Ritual thing, Countess Marentha appears, and it says:

Countess Merentha- Casts her part of the Complete Ritual: Countess Merentha.
Countess Merentha- Yes! Everything that we have worked for shall come to pass!

I get the feeling that I didn't do this right. Wasn't I supposed to stop her from doing this? What do I do?

You can either let her complete casting the ritual, or you can attack and kill her. Either action will complete the ritual satisfactorily.

Depends on how you want to roleplay finding the ever-so-subtle Robe of the Good Archmagi...

Yes, you are supposed to disrupt the ritual - and she should be unharmed.

what worked for me was: Doom + Greater Malison + Spook

You must hit her with these spells before she casts her ritual spells and that is not a lot of time especially when those golems jump in your face.

I also read somewhere about Power Word: Stun working on her successfully.

there is a robe of good archmagi available???

not a big deal, there are at least 3 robes in the game...much harder to find is robe of neutral archmagi...only one set as far as i know in the game at all, availible only in tob...sigh...

spook did the trick for me the first time...

usually don't have to bother with mally or doom with spook, that's what makes it such a great spell...penalty to save...

i forget, is it much more lucrative to kill her or disrupt???

I complete the ritual by kill everything, so I return to WK to talk to Pontifex. Then I die.

It keep casting Time stop, I don't have chance to fight back, I play solo as a F/M/C. I can cast my TS. but it cast through CC which is faster then me, I don't know how many TS it can cast, I have seem it does it at least 5-6 times in a row, which I manage to survive by casting PFMW/Stone skin. I plan to let it finished all its TS, then I cast my to finish it, I have 5 more PFMW scrolls.

Anyone know does it has unlimited TS?

For me, it seems that Pontifex disappeared after I initiated the fight. Either I killed him really fast, or he disappeared and got away. I think the 2nd one is right. Do you mean the yellow dragon is casting the time stops? Don't wait him out. Just go up to him and keep hitting him. When he casts protection spells, use dispel magic and then continue fighting. That's the way I beat him. Of course, I had a tougher battle though. I was fighting the dragon and was losing somewhat when I got pulled out to fight the poison guys. I managed to finish them off with a few ADHW and some fighting, but I barely survived after already being low on HP. But at least I had time to heal up before going back to the yellow dragon to whip his ass .

I was pull into poison also, but I am not prepared and die quickly. so I reloaded and finish poison first then approach Pontifex again.

Yes I am talking about the yellow dragon. I heard that is suppose cast 3 TS, but in my game it just cast the 5th TS and I run out of PFMW/Stone Skin and died. Maybe I should use some summon to distract it and cast my TS.

[EDIT] I finally kill it, I run away and cast stone skin and PFMW after its first TS, when it dimension door to get me, I cast my TS, which is faster then it and I kill it during TS.

Maybe it's just 3 TSs on Core Rules. Are you playing on Insane or something?
