Okay, I'm having trouble with Sarevok and that punk wizard he has with him at the Duchal Palace. Evidently, he does not count as hostile but he keeps using Flame Strike on my character! What the hell is going on here? If he's using flame strike on my character, I should be able to kick him in the nads! At this point, the fight is not fair. Next thing you know, Angelo and his Flaming Fist punks come in and start helping them get me! The fight is now 80 miles away from fair. And I can't use fireball or I'll piss off the neutrals. The fight is not only 80 miles from fair, it has just entered "This-Sucks City!"

Aftermath: One angry mother@#!?&% ready to take a sledgehammer to his computer!

i dont ever remember getting nailed by a flamestrike in that battle. IIRC i hasted all my guys b4 entering the room and sent my tanks after Sarovok and had my other guys nailing the dopplegangers....i tink once you do enough damage to sarevok he takes off. someone correct me if i'm wrong. have you tried attacking the mage who is flamestriking you? maybe just enough to disrupt his spells anyway.

to even it out:
charm some enemies (DON'T confuse them, they will attack the neutrals and turn them hostile)
go straight for Sarevok
use hostile-only area spells

Attacking Sarevok now is wrong. YOU may know he's a bad guy, but to everybody else, he's a good guy, and trying to kill somebody lauded as a hero (everybody loves him for solving the iron crisis) is generally regarded as a Bad Move. That's why Angelo and the rest of the Flaming Fist show up, to arrest (read: kill) your sorry, Duke-attacking butt.

That's probably why Winski Peorate starts opening up his can of Flamestrike on you, too, although in my experience he only does that when you fail to save Belt and Liia. If you save at least one, you win, but if both die, you lose, whether you killed all the Doppelgangers or not.

Well I failed to save both, is it still possible to beat the punk?

When I said go straight for Sarevok I was of course talking about AFTER he's exposed.
Not saving the Dukes is a problem, so get rid of Sarevok once he's exposed and try to charm some of the Dopplegangers.

No.

Not possible. The dialogue for exposing him (i.e., you produce the diary & everything) only happens AFTER all of the Doppelgangers are dead.

I just killed all the doppelangers first,they seemed no bother, then went for sarevok.

OOOPS,
Last time I played BG1 was under BGT maybe there's a change there, but what's more likely is that my memory is a sieve.

sorry to tell you Faceman but I'm afraid your memory is a sieve
