This guy and his vampires kill me no matter what I do, where I'm at, or who's in the party. I tried to leave the city because i couldn't beat him and he followed me. Help?

They kick ALL our butts in 2 to 3 seconds

You really haven't told us very much. What level is your party? Have you sided with the shadow thieves? Have you attacked Bodhi?

And why don't you try sleeping in a tavern until daylight? Vampires can't attack you during the day.

Just read the section on gamebanshee's bg2 page that gives you vamp slay'n tactics. In order to melee him you need enchanted weapons, not sure of the min requirement but +3 weapons have no trouble hitting him.
If you're desperate for a quick fix and have a little coin on you just grap a protection from undead scroll and put it on your best hitter who has an enchanted weapon. hide everyone else in an inn or something. You'll be able to take free hits and he'll just stand there looking stupid.

The problem he's refering to is Tanova's your first Hardcore enemy mage of many, project image, misled, and of course maze, which sucks to resist as an act 3 character., do this, have jehiera summon all the animals she can, or soemeone, sue them to pull out the regular vampire, kill him, then send all the animals to run Tanova out of spells, then use stand vampire techinques. Tanova is easy except for that stupid maze........ and soloing her is worse with that dang maze, but the thing should work, if you cnat summon animals use that spider thing the one women drops down there.

the difficulty for first fight with Tanova is her Domination. But the Amulet of Power give by Aran (shadow theif leader should be enough). If you encounter her at the dock, theer's a little trick if you are a range attacker. Use the gate of a house at the southwest of Dock District (where you kill a Cowl Wizards for Edwin). Use that gate as the buffer and then attack the vampires like hell. Make sure your range weapon are effective against them and have enough ammo.

I thought Tanova was that vampire in Bodhi's crypt when you clear it for the first time. Well, anyway, she's a vampire mage all right. I had trouble with her too, and unconcernedly used Silence 15" Radius on her, and she didn't make the save and so was silenced. I disrupted her Vocalize casting and she died (for second time, I guess.)

oh for Bhaal's sake, if its the vampire in the crypts, shes the killer mage in teh little crooked intersection before room of spikes,
just at entrance cast about 2 webs.

have aerie or by this time you should have run across a inc cloud scroll....cast into fog and hear her and her little vampire friends too...cackle, cakle, grin, or did I mean her and her little dog too!
will fry. inc cloud is the only area affect spell you ever need, at high levels its pure hell. only bad against fire elementals, and for that I really am fond of keldy with wave halberd for that...and chain triple cone of hold, also at high levels will freeze and shatter fire elementals.

Also if you have a 13 monk or higher have it stealth behind her, and quivering palm. If it doesn't work have him use prot. from undead.
