sad sad sad

I think I'm almost done with Baldur's gate now. I've got to the part where I have to go through the underneath parts of Candlekeep.

And I've killed loads of people like Hull, and Winthrop, and all those. Or have I ? I'm not sure whether I've killed them, or whether they're Dopplegangers. Because I met "Elminster" and "Gorian" , they went on about how it's just an illusion that Sarevok has put upon me, and I've killed innocent people. However, they turned into Dopplegangers too, and I dont know whether thats part of the illusion or whether they really were dopplegangers!

Have I killed Elminster and Gorian?

Funny though ... I didn't believe them about how Gorian wasn't really dead ...

Highlight to read

SPOILER

They are just Doppelgangers, I don't know if you have played the expansion, but they are pulling a Durlag on you.
They are just playing with you, and Gorion is realy dead and you have to chop your way through candlekeep.
I really liked the part where i got to kill the old lady with the book.

Don't worry!

Maybe you didn't have done already the expansion. And when you do that you shall have hours to play. And don't forget the second BG. I must also to start to play that.

*spoiler*

When the doppelganger where really the real wizards, you were become a pig or a pad. They would be to strong. You didn't murded innoncent.

thanks!

happy happy

those wizardy dudes in the spidery cave afterwards were a bit nasty werent they?

I eventually sorted those out tho. Now Im onto dealing with the wizards on the fourth level of the Iron Throne.

I guess I have to go the Duchal palace NOW , it all makes sense

*SPOILER*

When you have done the Iron Throne, you get a letter. Don't forget to do first the Flaming Fist. There is also a surprise. And the two murders in sewers are also import. And than you can go to the palace.

And have you allready played the expansion Tales of the Swordcoast? That can you do best after the Palace.

And it was a pleasure to make you happy!

it's also very pleasurable to be happy, so yay, were both happy

Ive already finished off those nasty slimey-named dudes in the sewers. they were nasty! Slythe and something wasnt it ?

woo woo woo

Thing is, I've already completed shadows of Amn, so playing Baldurs Gate I at level 7 is really depressing

I cant seem to kill those wizards in the iron throne, even tho I cant progress anymore and Its on the easiest level

Ive tried lots of tactics too.

Oh well. Ahh forget it, Im happy!

After Ive done tales of the sword coast ( woo woo woo ) Im going to get throne of bhaal for BG II or possibly Ice Wind Dale II

decisions decisions ...

Try casting Emotion, it worked wonders with me, and a couple of fire balls and enough archers and magic missiles to disrupt spellcasting.

I usually just buff up for that fight... haste, protection from evil, strength potions, heroism potions, holy might (if you have it) and then just take them on and usually win in my first or second try on regular difficulty. Put a melee fighter up against that guy with the bow (cos hes deadly if you dont shut him down) and then just swarm the others 1 by 1. Use magic missiles on them to take out their mirror images and you should be fine.

You can get a shielded and protected from missile mage agains him... It's a real Gibfest

D)

Okay but I usualy have two mages to do my dirty work (once even had three

)

thanks, i'll try that.

I did try four fireball spells on them but still none of them died

I guess its time to whip up some protection spells

SPOILER!!!!

It's just hard to give a good tactic for that fight. So SPOILER!!!

The last time my mages were quite a high level. (I could cast cloudkill, which I didn't cause that would be wrong)

But let me tell you what I did.

First I cast emotion, in the room, wich disabled the rogue, with my other mage I cast a fireball, then I myself (cleric) cast silence (I had cast all my protective spells like protection from evil and natural balance, which work realy good).

My tank (Minsc with the shield +4 vs Missiles and Varscona and the best armor there is) kept the fighters away from my mages.

Imoen and Kivan kept firing arrows of dispelling and after that arrows of biting at the spellcasting monkeys.

Xzar and Dynaheir first fired all their magic missiles at the archer. (Xzar being fully protected) and this, at this level, would kill almost anyone. (remember the ring of wizardry)

Me being a cleric I first fired a couple of miscast magic spells, the second one took hold of a spellcaster. So this gave me Kivan, as he didn't need to fire at that mage anymore, to kill off the fighter troubling Minsc. Once the fighter fell, Minsc made short order of the rest of the troop.

Owh and please remember to cast haste on your party before going up, it's the best spell in the game.

I have cloudkill written into Dynaheirs mage book but i dont have the ability to cast at that high a level
