I need a wee bit of help, you see i am in bodhi's lair and there is this nasty vampire in my way to get into the spiked room. Have tried protection from undead/negative plane and a mace of disruption+1 and she refuses to yield or die and she throws out mirror images that add fuel to the fire any suggestions for a quick death to her i don't have any mages with 7th lvl spell ability yet and i would rather not cheat. if it helps am in chapter three doing the aran linvail quest. Thanks and any suggestion that will help me get past her will be much appreciated :)

You could recruit Sarah Michelle Gellar but that's cheating, too. ;)

Since you don't want to cheat, how about some suggestions -- especially since you're going to run into Bodhi later (at least 3 times, actually). There is a room in there with a nice mace that works pretty well against the undead, and vampires qualify on that score. Make sure you cleric equips that mace and the Amulet of Power you got from Aran Linvail (you did keep it, I hope) and use him as your front line troop -- not troops -- and make sure he/she has some healing potions cause Tanova will stick around for a while. Have your casters break down her defenses if they have the appropriate spells, cast negative plane protection on a tank (fighter, ranger, etc) and have that tank wail on her with a magic sword.

Before you even start the fight, lure the other vampire out into the big room so you're not fighting two at once. (I believe she's a fledgling vampire, IIRC).

None of this will work unless you've build yourself a little vampire bashing party. You've fight a lot of vampires over time and there's a huge vampire fight near the end of the game, so make sure make yourself vampire capable early on.

You didn't say what your main character is so it's hard to give specific advice. Hopes that helps.

I walked out of this entrance, waited a few seconds until her defensive magic ended, and gave her a quick death.

Since you don't have any lvl 7 spells. Just do the good ol' summon and wait patiently. Just summon creatures one by one. And she will use all her spells on them. She does run out after awhile (or at least slows down) and battle is yours. Just wait for her spell trap (me thinks) to wear off, and send in your tanks. Back up with mages (magic missles) and clerics cures where needed.

Also, try sending in some skeles they have high resistance to magic and can help out IMO.

How you wish to do this is entirely up to you, waht I did was get Edwin to summon a Nishruu and other animals to attck her, she will protect herself with the usual, eventually my Nishruu kept getting healed and so damaged her a bit but did not finish her, by that time she had no more spells and protection so I sent my fighters in and killed her, basically hide in the entrance to the cript and then summon a few creatures move them to attack her and she will protect herself wait until her protection has ran out and summon more animals until she has no spells and then let her have it. This tactic worked when fighting Irenicus the 2nd and 3rd times, I killed him in the second battle with the help of a single Pit fiend.

Basicaly, run, hide, summon, wait and kill
