...and then they all killed each other. ( SPOILERS )

I'm just about done with the Severed Hand and am currently going through the Officer Tower. On the third floor, where all the little rooms are, I decided to rest... and naturally, the attempt resulted in 6 Neo-Orog Priests all crammed into the room I was resting outside of. Before I knew what was happening, they were all casting Circle of Blades at the same time... and I didn't have to do a thing because they killed each other with their Circles of Blades. :laugh:

Anyone else ever have their enemies take care of themselves in a similar fashion?

That's pretty cool.

What I really hate is when the Orc Firestarters in the early game blow up a whole pack of orcs. It's useful XP for that stage of the game, just going to waste. I've taken to sneaking up and attacking the kegs of blasting first, unless I'm confident in my ability to immobilize the Firestarter or kill it with one hit.

What bugs me about the Orc Firestarters is that they can set the Kegs of Blasting aflame, but I can't. I really liked it in NWN HotU when you were able to use the Drow's catapults against them; in IWD2, I can destroy the kegs, but not use them against the Orcs unless they blow themselves up.

(( By the way, I retract my earlier opinion about the 8 Chambers being the most annoying stage of the game, and hereby nominate Level 4 of Dragon's Eye, where you're caught in the time loop. Hate. HATE. ))

You can blow up the kegs with fire pots, but you won't get any XP for orcs killed in the blast.

Yes, the time loop is annoying. There's not much to slaughter, either.
