Keep them safe in your bag of holding. You have a big chapter ahead of you in the Underdark :)

You'll eventually exit from there (with some new goodies) and be able to revisit Athkatla.

Im in the underdark, and so far I have 2 problems.
1. there is this ball thing where i release a soul and a lich comes and kills me.
2. Drows are so damn hard to kill with their high defense

Indeed, drows are hard to kill, with their magic resistance and Adamantite armour and weaponary. Their mages are just as vulnerable to hack and slash though. I think I used combinations of Haste, Protection from Evil, Strength of One and just charged them, leaving my mages to bring down their defences.

#1 That's the toughest encounter that machine spawns. Try the other facets.
#2 Many of the encounters happen in set places. You can prepare with spells and summons.

What do you mean try other facets. I already killed one of those guys that bords saemon's ship

Spoilers ahead- There are lots of 'face' like things on the sides of the machine and each can be used. Each spawns a different creature. Some helpful or like the lich, some not.

Check the GB walkthrough to see what each side of the machine does.

*nods* Drow armour is good. Just stash your old daylight armour in your Bag of Holding. There will be an opportunity to use Drow armour again in TOB. Though you'll have to pick up new stuff in that particular place.

Why? I don't recall mages being able to cast while wearing it. Am I misremembering?

I've had that before, though from Phaere. That was when I was getting reagants from the elder races. As lonelypilgrim says don't rest (or load an earlier save) and go back to Ust Natha to continue the main quest. Go back to looting later. :)

If you were in the Minder Flayer City does that mean you have already saved the daughter?

If so, haste your party and maybe turn them invisible then rush them back to the city to meet with Solaufein the market, I believe.
