    I have done everything in Amnekatheran and I need to defeat either the Dragon-guy, or the Drow-woman. Right now, I have tried both of these ones, and I die right at the start from Draconis, or the Drow at the wood pile.

    My party is this: Jopin (bezerker, wielding Crom Faeryr, -12 ac, whirlwind, human), Dinin (made a drow through shadow keeper, fighter-theif, cutthroat +4, that slow Longsword, backstab x5, -11 AC), Sarevok (wielding Vorpal Sword, -6 AC), Korgan (-5 AC, wielding +3 Axe), Edwin (3 AC, wielding sling +3), and Viconia (-5 AC, wielding morning star from Gromnir).

    I have managed to almost kill Draconis, but his wing buffet makes a mockery of my guy, and he kills the rest of my party. Its really annoying when he time stops and starts attacking my guys, hitting every time!

    The Drow just whittle down my defences until a guy dies, and they just keep coming!

    Well draconis is a bitch since his scripting is amazing. When in dragon form he seems to cast non detection and keep going invisible. His mage form you have to kill fast before he weakens you somewhat.

    First i don't know why you have Sarevok with the vorpal blade since it sucks ass in ToB. You really should equip Korgan with the upgraded Axe of the Unyielding which you should already have by now. Just keep the spell casters outta combat and surround draconis with your fighters.

    Summon up a deva or elemental prince or planetar to keep draconis occupied when he wing buffets your party members. I'm assuming that 'slow longsword' is the answerer so when they get wing buffeted have them run back and use the greater whirlwind ability. Same with everyone else.

    If you still have problems then have someone draw draconis's attention and then run into the doorway where draconis can't reach them. Then just have everyone else attack him. He shouldn't be too hard.

    I didn't have any trouble with the drow so can't help you there unless you be more specific.

    Such as are these the drow at the woodcutter's cabin after you reveal him as a fake?

    Tyresian is right. But if you're really that bad, I suggest you keep on putting non-detection of you're thief and then try to backstab the dragon. Don't try to kill Dragonais before he's a dragon because I tried to do that, and he died and he came back to the living in dragon form. (I didn't even get exp. for killing him in human form!)
    *Warcry does not work on Dragonais!*
    Spoiler if you want it.

    Dragonais' head is the key to the door.

    Sendai if f*cking b*tch! But *sigh* I like her portrait. She wasn't any problem for me: Just keep on attacking to images so they won't be able to do any successful casts, and forget the drow mages, they don't have time stop, the Sendai images do!

    Yes it is the answerer. But I am not that high level. My fighter-theif does not have whirlwind yet! The door trick should work, and I don't know where I can get the axe for Korgan. What should I use with Sarevok than?

    The Beholder just makes a mess of me at the Woodpile, and I seem to be dealing it 750 damage at least!

    Give the answerer to someone else with whirlwind who knows how to use a sword. The axe of the unyielding is found in watcher's keep and the balor's claw to upgrade it is in yaga shura's temple help by that high priest fire giant. The warblade, soul reaver, and dragon's breath halberd are good choices to give to sarevok. You can still mob the dragon with fighters using greater whirlwind attack. Critical hit is also useful against him. Summon a planetar with edwin.

    Just go for the beholder first and keep it pinned down with missile weapons. If im not mistaken thats either a death tyrant or hive queen and both cast spells instead of using spell like abilities so you can disrupt its spells. You can also challenge it with someone who has the cloak of mirrors if you have that item.

    If you still have trouble with the drow and draconis i've heard timestop + improved alacricity with a mage works wonders though i find that tactic cheap.

    Shadow thief, Backstab a dragon??? Umm....
    And you have to defeat draconis's human form before he turns into a dragon.

    Don't think so. You can backstab a dragon, but not without non-detection. And it is after a certain period of time before he turns into a dragon. He'll probably turn into a dragon if he's unharmed even. But I killed the human form and after a while he came back and turned into a dragon.

    Edit: Instead of posting another *useless* post, I'll say "your welcome" on this one.
    Your Welcome!
