    Wow! Your Aerie experience is completely different from mine. She didn't say a word to me in the Underdark.

    Out of curiosity, are you having a romance with her? That might be triggering some of the moronic dialogue. I downloaded the romance patch in chapter 6 (there were no romances prior to that since my main character is female) and Aerie became annoying almost immediately. But she certainly hasn't been spouting off about morality. That must be really exasperating!

    Sprite, yeah, I was having a romance with her at the time. I don't THINK that had anything to do with it, since none of it was romantic in nature--but I guess anything's possible!

    Oddly enough, I think Aerie was more talkative down there than Viconia. Viconia had maybe three things to say and didn't even comment on it when we found her imprisoned kinfolk. Aerie was gabbing away to everyone...

    Firstly - make sure you defend your charge against anyone that attacks. You might want to use Otiluke's Resilient Sphere on her, if you've got it and think the attacks are too powerful.
    Secondly - if you're in doubt, use your Paladin's Detect Evil.

    The best way is to make it impossible for the assassins to reach the girl: Kill them downstairs if at all possible. So be *ready* to use missile weapons and, if you find the time, even use traps.
    It is pretty hairy to fight upstairs for it is possible that the bitch will turn hostile even when unharmed (*that* bug drove me :mad: ). Good luck.

    [​IMG] Yeah! Dragon; back again?

    From the assasins, who will attack the girl only one(by the door) makes his way upstairs to kill her. Later when that guy from Baldur's Gate arrives, make sure to cast detect evil spell(paladin special ability). When you see the armored guy glowing up with a red light for a second, then he is evil and must be destroyed. When not, then he is the man the girl must be delivered to.
    Beware! If you don't detect the evil, the quest is failed and you don't get the cool armor( pride of the legion; full plate +2) and the large shield +2 ; plus you are banned from the order once and for all!

    SO...detect evil always! ;)

    My tactic with the Uberhulks was to send out a character with high magic resistance forward to lure a hulk into the first room while having another character there ready to close the door. This way I could fight each one individually.

    I find shutting doors a good tactic to breakup a hostile group.

    [​IMG] You don't need magic resistance - good saving throws (perhaps due to the use of potion of heroisn iirc) and various helms, shields and weapons that give charm protection work just as well to protect you from umberhulks and are a more direct way to deal with it.

    But you think that a level 40 conjurer is easier to defeat than a red dragon? :D :D :D

    [​IMG] The polimorph other spell turns the target into a squirrel. You wanna' try it out with Firkraag? Take your time, it won't be easy.

    I write it down how it will turn out to be:

    Dragon903: casts polimorph other: Firkraag
    Firkraag: magic resistance
    Dragon903: casts polimorph other: Firkraag
    Firkraag: save vs polimorph
    Firkraag: breath Dragon903
    Dragon903: takes(59) damage
    Dragon903: save vs breath weapon
    Dragon903: one of the spells have failed
    Firkraag: attacks Dragon903
    Dragon903: takes(35) damage
    Dragon903: takes(27) damage
    Dragon903: death(for good)

    Ahh...Good luck to you! :D :D

    [​IMG] That would be awesome. Back when I was in junior high (and didn't know too much about the rules) I had an AD&D campaign with a friend who played a mage. My friend kept turning himself into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and kicking total bootie!

    After 6 months of this, the DM finally read the rules and said, "Hey, you can't do that!"

    My friend replied, "I know, but I also knew that you didn't know!" :D :D :p

    You can do it in chapter 7, dragon.
    But I must dissapoint you; the black dragon is more softer than good ol' Firkraag! ;)

    I don't know about that! true, he isn't as strong, but you can't surround him and all those things you can do to get an advantage against firkraag, plus, he throws this annoying entangle spell, and if your party gets caught up in that (yes it happened), you're pretty much donedidelydone for.
