    I was making my way to the lair of the Imprisoned One,in the Watcher's Keep. I put the Wisdom Key in its proper place and just when I was waiting for some boring demons to appear, five guys I've never heard about were summoned. There were four pretty good fighters (19 STR) with spellcasting abilities and a powerfull mage capable of Time Stop. What are these guys? Ferrumach Rilmanis and Aurumach Rilmani? Does somebody know anything about them or what they are? I think it's their only appearance in the entire game...

    They're one group of guardians of the seal. They've shown up each time I've been to that point so they're not random encounters or anything like that.

    I always thought that they were all clerics, or fighter/clerics, but the one seems to be a fighter/mage. Inside his TImeStop he went on to cast a couple Cons Of Colds and gave me a bad spanking with his staff... overall, of course they are quite easy compared to the final seal.

    Welcome to the Boards! I'm not overly fond of any of the creatures that show up on the 5th level, but I do think the Rilmanis are cool. I made up a story in my head about how they were a family of adventurers who somehow annoyed old Helm, and so he stuffed them into the keep to defend the seal for all eternity. But that's all just my imagination -- I've never heard of them before in any FR novels or anyting like that.

    I think all the enemies you face in Watcher's Keep are imprisoned there by Helm (Demogorgon just being the biggest and baddest of them).

    Honestly never gave much thought to it. I definitely think that Depaara's thought is plausible. Maybe we were intended to debate this kind of thing. There's a few other spots in the game that leave one wondering.
