    When I was playing the Ice Temple I smashed him with the club of disruption. He failed his fortitude save and was disrupted...

    [​IMG] "That time came during our Coming Storm festival when my sisters and I led our newly formed congregation of one hundred strong in a prayer so profound, Auril Herself blessed us with Her embrace. The glacier was thus born. All that remained was the temple's creation - *our* temple - which Nickademus, arch-architect, honored guest and former lover of Oria accomplished with impressive speed and skill..."

    He's actually one of the more important characters in the temple, and one you shouldn't kill. He'll attack you if you try to loot his cabinet when he's up, so you need to do it before you wake him up. You can also promise him a favour that he'll collect on later in the game. (If that's part of another quest or not I'm not sure.)

    He can tell you how all the traps and machinery in the temple works, and it'll go into your journal as handy reference. He can also repair Oswald's ship, if you haven't done it yet by the time you see him.

    Tal, this is true. I know this bit, but what was "odd" was the fact that when he is not useful after fulfilling his favour you can kill him. This I did and with the club of disruption. I have the screenshot too!

    It simply proves that Nick is a little bit "other than human"...

    AFAIK, Nickademus is an "outsider" just like those demons which he summoned to this world and trapped in temple.

    That's weird... He didn't change into anything when I attacked him...

    Anakha. How do you "know" that he is an outsider?

    Tal. I didn't say that he changed into anything. He just "disrupted" first hit and I was surprised that it even happened. I did not expect that he would...

    I am not sure but I think he mentioned something like that when he speak the gelugon at the beginning of Ice Temple revisit.
    As I said, I am not sure. Maybe I misunderstood him and get a wrong clue.
    However, if Nick is subject to disruption, I think I am right.
