    So, hey, I was just doing a playthrough on insane difficulty and found a scroll of True Sight on the body of a goblin in Irenicus's dungeon. Of course, I can't cast it yet....

    Also, I've gotten through Irenicus's dungeon on insane before. The hardest fight is the Duergar dwarves in the middle of the first map. I'm pretty sure I just beat those bad asses without taking any damage at all. Imoen may have taken six hp of damage, but I'm relatively certain she got that damage before the battle started. It was the only thing I was worried about other than the clay golems, which did kill me in on hit the first time because I forgot to cast an important buff spell. Now all I have to worry about is the mephits on the elemental plane, but I'm pretty sure that's going to be an easy enough fight.

    Random drop, I've seen level 5+ scrolls drop very rarely from goblins/kobolds even in the vanilla game.

    True Sight is a level 6 spell.

    Edit -

    Missed the plus sign there. Forum wouldn't let me delete post.

    Yeah, if you're lucky, kobolds/goblins/orcs/gnolls can drop some nice scrolls. Doesn't happen often, though.

    I've never seen it in Irenicus's dungeon before, though. I might have seen a kobold in the sewers drop a meteor storm or something crazy like that before and paid no attention to it because I was higher level. But right now, hanging out with Rielev, on insane difficulty? True Sight is just about the most important spell in the game. It's just too bad I can't use it yet. Talk about luck...

    Of course, by the time I'm able to use it, it's affordable in any spell shop. But still.... Luck!

    Well, you could allways cast it off the scroll itsself for a single use.
    I'd suggest the simulacrum/silent image workaround to not lose items in your quickslot, but by the time you can perform those tricks you'll be able to cast true sight from your own spellbook just as well :p

    Just found a Pierce Shield spell in chateau Irenicus. The level 8 spell, that is. Not on a goblin, but in a chest, but still. It will be a while before anyone can use that spell.
