I have found the answer. At my level skeleton archers have fire arrows. By ensuring that they didn't use them until needed, I discovered that I only needed three flaming oil potions. I eventually found the key for opening the doors when I had already defeated the lizards and trolls. In my last...

Somehow blundered into doing the right thing. Everyone now hostile. I have defeated hordes of lizards, but because of no fire weapon I cannot kill the trolls. I am going to have to return to Fiddlebender to buy large stocks of flaming oil. At least I have thousands of gold to paay for them. :)...

Have just won battle against the first group at the Dragon's Eye. I can now use summons which will make it easier for a while. Working my way slowly therough hordes of Lizard Men. I can foresee a problem if I don't get a useful drop. The only way that I can make a fire is with the oil that the...

Helm of trusted defender can't be used for a dwarf. :( I only have about 3000gp and I could do with more potions, but so far, so good.

Thanks. I think that I'll do the same. I have been storing stuff in a bookshelf just south of the armoury so that I can sell job lots of small bows +1 and the like when I have a number of them. That bookshelf is getting overfull now! I've now come across a bug. When I cast glyphs of warding the...

I couldn't use the ring that Myrkul's Sending was carrying, but by selling it I was able to by the scarab of goodwill, and by using it was able to buy the Clasp of Bron's Cloak. Not much gold left now though. I used silence on the skeletal mage which made her susceptible to attack from my...

Where there was room for manouvre I actually took on five yetis at a time. The battle against Myrkul's Sending was touch and go. Neither summoned skeletons, nor my sling touched it and it had allies. Eventually the allies were dealt with and I was able to heal myself, but a VERY close...

Yes, I'd noticed that summons don't set off traps! What I also noticed is that it is usually possible to go round the traps, so all that you need is detect traps! Clerics have that! That is why I am trying a fighter/cleric. It probably won't work, but in trying it I will learn a lot about the...

Here is my character. Fighting the orcs I can kill three before resting: rather time-consuming but safe. I was rather disappointed when the first drop was a pair of boots of stealth: completely useless for my character apart from the fact that I could sell them. The shield or the girdle that...

My favourite game is still Baldur's Gate which says it all.

I've just dealt with the enemies you have just mentioned using different tactics, I sent summoned skeletons to fight the exploding skeletons in melee, meanwhile the party used ranged weapons. When the skeletons exploded, my summoned skeletons were immune to their damage, and my party were far...

This time my illusionist/thief located the first priest using stealth, cast web and used fireballs. This did enough damage to make the battle manageable. having healing available from the priestess that we rescued is making the other areas a bit easier though the undead are quite tricky. This is...

We have progressed to the Dragon's Eye and are coming up to the place where the party was last wiped out. I am therefore going to bed so that I can approach it with a clear head tomorrow! :)

I couldn't find the missing key so restarted and have returned. This time I used web against Mytos with the result that the battle was easy.

We stored the yeti pelts, sold the splint mail and replaced it with plate mail. Replenished bullets and arrows, and slept. All unidentified loot was identified after buying an identify scroll. Now have 3gp. We are now returning to the vale of shadows and investigating behind the closed doors...

Another photo in Icewind Dale. It is actually on the Mardi Himal trek that I went on with my wife. She was having problems breathing when we got to this point which is called High Camp for a very good reason!. It snowed overnight whilst we were there. If you go trekking in Nepal, I would...

We have left Easthaven. No major problems so far. :)

I may try the above party later, however currently I have decided on this one. However after playing it for a while I discovered that a) There is an extreme shortage of throwing axes which was my choice for ranged weapons, and b) a four party wasn't as good as a party of three. I therefore...

Much the same but with an extra fighter. I think that the problem is that I don't know what to expect, so cannot power-game. That is actually making the game more interesting. In the last game, I could have used web if I had known about the Talonite priests. I didn't even have web memorised! In...

The Talonite priests held both Grace and Finnan this resulted in their deaths but Picky escaped. She wasn't able to get to their equipment before it disappeared and she didn't have the gold to raise them. The adventure is therefore effectively over. :( A shame.
