    When my party enters the graveyard, they don't even make it 5 seconds before half of them are dead or dominated. The vampires are on them before they have a chance to cast any protection spells as well. So, I tried casting spells somewhere else before they enter, but that doesn't work. I've also tried having them sleep somewhere so they can enter in daylight...that doesn't work.....it's always been dark when I've entered. And where the sam hill is all the assistance (assassins and paladins)that's supposed to show up?? Grrrr..... My party is in need of assistance.

    In order for us to help you, we need to know who is in your party, what level are they and what equipment they are using.

    Give me that and I will give you the answer. :D

    The assistance is in the area underground, and to get there, you have to fight throuhg those vampires. Try using Protection from Undead scrolls on your party members (they can generally be bought from temples and other such places) and the spell Negative Plane Protection. Also, if you're having real trouble, you could cast some contingency spells or sequencers before you go into the area for some quick fire spells.

    Equip any items that prevent domination and level drain before going in. And the back-up isn't in the graveyard, but inside Bodhi's lair. Protect your cleric and cast sunray. Also use the blade you got from the lich from the city gate area if you have it.

    Use Free Action or Chaotic Commands spells to protect your party from Domination.

    If you can cast a false dawn or two, or sunray as mentioned above that will make them easy also. I'm generally not in favor of casting your protections before your character would have knowledge of an impeding encounter, but this is one tough nut and if you have the intelligence of a goose, you know you're going to face vampires at the graveyard, so casting some chaotic commands ahead of time is prudent (they last a long time). Casting negative protection or other short duration spells probably isn't in the spirit of roleplay.
    I assume you have the necklace from the thieves guild and the mace of disruption (two items that prevent level drain). I always wear helmets of charm protection on two or three party members when I know we'll be facing vampires. Keldorn or other inquisitors can't be dominated by the way.

    My Mario didn't lose lives either, but I still gathered all the 1-up mushrooms in the game.

    And did you even read the question? He already had done that, but they don't show up outside Bodhi's lair, which was the part he had trouble with. :rolleyes:

    Please write back telling who is in your party and what levels they have reached. Also important to know would be any magical equipment you have that might be useful in the fight.
    You are not going to find the help you requested until you reach the crypts. You should find them in the room on the northwest with the bloodbath; in the room where you origionally found the Mace of Disruption.
