    [​IMG] I rescued Haer Dalis and he told me to retrieve a gem and return it to the Theater. I think I sold the jem on accident. Any body remember what type of gem it was and where it was found inside Marketh's house? I think I need to go by it back from Ribauld.

    I don't think you can sell the gem!

    Its found in the alter, - not on his body.

    I went back and double checked the altar and the gem was not there. So I must have picked up the Gem and sold it.

    So does anybody know what type of gem it was or what it was called? I need to go and buy it back.

    OK since nobody else responded, I'll try to remember... It's not a regular gem, so don't go and buy one of every gem from Ribauld. IIRC it doesn't even look like a regular gem... it looked like a blue ring or collar, and it was called something like "portal gem" I think...

    Hope that helps...

    Definately a blue "portal gem". It sorta looks like a clam. I actually suspect it might be needed further down the track so i'm undecided as to whether i'll give it up or not..

    Thanks Guys! Everyone really came though on this one. Got the Gem back and went to the prison. It was pretty easy. Cleared it first time with a 10-11th level party. Neat quest!

    I believe I did this the "easy way", and by the time I got there the warden was killed by the 5 Umber Hulks, who then came for me... I sure don't find Umber Hulks easy, but maybe I just don't know the right way to handle them...

    Hmmm... Yeah, I have various items that provide protection from confusion, and I just put a protected guy up front, and the Hulks all waste their confusion on him, but they're extremely fast, do a ton of damage, and take a bit of a pounding before going down... I have no problem with 1 or 2 of them at a time, but 5 was a very large handful...

    The Hulks in Icewind Dale were MUCH different (and MUCH easier IMO); I could usually drop them before they came close enough to use their gaze... though their gaze affected everyone in range, not just the targeted person...

    Thanks for all the input everyone!

    I must say that the only two things that gave me problems were the Umber Hulks and the one portal to a room full of WereWolves.

    YES!!! The umber hulks are MUCH TOUGHER than the ones in IWD. I used my ranger with a cloak of non-detection to do a little recon. Once I found them I cast Chatoic commands on my party. I ran the ranger just with in bow range. I had her pop out of the shadows, fire a shot off and run like hell. I then lanched both an Entangle spell as well as a web in their path. Only one got through. Diced Him with my front-line Meele fighters and Fire balled the hell out of the ones stuck.

    I like my Umber-Steaks well done.

    I then; of course, bounced my ranger into the portal with the werewolves (I think they were werewolves) and she was immeadately slaughtered. Then they came up to join the party. Luckly right into my web mess.

    I love Jaheria's Harper Call Spell.

    In the end I though both the Ta'Nari (sp?) and the Warden were both over rated. Although, the battle would have been much tougher if the wardn still had control of the Trall when I got there.

    [​IMG] Hmmm... I must've taken the "really easy way", because I can't remember seeing any Umber Hulks there at all. Well, it's Sunday morning, so that may be part of it :).

    Really? Wow... There were 10 of them in there for me... There were 5 with a Minotaur a couple of rooms east of the entrance, then 5 more and another Minotaur in with the warden, and I think it was one of them that killed the warden while under confusion for me.
