    [​IMG] Man, is it just me or are these two fights REALLY tough!
    First the slavers in front of Hendak with 2 tough wizards, then the Beastmaster (fighter/druid?) immune to everything for a good while and Tabathia that regenerates really fast and has killer attacks. Not to mention all the other animals!!

    Man this fight used to be a joke, and now it's a real challenge - had to use some pretty clever trciks to get past this one!!

    Good one Sikret.

    I really had a tough time with both of these. These were among the first quests I did in the game, and my guys were fairly low level with really crappy gear and spell selection. The slavers were particularly tough.

    These were both fights that I allowed myself the option to scale back from "core" difficulty to "normal."

    On what difficulty setting did you play when you were facing them? I never had a problem with the slavers. The beastmaster was a problem a few times, until I figured out how to deal with him and his beasties.

    Can't say I had a problem with the Beastmaster. Persistance against him will pay off in the end.

    The slavers were...interesting. Especially after my party 'forgot' the way back into the sewers. :rolleyes: However, this did make the encounter more interesting due to having to struggle through with no sleep. I found it surprisingly enjoyable (apart from when the charmed duegar mage decided to set off a Skull Trap in my party's faces).

    I think part of the reason that the slavers were so challenging for me is because I entered through the front door, and had to work my way back to the boss fight (can't remember his name). So I was pretty well spent on resources by the time I got to that fight, and I really had a tough time with it (with virtually no buffs, healing spells/potions, etc to help me through). The constant attacks from assassins were unexpected, and served to wreak havoc :)

    i was playing core rules, and the beastmaster was really tough, guess my party's low level made it tougher
