Planar Sphere Quest question

Remove all ads!

When I battled the evil halflings someone hit the front people of my party with something that seemed to stun them for the entire fight. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what it is? It basically knocked me out of the fight before I had started, only had Aerie and Nalia left.

thanks

 

OK, but my question is what the spell was... ;->

 

In the future if something baffles you don't forget to check the battle text. It will tell you what enemy spellcasters have cast at you. As for what spell it could have been, maybe hold person (both mages and clerics get this spell) or maybe since you made it sound like it got several of your chars all at once it was a mass spell like Emotion/Hopelessness which makes your chars lie down. Whatever it was, lower level spells that can help you are Free Action (cleric), Resist/Remove Fear (both, and not for hold person spells but ones like Emotion of Horror), Dispel Magic (both), and minor spell turning (mage, but works on spells directed at mage only, not mass spells). Well there is also a short sword that you can get early in the game from some slavers that "waylay" you-- Arbane's Short Sword +2, grants the user permanent free action while equipped. There is also a ring of Free Action but I cannot remember where I got that ring, just that I love it! Well hope that helps.

 

I ran through there last night, and he threw "Chaos" (level 5 mage) , which is pretty similiar to "confusion" (level 4 mage), except it works against higer level opponents. Level 5 Cleric "Chaotic Commands" is the best defence, other that sneaking a thief up behind that mage in the middle and whacking him upside the head with something big. "Remove Paralysis" works on removing it's effects too, for some weird reason.. If you think someone might throw it, it's best to have your party widely separated so it doesn't get everyone. Or give one person the 'chaotic command' defence and send him out to attract the mage's attention, wait till he trows it, then jump the bad guys.

 

is it just me who finds the monsters in the sphere easy. coz i got a freind who says he could not defeat the dwarfs at the first time round but i just went through them like they were just giblings.

True, HolyGit, but there's a big difference in doing that quest right after irenicus' dungeon or at the end of all chapter 2 quests (and my party of 4 had 2.200.000 exp points at the end of chapter 2...) At high lvl's your saving throws will do the job instead of protection spells... Maybe that made your job easy...

 

OK, not that it matters that much, but the spell made the characters stand completely still for the duration of the combat, there was no hold person globe above their heads, there was no particular glow on them at all. Now that I think about it, the icon that they did have on was probably the confusion icon. (the little shrunken head one) though I remembered the message saying stun. Perhaps they were hit with a stun effect, and then hit with chaos, and they all wound up in the stand still effect of chaos?

 

sounds like Symbol: Stun. But read the text scrolling by.
