    I've said it before and I'll say it again. 15 sequenced fireballs will fix any problem.

    Cloudkills, Shield of Balduran, Melfs Minute meteors... Nope. Thats not what I want to see. For others - thanks, i will definitely try your strategies.
    What do you of my own hit&run (In shadow hidden Valygar with boots of speed and Heartseeker longbow) strategy?

    And all of you you didnt answer one of the primary questions that i posted twice btw: IS there any resistance or anti-magic or saving throw for cause critical/serious wounds? how can i avoid it?

    And Dauntalus, how do you imagine launching 15 (!) sequenced fireballs to these poor gauths? How many rounds would it take? How many spells can you put in one sequencer? 2? 3? I would be dead after 4 fireballs for sure. I think I would even be in that state after 1st sequencer...

    I was rather low-level when I did this quest (first one I did in Chapter 2 practically). They hurt me bad... I used invisibility (potions for some) to get up to them, arrange around and beat the crap out of them. Actually managed to not lose a character, until 8 or so shadows etc came trumping down as I finished up the battle. *sigh*

    Reply to Kasio's post...hide-hit-run?

    Could work when you have a dozen potions of invisibility with you. Otherwise Valygar DIES in 10 seconds! MWHAHAHAHA

    I know that stalkers can stealth. :p

    But...he must become visiblie when he attacks, aye?

    And after that...because the Gauths were hostile, he can't hide back.(You can't hide when seen by an enemy, not even with 185 % hide in shadows ability. Belive me, I have tried it, but it doesn't work.)

    Truly said...Kasio...your Valygar has just one or two hit before he is torn apart!

    Yours is a strategy I would not likely try at home.(Sorry to say that, but I don't see any chance of success in it.)

    But...if you use some potions of invisibility you mustn't run away to hide again. So after a backstab is made drink an hide fast./with this you can finish one for sure/

    Why not use Yoshimo for backstabbing? At level 15(he levels up very quickly)he did once 78 damage with a single hit and 122 damage with a critical hit!

    I would prefer to use him if I were you, because he sets traps also.

    Note that trap setting is an in game feature, it is NOT a cheat to use it!
