This was a great fight. I played a paladin with Deekin and Nathy. My saving
grace was that I had
3 levels of rogue where I maxed out use magic item. I was able to win the
fight by a combination
of scrolls and melee. I never thought to use lay on hands to take out the
undead. Great idea! I noticed
the henchman die in like 2 seconds so I had Deekin sing before the combat
starts. I really enjoyed the
OC, SOU, and HOTU. I'm looking for mods now but haven't found any that have
kept my attention.
I've tried Pools of Radiance, Twighlight, something Mountain, but all have
had very lacking dialogue
or puzzles that irritated me.
