What tactics will allow a level 13 party to kill Vadek? I have no problem chopping up Lady Galvenus, but my only +4 weapon is Melf's Minute Meteors. The space is constricted with a "good" girl in the midst of the area of effect (don't want to hit her) and of course there is no way that I know of to bring down Vadek's spell protections (don't have multiple scrolls of Ruby Ray). My current party consists of kensai 13, fighter 7-mage 13, sorcerer 13, ranger 7-cleric 13, swashbuckler 15, and fighter-illusionist multi - levels are apx.

IIRC Vadek doesn't use Remove Magic (or at least he doesn't use it more than 1 time). So first of all give protection from Fire and Electricity to your characters. Prot. from M.Energy would be also very good since he casts many ADHWs IIRC. Also he uses MMMs, so keep the character he is targetting as close as possible to him in order to get a penalty to his THACO (since MMMs are a missile weapon). Unfortunately you won't be able to bring down his SI since you don't have Ruby Ray. But attacking in melee and with the above protections he will not be able to damage you enough. (BTW Sikret had correctly given SI: Divination to some of the Mages of early-mid game and I suggested that they would be more effective with Abjuration without thinking that the player can't have Ruby Ray in early game. Sorry  )If he uses A.Immunity wait for its duration to run out. And MMMs have been tweaked in IA, they are now +3 enchanted. If you still have problems with him, summon a couple of lesser summons to waste his Death Spells (or use the Wand of Monster Summoning) and then give him a Nishruu to play with. |

Vadek is one of those smart mages who won't waste all of his Death Spells on your lesser summoned creatures and will reserve some for your powerful summons (such as Nishruus).  -------------------- Improved Anvil
 Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating. |

Hmm OK  .Rbeverjr don't forget that you have a powerful party with 3 Mages. Even if you don't have PfMEnergy you can use Mirror Image or SI: Necromancy on your Mages for those ADHWs  Besides you don't have to attack with all your characters. I am sure that with all these protections you can kill him. It's just a matter of time. |
