My progress, spoilers Options

Hi

I am playing improved anvil right now.I finished IA3 and there's
certeinly a diffrence in it.It's tougher .

I'm playing with a sorcerer protagonist.I did the boo kidnapping
quest and right after I got in the grove the 3 trolls ran after
my sorcerer and ignored everyone else.

There's a bug where the trolls remain on near death and just won't fall
down.

After I got out from the irenicus dungeon I went to the graveyard
to look for items.On the getting out I was ambushed by suna sei
and friends and they killed me a lot.

I got lucky with a confusion scroll that got the somehow.
How did you defeat them in the beginning?Interupting them
from casting greater command and confusion?
The mages are a problem without breach and weak dispel.

I tried to go and get Keldorn but the party in the sewers is tough.

I got liliacor,rescued jan and viconia and little quests from
other mods.I think the next ones I'll try will be the circus and
trademeet.

Another question is with the oasis in TOB.Did it in IA3.There's
lots of gem golems and a few mages.I couldn't win it without serious
cheese.Kelsey mirror imaged himself,landed tons of comets
and all his spells,than I killed the image and did it about 10
times.

How do I win the battle?Is there a way to kill the golems faster?
I usually bring all the fighter on them with hammers,maces and it
still takes a lot of time to get rid of them.And than they summon more.

Some golem slayer kit or equipment or spells like reducing physical
resistence will be lovely addition to IA5.

The no stealing from shops came as a surprise.Usually in the beginning
I buffed a thief and took every usful equipment I could find.
Now it not even possible to charge the wands like that.

BTW,is there any progress with the Mansur NPC?

Edit:After a long fight and lots of reloads I defeated the founder
of trademeet.All of my party and summons to take his blows surrounded
him and it took lots of minutes and healing to take him down.

The tough thing about him was the magic resistence and he summond a lot
of skeleton warriors and I think he had physical resistence.

Is there a fast way of defeating him?

Edit2 21/4:

Finished thieves guild quest,was really easy.Tried the sewer party
again and got defeated again.My party is levels 10 so can't deal
yet with all the spells.The mages are tough.
I also did the murders in the bridge district and the ghost in the
grave yard.

Edit 24\4:Somehow my brother did hard disc cleaning and erased my saves
and BG2.So I'm reinstalling and restarting.This time to save time
in the beginning I'm not installing improved illych.

I started a new TOB game without IA.One character vs. Illesira and
she was ridiculously easy.When I did it with IA4.1 it reminded
more of a scene from a predetor movie with the addition of her 5
party members.

Edit 26/4:Been a bit busy.still got to install mod NPCs and IA
and start a new game.

Ok,I defeated Thershal,the zombie before the beholder lair and I think I
found a little bug here.
Keldorn approach to turn him hostile and after he will raise his defenses
he will use his dispel magic.Somehow he went to him invisble,Thershal
casted true sight,than there was the dialog,don't remember excatly what
I did but I was suprised when he didn't cast defensive spells
and storm of vengence.

He did cast one armor of faith though.

And naturally enough he was fire resistent and magic resistence.
My fighter(Keldorn,Minsc)are about 1000000 XP and it took lots of
time to take him out in melee.In the beginning he probably had potions
or regenerated or healed himself with spells as he kept moving back
from barely injured to uninjured.

After a death spell killed 5 skeleton warriors I just meleed him
and casted 5 lower resist and tried to find spells that will reduce
his health.Haven't tried Melf's arrow.Sikret,is he vulnurable to acid?

He is a zombie.Thought fire would get him.
