-The Sunfire scroll in Ribald's store says "handcuffed". I've never seen this before.


Yes, Raven has reported this to me as well. The scroll works fine. It's just its description which is messed. Will fix.

-During the fight with the shade lich Haer'Dalis, wielding Greater Entropy, hit him once and the confused symbol is shown above the lich's head. But the lich acts totally normal.


He is immune to confusion. Will fix it so that the animation doesn't show either. Thanks.

@Spike and LZJ

SPOILER!
I tested Warden in my own game and failed to reproduce any of the issues you reported. The point is that as soon as you use the orb, Warden kills thralls and approaches you immediately. He doesn't stand where he was waiting for you. Consequently, the exploit LZJ reported about gaining infinite xp by killing planar hounds without the warden interfering is not doable in my game. The invisible trap which triggers the second group of Yuan-Tis and Minonaturs near the warden will not triggerif you don't go near warden's original place (unless you practice cheesy running methods and try to run around the place instead of standing and fighting).

I have asked Raven to test it as well, but from what I see in my game, if a player doesn't play cheesily (i.e. doesn't run), he won't have to face any more creatures than Warden and his planar hounds. Warden will not summon those extra planar hounds if you do not run either.

I will send more updated info after more tests and after receiving Raven's report. Perhaps there is some possibilities which I have failed to notice. We shall see.

Cheers

UPDATE: Also, see my own report of the battle with Warden in its related thread.

Back in action. Currently im in Ust Natha.
Damn the two drow ambushes were extremly hard. Had to use some tactics, which Sikret probably count as cheesy methods.
Now i have a question to the the new quest with Amariel and the color of her ring.

SPOILER!
Which is the correct name of the petrified boy? Tried every combination, but he always dies.


@Sikret
1)In City of Caverns the rebel Prince sometimes doesnt attack properly and doesnt summon his minions. I think it depends on the dialogue with the guard at the entrance to his cave:
Option 3(direct attack)-> Prince dont do anything at all
Option 1,2(Negotiations, i had the sign from priest), then attacked him->everything fine

2)Better rewards for the very hard drow ambushes, please?

3)Concerning Noble Efreeties: Why cant i breach them, lowering their saves work and is a lvl 4 spell?

4)In Spellhold:SPOILER!
Is the number of amber golems at the crystal set fix to 4 or is it possible that there will be fewer? Im just curious , because in my final attempt were only 3


5)Cat o'nineLives has to be stronger. Beat her in my first try without buffs.

@Spike:

SPOILER!

If you have not asked her brother's name when you met Amariel, you won't have the right option at the final stage of the quest. You should either reload to an old saved game before talking to Amariel or you have to continue the game without doing this quest. It's all intentional, of course.

The one at the bridge is not too hard; but as I said, I will tone down the other ambush for the next version.

I will check it.

Yes, in fact it was tested by myself and I tested it in this way (I didn't test it with direct attack). Everything worked fine as you said.

As for the noble efreeties:

SPOILER!
Noble Efreeties are immune to Breach. They are not immune to spells of any certain level.


QUOTE

I agree. I have already improved her in my local version. Also note that with the new encounter in the library in the next version of the mod (which will trigger immediately after killing the cat), the difficulty of the whole area will increase considerably, because immediately after killing the cat, you will have to face a special lich without any time to buff.
Sikret
Spike,

I have two questions regarding Prince Villynaty:

Did he drop his usual loot after being killed after you attacked him directly (even though he didn't fight properly)?

Do you have a saved game to test him again if I send you a fix file?
Spike
