I'm having some probs facing the Twisted Rune, in particular the lich in there. His horrid wilting spells annihilate Aerie, Tashia and sometimes the PC Fighter/Thief in one volley.
I have tried casting Protection from Magical Energy, which is described when right clicked as conferring 100% immunity to spells like magic missile and horrid wilting. However that didn't seem to help at all.
I'm loathe to part with all my saved up protection from magic and undead scrolls, so am looking for an alternative way of dealing with it.
Also, when casting spell immunity, I thought I was supposed to be able to select a school? When Aerie casts it, it just goes off... and I don't get to make a choice. I tried casting spell immunity (planning to select necromancy), but it didn't help. I figured it was because I never got to select necromancy?
I have two PCs, one ranger class archer and one fighter thief. Also in my party is Tashia, Solaufein, Minsc, and Aerie. The two PCs have just hit around their first TOB high level selection (being imported from incompleted previous SOA games). I have plenty of scrolls of protection, but don't want to part from them. Tried putting a golem in from of us for him to target and run like hell, but he really likes his wilting spells it seems.
I have weapons capable of damaging them, I have ruby ray of reversal to take care of high level defences, breach, etc. My main problem is just surviving the lich's wilting attacks. I tried removing his spell protections and hitting him to disrupt his casting, but it never seems to work. Even Tashia's spellstrike won't go off fast enough.
And is it just me or my traps don't seem to hurt the lich anymore? :\ Should I perhaps wait till I have spike trap?
Help anyone?
Pleeeeaaaaaseeeeee?

I'd just like to comment on the underwater city... giving all of the sahaugin paralytic bolts was one nasty idea. However, I had Aerie decked out with the shield of reflection and was able to get past fairly easily after the initial shock. However, I think there might be a balance issue. I now have an archer with a crossbow of speed, over 200 kuo-tuo paralysing bolts and over 1000 paralytic bolts too. Until I met the twisted rune again, the procedure against hard opponents was to paralyse them using crossbows of speed fired from my archer with Minsc and my fighter/thief firing if needed.
Anyway, I really need help with the Twisted Rune, I'm going nuts!
Anyone, ideas please! :\
