Damn these bitches are tough. I try turning them, but that doesn't work (I have a level 23 paladin). I try the bard song that's supposed to negate sound attacks, but that doesn't work either.

Any help is welcome!

TIA

Hhmm, didn't your arrow and fireball barrage not cut them down this time? I told you the many multi-classed chars weregoing to be a problem.

So you are on the Burial Isle Barrow. Ok, remember, there are several exits, kill everything else that move in the area before you go "get them". Kill them one at a time (if)/as nessesary and keep moving to the exits and so on. Use all the items you can think of, cast Bless AND Chant spells together, as they stack. Use Silence 15' Radius if you can(2nd level cleric spell) etc. disabling spells that have even a small chance of doing what they do best, but use plenty of them so they'll success at some point.

Thanks for the snooty remark. One of my mages can cast 9th level spells, and both divine casters have 7th level spells. Multiclassing has only made this game easier.

I'll try other spells.

How did you get those characters so high level so quickly?

By playing the normal game, as it should be, before the HoF game.

I here that Sol's Searing Orb is a good spell against those things(undead). But you are most probably already using that, but not enough perhaps. And by the way, I never said that you couldn't have high level spells... but you have to use all the spell levels that you are given, and not all the high level spells are as good as the should be.

I've played this game on HoF mode from the very beginning.

No worries, I can understand the first reaction you got from my message, as I was tired when I wrote the message, so I didn't give more instructions on the combo effects of Bless, Chant, Prayer, Recitation, Righteous Wrath of the Faithful, cause honestly, I still don't know, as I haven't tried... but in theory most of them stack.

Then there is also the curse effects of Doom, Prayer, etc. that can be used to lower the enemy saving throws, that makes it easier to, web the enemy into a death trap.

Another tactic is to call few dosen of skeletons(Animate Dead) with the mages and clerics as bone shield and keep the distance. But then again, it works to nearly everykind of enemy, but it's taxing, in time and especially of your nerves, when you for the 100th time command them to the other direction.
