  1. I played this with a level 13 party on torment. It was actually a little tough, not too tough, but I bet it would be pretty tough at level 1. I liked the plot. I liked that forced you to think a bit. (spoilers below) It would have been an easy scenario for the level 13 party I had, except I had the goal of keeping the NCP player alive, all the way through to the end. Getting her through the skeleton gauntlet was a major pain in the butt. I think the addition of the NCP player is nice because it gives the lower level players some extra help while evening things out for the higher level players if they want to make the game harder by keeping her alive. A short, enjoyable, ideally creepy little scenario. I pity anyone with a level 1 party who attempts it on torment though.
  2. I think everybody who has played Avadon but not the Avernum series needs to go play at least one of the first six of the Avernum series...and probably Geneforge 5 too. The combat seems so very limited in Avadon. I particularly miss Geneforge and Avernum mind control powers. I don't like the sorcerer's shoddy little attempts at mind control in Avadon. I want to be able to friggin' brainwash entire mobs wth ease to do my evil bidding. The storyline is still good though, and that's the primary reason why I've played Spiderweb games anyway.
  3. I beat him with with a singleton slith mage using no items on torment...not that it's easy, so much as that I have no life. step 1: go onto his ledge and do 2 minor summons before he sees you. Buff them up as much as you can. You won't need much magic left for yourself. step 2: attack him, or wait till your summons do. Try to keep your monsters alive with healing till he splits into three people. If one of your summons dies after he splits in half, but before he splits into thirds, run away and heal (a long trip back down). Return and distract him with monsters till he splits into thirds. Run away and heal. step 3: There's an open space before his ledge that none of hims are usually at. Summon monsters and buff them. sneak around corner and lure only one Lystaak into the alcove with your monsters by using a long range attack on lystaak when only one Lystaak is in view. Run, quick like a bunny back to your monsters. step 4: keep your monsters alive. They can't take much damage, but they can do lots of damage. Continue hacking at him/healing your monsters, till he's done. Run away to heal. step 5: repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other two Lystaaks. I had lots of mage spells but minor heal was my strongest priest spell. I was heavily armored though.
