I've been struggling with this guy for so long now, but I have no idea what I am doing wrong. My party is able to kill normal golems and the like pretty quickly and easily, but as soon as I try to fight this guy, they get squished. Any advice, suggestions etc is highly appreciated....

I am starting another BG2 campaign (from BG1/SoD, of course.) Just rescued Aerie. I have never kept her around, and for RPG purposes she won't really fit this time either. And she has no quest (unless you count randy Haer'dalis.) But, I am starting to wonder if I am missing something with her? Anyone have some experience, good or bad, with her? I am keeping her through the Circus Tent but long-term planning of Anonmen (cleric) and Imoen (mage.) But I am curious....

Isn't that like skipping Star Wars 1977 and going straight to the 1980 sequel The Empire Strikes Back? That makes no sense.

In Ust Natha Mother and Phaere are dead killed by Demon have dragons eggs and cleared the city but am unable to do the Qilue and other quests. Do i have to do them first?

Yo Baldur's gate fans, I am playing Shadow of Amn here, 20 hours down the game or so. I am currently in the sewers of the temple district. I encountered Zorl, Tarnor the Hatchetman and Draug fea. I seem to be unable to get out of this fight without casualties, 2 companies sometimes. What is the best thing to do to win this fight? I have the feeling that I need to give my mages protective spells such as resist fear, haste (maybe stone skin). Likewise for my fighter(s). I appreciate your recommendations....
