I'm sure everybody is already familiar with this, but it was a major victory for the forces of right, so i'm gonna post it. I suppose I had better toss up a spoiler thingie anyway, just in case. After all, I finally figured out how to use it.
Anyway, after the battle, I wanted to swap out Jaheira for Yoshimo, to do some thief type stuff, and she went all hissy-fit with me! "Oh if you're going to treat me that way after all this time, I'm leaving and probably won't be back!". That's a paraphrase, but pretty accurate. What's up with that? And before you even ask, no I have not been romancing her. Bad time of the month for her, or what?
I guess the Red Wizard enclave got tired of our hit and run tactics; as soon as we got in the door this time a whole crew of them jumped us. Some guy named Ironhand or Ironbutt or something like that, followed by 8 mercs and 3 wizards. This guy was no joke; he wiped out two fire elementals before we took him down. I thought that might be all of them, but nooooo; another room full of yahoos lay ahead. However, at that point I had Mr. Minotaur and his pals along for the ride, so it was easier than it would have been otherwise. (I was doing it without resting).
Not being fools, the new recruits took off after that battle, leaving us to face Lanneth alone. As they left, they said they were "confident you can defeat the last wizard by yourself". Right. Not only did Lanneth still have a couple of allies left, but she was one tuff broad! The battle raged up and down the corridor and through several rooms. She gave me a schooling on how to use high level wizard type stuff. She had minor sequencer, sequencer, contingency and more cure potions than I could count ... well, ok, half-orcs can't count all that high, but it still seemed like a lot. I finally got a silence spell to stick on her, and she popped off a vocalize spell. Seriously? Who the heck memorizes vocalize???
She did offer to let "King" Gramm go if we threw down our weapons. Wrong thing to say to a half-orc berserker who is already PO'd. We threw everything we had at her, including not only the kitchen sink but a small bathtub before she finally took a dirt nap. And everybody was down to maybe 10% of their health. Whew.

Well, hell! That's annoying. It means I can only do my whole "let's get an all evil group together" plan only once during the entire game. Hmmm, have to make it good when I finally get around to doing it. Or ... does she not care if I recruit a bunch of slimeball thugs?
That doesn't wash with me. Like they're suddenly going to forget I'm a Bhaalspawn and cease their grudge against me? I still have their silly amulet; gonna go in there and burn the place to the ground.
