Killing the Meddlesome Old Man

How many of you also get rather annoyed with Mystra's chosen sticking his big nose in Bhaal's business?

The Dark Swordsman 'Ravnhardt' (LE Kensai) and Shar Teel came across this interloper in woods and well, as there weren't any witnesses about, they went ahead and took care of the meddlesome old fool, but alas I fear we haven't seen the last of him. Oh well, Ravnhardt leads an efficient cadre, I'm sure they'll take care of him each and every time!
"WHERE WERE YOU WHEN GORION NEEDED YOU!"


Now where is this Drow ranger everybody's been talking about?

    How did you manage to deal with his Summon Cow spell? The EE added it to him and since then I never managed to kill him again :(

    "He had it coming," as William Munny once said. I cheesed him with traps once and it was very cathartic, but I've never managed to beat him fairly, even with a high level party. He tends to throw a cow at you or turn you into a chicken before booking out of there. Even when I got lucky and tagged him with poison (the old, potent poison) it didn't do enough damage to stop him. But yeah, he's a super annoying, creepy stalker. Even my paladins would have no moral qualms with taking him down.

    Please tell me you can at least loot his pointy hat.

    I really need to do an "evil, psychotic bastard" playthrough, as opposed to "evil guy who is self-serving but not murderous" (which is the usual for me).

    In the more recent patched I've never felled him. Sure, I've done the traps in the past but it's such a hassle now with traps limits and (for me, usually) low trap skills.

    Well Elminster showed back up again, but he definitely wasn't "White" he was more "Red and Screaming" at least before he died again. The chosen of Mystra must have some contingency clones. Maybe the next one will be white?

    "You Again?"



    Ah well, Ravnhardt and crew will use their despised reputation to bait some bounty hunters before making amends at the temple...

    What's your method to kill Elkins terms with Ravnhardt? I would love to try it myself!

    Softly with his song? Sorry for all the flack.

    Right, I'll leave now, just let me get my coat.

    I knew you'd be a problem here the first time ever I saw your face.

    Another clone was stalking Ravnhardt to a secluded country inn, but Shar-Teel managed to get the drop on the creep. This is getting ridiculous!

    "Strumming *His* Pain With *My* Fingers..."



    Ravnhardt thought he heard some Flaming Fist Bounty Hunters casting 'Prep' spells. Oh well, I guess it's time for his dark team to collect some Plate Mail trophies!

    Just don't ask about their equipment budget.

    Ravnhardt and crew finally journeyed to the thriving metropolis of Baldur's Gate, when lo and behold, Baeloth spotted a someone familiar among the throngs of rabble roaming the streets. It wasn't long before the merry band took care of the persistent little creep! ( Sorry @elminster ) They left his loot with his broken body on the bloody cobblestones. Chosen of Mystra meet the Scion of Bhaal!

    "Why won't you die?"


    Perhaps the time has come for our dark troupe to finally travel to Ulgoth's Beard and take care of their little issue...

    Yea well, jokes on you. Elminster isn't done with you yet >:)

    Though from the looks of your party he is going to take a breather until ToB

    Give it up Elminster, the hat's not going to impress anyone if he's the competition.
    Chosen of Mystra, is she blind?
