Sorry you had a problem with those, Row, and wish I could help more. Are you sure it's necessary to get into the locked room at the imp's place? Did you backtrack and see if the Dragon was in a room you had already been in? And you did get the eye on the other floor first, right? Re the scroll, did you see the trash heap in the next room to where you fought the dragonrider? There's the main room, then you're kind of in a hallway, and then a smaller room? Great that you found Zandalor! Did you happen to look in the other rooms at the council place and find a hiding imp? Like one of the top rooms to the left? Josephina is a tough customer! I reloaded many, many times. What worked for me, is I took a black potion to be invisible, got up right next to her, and started zapping her with spells- can't recall which, but I think the one that does three at one time (lightning, poison and ?). If she sees you first it makes it much harder. If I was losing, I hotfooted it back to the ladder to get healthy on the above floor, and then did the same thing again, since she doesn't get healthy at the same time. A weapon with freeze on it works great. I didn't use any of them, but I heard blind works well on her, the warrior special move works well, and scorpion traps too. Finally after days and dozens of attempts, I got lucky.

Row you've been a busy little adventurer  I am on my way right now to Stormfist Castle to do battle with the Divine One  Hopefully you nailed all the baddies so I can just breeze through. I'm just a scooch away from Level 34 - Oh brother this Josephine doesn't sound good

Syd and Row, She's the worse and I mean the worse. Follow Nickie's suggestions And Zanthia's and you will survive. She's the toughest cookie out there in my modest opinion. It took me about 3-4 days to get rid of her, lot's of small hits and saves. Have lots of potion with you, make sure weapons are repaired and lots of strong spell cast. Good luck you two Ingie _________________________________________________ Playing Morrowind Finished Divine Divinity and Zanzarah GhostMaster on hold for patch Summoner waiting on me

Just made it out of the dungeon and through the graveyard so I'm off to buy more potions and get my armor repaired before I try anything else. Then it's back underneath to try and find Zandalor. I think Iona put a stupid spell on me before she locked me in the cell however  When I found my stuff in the chest I had heart failure when I saw that I had 1,569 items (my back hurts just thinking about all the stuff I was carrying) and I started moving each item individually back into my inventory, thinking that it was going to take all night to do this. After about 15 minutes of draging inventory (yes people, I'm slow sometimes) I finally said to myself, "self, click on it instead!" Well, darn if it didn't just zip in after that

I did the same thing, Syd  As you are walking out of the graveyard, on one of the paths close by you should meet a salesman. Don't miss that quick quest (finding Shrimpo) for a real good laugh. Did you meet the former King's ghost?

Whew, glad I'm not the only one that had to be hit over the head with a 2 x 4  I missed the salesman at the graveyard - can I go back and meet him? Yep I saw the dead king's ghost - gave him the good news and he disappeared on me. I'm right now roaming around the Council of Seven Chambers looking for the succubus. It's sooooo nice to have my magic back - I was a lost puppy down in them there dungeons without it. Found the teleporter stone but it's not working - something is blocking it (don't ask me what - that's just what my self said). Guess I need to go smack who's ever causing all this trouble

Way to go Row!! You deserve a good rest now, but can't because The or is she is a very good question. But she's hard to whip no matter when you see her. That was fast! How does one get to be that nasty??tsk, no upbringing Oh Syd, don't miss the salesman, it's just too funny Ingie __________________________________________________ Playing Morrowind-got map instructions so happy Tribunal and Blood Moon loaded Ghost Master on hold for patch-due soon Finished Divine Divinity and Zanzarah Waiting for Riftrunner and DD2 Summoner waiting for me And gasp Baulder Gate Trio is on it's way to my house.

Oh way to go Row!!!  I haven't even found Josephina yet - just beat the succubus and got poor Zandalar released from his cage. Now I'm off to find council members. I want my teleporter pyramids <img border="0" alt="  " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> I did activate the Council of Seven teleporter stone so at least I can get out of there if I want to. Looks like now I just need to activate the one at the Imps Deserted castle - where ever that is

Go look around the council building if you want your teleporters.

There is a staff that is sometimes very easy to miss. And one time I even found it but it was "stuck" in a wall. If you can't find it, it may have fallen somewhere outside the room, as it did for me that one time. If that is the case, you may have to redo the battle. If you don't relish the thought of that, get some scorpions, go down the ladder, drop 2 or 3 of them and go back up the ladder. Then go back down and most of the enemies should be dead. You can also throw a couple of scorpions at Herself.
