    What level are you?

    Have you finished the Fedex quests, what about Delko grove, Emridy Meadows, and have you gone fishing near Nulb?

    Make sure everyone has a magic weapon and good armor. You can always just do some walking on the world map to farm some XP. If you run into the other adventuring party, kill them and take their stuff, if you feel you need someone else, and you run across the wandering bard, he is actually pretty good fighter and archer, as well as a backup healer and spell caster. his stats are amazing good, you'd be lucky to roll his numbers.

    I feel a good gauge is when you can handle multiple trolls, you are ready for the Temple's lower levels.

    I know you are running the basic game, probably better to enjoy the expanded content on your next run, it will seem like a different game.

    Fedex quests back in Homlett, talk to everyone you see, some need you to do things for them, one opens up another world map. Most are inter-connected, A wants you to do X, but to do X, you need to do Y for person B, etc. There are a few of these in Nulb as well, including a way into the Temple, but I don't recommend going that route until at least 4th level.

    The radial menu has Coup De Gras, which is a killing move on unconscious opponents. Once you get the trolls on the ground, use coup de Gras to kill them dead. I think it's under attack options. Or you can deal lethal damage to trolls using fire and/or acid, but that way just takes too much energy. Coup de gras is the best option.

    acid & fire are the only two things which can kill of a troll. Spells like Acid splash(lvl 0), Burning hands (lvl 1), Produce flame (lvl 1), Flame arrow (lvl 2), Melf's acid arrow (lvl 2), etc are THE essentials if you're hunting trolls.
    But first you just incapacitate the trolls with your normal weapons, and once they're on 0 or less HP, then you let loose the spells on them. Happy hunting! ;)

    Hi
    Just so you know, you don't need ANY spells to kill Trolls. Granted hitting a group of them with Fireball or Flamestrike makes it easier to do so because they won't "heal" that damage. As Sir Chet pointed out all you have to do is reduce them to 0 Hit Points, select "Coup De Grace" from the Attack section of the radial menu and click on the trolll.

    Hi Mr. K
    You are correct. Once they are "unconscious" and laying on the ground you can use Coupe De Grace (or as I like to call it CDG) them.

    Yes I concentrated on the hag and the behemoth toad and then dealt with the darn lizard men. I had found the bard that wonders around and got him to join me.

    I was wondering if hiring otis is worth it?

    I have entered the temple. Were you get the robes. Were should I go from here?

    Ok so I am doing a quest for the fire temple. I have to get the ogres to join me, do I have to use non-lethal force or can I kill them?
