Siege of Dragonspear Legacy of Bhaal Difficulty Guide Part 6 - How to Kill the Necromancers
8Heading into the Underground River we make our way to the ruins of Kanaglym. The ghost of a dragon threatens us not to continue, but the shrewd adventurer can discover that the Ghost is acting against her will. Proceed past the ghost dragon into Kanaglym and the Dragon reveals that she is under the spell of the Necromancer Kherriun. Our best strategy for this encounter is to do a sneak attack and focus Kherruin with all our damage, killing her frees the dragon to fight as our ally. This is a good opportunity to demonstrate the power of spell sequencing. Head over to the Coalition Camp and purchase Minor Sequencer, Secret Word and Invisibility 10' Radius from Belegarm if you haven't already. Invisibility 10' Radius will allow our party to get in the perfect position for a sneak attack. Minor Sequencer lets us store two spells of level two or lower to be cast simultaneously, in order to do a high amount of burst damage, let's prepare two Magic Missiles. Secret Word is a good spell that can strip mage protection that Kherriun uses.
Summon your Skeletons and cast your buffs before getting your party into position, then hit Kherriun with everything you've got. With a little luck, you should be able to take her down quickly with the blast of Magic Missiles, Secret Word and regular attacks from your archers and skeletons. Once she's down we retreat with the party, leaving the skeletons behind to cover our escape. The Dragon is now our ally and should have little difficulty finishing the battle, and Safana can assist safely from a distance with spells like Cloudkill and Slow. Be careful not to hit any of the innocent 'sacrifices" trying to escape.
Spell Sequencing opens up powerful spell combinations for a mage, and this tactic will be very helpful in the endgame battle. However, just using level two spells or lower limits our options. Hopefully, you've got one more charge left in the Spectacles of Spectacle because once Kanaglym is cleared there is an opportunity to use it to pull the Lich Zhadroth into the Prime. Use 'The Secret Revealed' Gem on the LIch, just like we did in the previous episode, to weaken him and make him a much easier challenge. Once the LIch is defeated he drops the Robe of Arcane Aptitude which has the power to cast Spell Sequencer once per day. Spell Sequencer is a level 7 spell that works like Minor Sequencer except you can store 3 spells of level 4 or lower. This will allow for more creative combinations of spells and will be a tremendous asset in the endgame of Seige of Dragonspear.
