I went to talk to her before killing her but she didn't have much to say. So I reloaded at the top of the auditorium and let her have it with meteors. By the time I actually had to fight her she was half dead. It was still a good fight though with her and her little buddies!

fun wasn't it?

but then again, I was low-level and I had to play hide 'n' seek with her and her servants/priests.
lost one member afterwards

I did not even let her speak, lol.
My first encounter with her was face to face & not only did she scare me the way she yelled out "Murderers!" but I was so shaken that I did not hear the rest of what she said and was dead (the whole party) within a matter of seconds from all the spells coming at us from 3 directions!
I reloaded & started firing at her & her friends at the auditorium door..running, praying, throwing spells... running, praying, throwing spells.......
: )
Moni

I think that's the only way.

Magnus - what? the 'praying' part?

...the running part!
