Those difficult and challenging fights in MotB can really be a bitch.
I remember the Mummy Priests, Death Gods and Vampire Monks in the Lower Vault too. Fearsome.
One time I *eternal rested* every single one of them. Took me like 10 hours or more cause there is a 5min cooldown timer for Eternal rest. Of course you can't just go in there and attack them with a MotB-style weapon - you'll accidently kill them.
The best is you use a non-magical sword, so you can get them to *near dead* without causing to much damage. All the while they attacked me with their awesome powers and... knocked me down once in a while. This is always an adrenalin-rushing moment.
There is also a -pristine essence- Lich King down there. He is as dangerous as all the other Liches in NWN games so beware. Best is you cast a buff beforehand, maybe Greater Haste and should you not find Greater Haste in your Spellbook just try Magearmor or something. Then unleash a proper Grease spell. That will teach him.
But honestly, MotB has a lot of cool moments. But those are not combat-related.
Here's another anecdote:
You likely know that you can free the lich Maric from the Imaskari-rod and then in the Sunken City he can briefly join your Party. There will be special dialogue with the Ankhriva lich and his minions in there. In several of my games different things happened.
Sometimes combat ensues, sometimes OneOfMany scared some of his minions away and then combat ensued, sometimes Maric gave his *I am more orsum lich than Ankhriva*-speech and some of Ankhrivas minions changed side before combat, but last time something happended that never happened before and totally surprised me.
First OoM scared some Undeads away, then Maric gave his speech and then Ankhriva - obv intimidated - subdued to Marics power and swore to be his servant , ready for his commands.
How awesome is that?
