Talking Warders are no match for my fighter-thief **SPOILER**

After playing BG2 for awhile, I was feeling a bit nostalgic and decided to play BG1 again, this time with an elven fighter-thief, whom I plan to import into BG2. So, last night, I finally got my party to Durlag's Tower, and just finished the level with the Four Warders. I decided to keep my party out of sight, and let my PC go it alone.

Before confronting the Four Warders, I first had him drink a Potion of Perception to boost his Stealth skill, then had him drink a Potion of Storm Cloud Giant Strength, Potion of Heroism, Potion of Invulnerability, and finally a Potion of Haste. After he spoke to Love, he ran around a corner and then hid. Fear followed him, so he backstabbed him, first, and dropped him in two hits. He next targetted Avarice, by shooting him with an arrow to get him to follow, and backstabbed him. After exchanging a few blows, Avarice went down rather quickly. Pride must have heard the commotion, because he came running up. My PC ran and hid, then backstabbed him. After a couple more backstabs, Pride went down, too. Finally my PC went after Love (being careful to avoid the area where someone fired off Cloudkill), and backstabbed him, too. He quickly went around the corner and hid as Love started to fire off a spell that he never completed. He came back and backstabbed Love again (with a critical hit), and Love, too, fell to my PC. The battle was over in less than 5 minutes.
