First off let me say that I only recently purchased this game and I'm loving it. I also have been appreciating this great board with current responses to a game that is over 8yo. Thanks for staying interested, you all have been very helpful.

Now onto my questions.

Traps have been kicking the crap out of my party. I just finished the Dragon Maw part and it took me two or three times longer than it should have due to the floor traps causing poison and confusion and whatnot. I had hoped that my thief would find and disarm them but either his skill is too low or he's a moron. When I had my cleric cast Find Traps I saw where they were and was able to avoid them for a brief period but still my thief had no interest in disarming them. Am I doing something wrong or should I not have recruited a blind halfling to the group?

Also, sometimes the party just quits on me. I have to close out the game and restart it to get them going again. What gives?

Once I have completed the game what's next? I like the idea of running through it again with a smaller group (currently running with 6, P, F, C, T, B, and M. Old school I know) but is there some downloadable content or expansion packs still available?

Thanks in advance for what I'm sure will be great advice.
