They die quickly though because their fireballs force you to get em quick, so you may have thought they were just skeletal mages?</STRONG>

The only skeletons I found in the Hand were Armored Skeletons and those ones with scythe blades extending from their arms. Although, there are a few areas on the 3rd floor of the hand that I avoided because I was in a hurry to get to the fourth floor. Still, I don't recall coming across any burning skeletons or skeleton mages.

I'm pretty sure you have to go past them.. Maybe the script for them to appear didn't occur.

I just checked the IWD walkthrough on GB. It's fairly easy to avoid them. When you go up to level 3 of Severed Hand, there are two ways up. One way takes you to where the Goblin Archers, while the other takes you to a battle in which the archers will shoot at you, but can only be reached by ranged weapons. If you go up the one near the archers and head 'southeast,' there are the stairs leading up to level 4 of Severed Hand. As long as you stay out of the 'outer ring' of Severed Hand level 3 at the bottom of the screen and on the left side of the screen, you won't ever see the Burning Skeletons. The other two levels just have bladed skeletons, armored skeletons, scattered souls, severed souls, and shadow goblins/orcs/etc.

You can indeed avoid them. you may have missed an item or two though.

Possibly, but considering how many items I've had to just leave behind due to lack of room in my inventory(one problem with soloing), I'm not too worried about it. At the time, I was more worried about staying alive.

I found it pretty easy to just move slowly, and when you spot one on the screen just nail him with an arrow or two. They dont seem to have many HP, and go down after one or two shots and never get anywhere close to your party.

eah, but I was getting impatient with the level, so just bull rushed my way through.

In the severed Hand, is there anyway to get some animals for that man?
I can't remember his name or what tower he is in.
I have even tried taking dead cats, from that magic bag, and puttng them in front of him to see if it does anythin.....

I send of a hasted Mage against Ettins,then i pelt them with snillocs snowball swarm ( sp?) and fire balls, also Chromatic orb, which holds them most of the time.
