Can't summon Deva or Planetar

This is starting to piss me off. My sorc had a hard time defeating the foes in WK L4 without planetars. For some reason the game thinks I already have one summoned even when I don't have. Any way to fix this?

Maybe one of them had been previously imprisioned. You must get back to the area you remember you had summoned them for the last time and cast Freedom

I think it dissapeared when I fought the lich on L5...err anyway the last level. Can he do imprisonment? Anyway does it really lock the creature forever?

My summoned creatures disappeared forever. They were hakeshars.

Yeah, whatever is imprisoned stays that way until someone casts freedom. And yes, the lich does cast imprison, so I would suggest going back to a previous save or finding a freedom scroll.

Blarf I don't have time for that. I'll just hack a couple scrolls for me.

you have experienced the infamous 5 summons limit bug...this is why about 6 months ago I wrote the care and feeding of summons guide, but it boils down to this...

if you do not see a
"skeleton warrior:death" message, you might have lost it opeing a door, yes its true, sometimes, when you have a bunch of summons ready to go in like gangbusters, you can lose one or more by having them too close to the door. imprisoned, this is bad, as you must go back and freedom them, or you left map before you used death cloud or rested to get rid of skellys and inv stalkers.

planetars are divine, so one per sorc...

always account for your summons, inluding your mislead clone...it counts too, and will drop your summons limit to 4!!!

and if you are not sure you death fogged all of them...rest!!! that awlways gets rid of them...summons are great, I have gone thru tob using a sorc with killer summons, but you need to take care of them, and remember to account for all of them before moving to new map...

I never use them for demi liches, always use spell immunity and prot from undead scrolls...

I have the gminion AI so the summons normaly return to me if they can't see any enemies and are out of my sight so I was quite sure it had died. I'll just try with the freedom scrolls when I play next time.

*edit* Yep it worked.*edit*
