does he really just give that crappy anti poison ring and NO XP? or is it just a glitch with me

I'm pretty sure I got some XP for killing him. Then again, I did play a while ago, so I'm not too sure.

As far as I remember, (going back about 5 months) Vongoethe is a regular lich in his powers. So you should get at least 22,000 XP.

Hmmm, have you tried to replay the battle after you saved your victory?

Taluntain *might* know - I believe he was posting with regards to Vongoethe a couple months ago, which is more recent than my experiences.

damn. i killed him like 3 times. Same thing happened as with my PREVIOUS Soa-Tob import game, which was: nothing. probably a glitch. and my amulet of power, which I NEVER take off, has vanished too. damn bugs.

Yup, I'm quite positive I got the regual 22k XP for him...

Actually that ring is pretty good - iirc it offers poison *immunity* ...

The ring is good but you get a the girls trapped soul which is even better!!!. I always play an evil party, and having a trap soul on my head feels nice.
