Is there any way to get those idiot apprentices to make something good? All I got from them was that stupid dagger, and then they all died in explosions...

hehe you greedy :p
i got the dagger, mislead scroll and then made them stop. Otherwise if you ask for hard stuff, they'll most probably die. It's random tho

Well, okay, I'm greedy! But I didn't even get a scroll. I asked for it, but they screwed up, explosion, someone got 84 damage little corpse on the floor (good thing I have a golem to clean up)... Next thing I wanted - I don't remember exactly, but it was the easiest, and one more died... and it was over.

I saw a really good walkthough of the mage stronghold a while ago but I can't seem to find it now, but here is a decent one http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/002231.html

I noticed that you did say "again" in your topic. If you knew that this has already been discussed why don't you just search for it? :borg:
