Tolgerias

Tolgerias is a Cowled Wizard from Athkatla who is found in the Council of Six Building in the Government District looking for mercenaries eager to do some bounty hunting for him.
==Involvement==
When first met, Tolgerias will try to hire Gorion's Ward for a mysterious mission. He will refuse to disclose any details before Gorion's Ward accepts to fulfill a contract for a predefined sum of gold. The quest will only begin if Gorion's Ward accepts the Cowled Wizard's terms.
Should Gorion's Ward accept the contract, Tolgerias will ask the party to find, kill Valygar Corthala and bring his body to him. The wizard will never reveal why he wants Valygar dead, but the ranger will reveal that Tolgerias believes it is the only way to gain entry to The Planar Sphere.
If the party decides to spare Valygar's life and enters the Sphere at any point after that, Tolgerias will be encountered in the depths of the Sphere and confront the party.
==Gameplay ==
If somehow the party has made Tolgerias hostile in the Council of Six building, then most likely the entire cast of NPCs within will also become hostile, leading to a huge debacle and lowering the party's reputation very low. Tolgerias, if not killed outright will fight back as detailed a little further on.
Most probably, the party will encounter Tolgerias, and his assistant mage (a level 9 Female elven mage - ref: TOLMAGE02) within the Planar Sphere (the Power Core room) - see the Inside the Planar Sphere page. Regardless of whether the party has added Valygar Corthala as a companion or not, Tolgerias and lackey mage will inevitably turn hostile to the party, and a fight could break out.
Assuming that Tolgerias is not killed or made helpless before he can launch his defenses, then expect the mage to near instantly self-protect with Stoneskin, Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Turning, Protection From Normal Missiles, Protection From Magical Weapons, and Protection From Electricity (spell).
Next a True Sight, Simulacrum and then Shadow Door will be attempted. From then on, the battle will shift depending on certain recognized threats in his script. Most likely Tolgerias will then go on the offensive and start casting various offensive damage spells and disabling types. A Death Spell can be cast to banish summoned foes, and a Vocalize is ready to counter silence. 
His mage assistant will also be getting up some magical defenses and then try and attack via spell casting as well.

As a level 21 mage, SCS ensures that Tolgerias has access to a few High-level class ability innate ability uses, as well as a handful of 9th level spells. These will be used dependent on the game difficulty setting. 
When confronted in the Planar Sphere, after his opening dialogue (unless snuffed out by a hidden party member before that), Tolgerias will have the following {previously cast) buffs: Spell Trap, Mirror Image, Shadow Door, Minor Globe of Invulnerability and Stoneskin (or Mestil's Acid Sheath with SR).
Tolgerias assistant Mage buffs with Mirror Image, SI: Divination (or Dispelling Screen with SR), Protection From Normal Missiles, Armor (spell), Stoneskin and Non-Detection.
Tolgerias will quickly summon and conjure assistance in this battle. Expect two Fiends (Cornugon), two Efreeti, a Djinni and perhaps other creatures to deal with.
With the Spell Revisions mod installed, the mages spells will be the SR versions, and the summoned spell casting creatures will also be using the SR versions.
If you want Tolgerias to have possession of a special book, install the Demon Summoning Ritual - Unholy Gate Opening Ritual Book. He won't have it until he is in the The Planar Sphere, and you'll have to take it from him by force. Usable by evil Mage class only. Read more in the link.
