When we played this the quasit simply stayed back and threw the returning dagger at us repeatedly, from the air, invisibly. Only reason we prevailed was our binder managing to get the little bugger with "Shield Self", and then turning to my dwarven crusader and saying, "hit me." We then pummeled the binder while healing him; half the damage goes to the quasit, who isn't benefitting from a healer's attention. Took a while. Quasit eventually tried to flee, but this meant it had to go to a door, and we were in front of each door - forcing it to try to use its sting. Pain in the butt.

I've had NPC's try to shatter that stupid ranseur about three times now, but the saves keep being made. The barbarian figures it's his lucky weapon and refuses to switch to any of the magic weapons they've found. And of course now they grapple every single opponent.

They ended up fighting it three times and not succeeding, swearing to return after they gained some levels. The combination of high AC, DR, and flying made it tough. Sounds like your group had a better time with it. That video was awesome :)

Good conclusion on the Quasit fight.... High ACs are a bitch to deal with I totally agree. At least the length of time it took to play the scene allowed your Method Actor to get his Psychodrama out of his system! I'm so looking forward to play that part next weekend! Good writeup my man!
