I'm nearing the final battle and have encountered the three reavers.
Can't get past them.
I have two casters with true name scrolls and the scroll icon appears in the actions window when I use them. The reavers however, continue to regenerate. The scrolls worked on the previous two encounters with reavers but don't appear to be working on this group.
Unless I'm missing something obvious it appears my game is broken.
Suggestions? Work-arounds? Anyone?

Your game isn't broken.
"That spell has already worked four times or you wouldn't even be there." (thanks, Sand)
...
You mention "two casters with true name scrolls" - only one is necessary, but you open up the possibility that you're trying to get them both to cast at once. That won't work.
First, get everything stabilized at the bridge bottleneck so the Reavers aren't free to wander. Then take control of Zhjaeve and back her away. She is your designated True Name reciter (Ammon Jerro is far too important on the battle line with his unlimited spells). Make sure everyone is attacking the same Reaver that Zhjaeve is (they're color-coded) and maintain control of the Gith throughout the whole process - when she finishes the recitation, she should throw in a couple crossbow bolts or a simple spell or two, but don't change her target until he dies.
Then repeat two times.
...
This thread has inspired me to look at the script in the toolset - I believe the vulnerability granted by the True Name spell is temporary, but I'm not sure. In any case, it remains paramount to concentrate as much as possible on one Reaver at a time.

In my experience, it takes a while for those scrolls to be properly cast from. If you possess another companion or the PC after setting them up to cast from them, then there's a chance they'll stop midway through and start attacking when their usual AI takes over.
I've always made sure I keep the caster possessed until the casting is complete.

I think it was a combination of the casters AI not finishing the scroll and in some cases me trying to do two targets at once. I put everyone in puppet mode today and stepped through it, taking out all three in succession. Finished up the game successfully after that.
Thanks for all the help guys!
