I am having a hell of a time fighting this witch & her buddies. Maybe *alone* I might take her - but the rest of them cast that biting insects spell which kill my characters in short order. I've tried keeping out of the main room and fighting in the narrow corridors of the entryway - one time even managed to kill all but her - but of course 5 out of my 6 characters are dead by then, so why continue? If up to 3 characters were dead, I could manage since I have the Amulet of Life with 3 Ressurect spells left. Unfortunately, my characters are only around Level 8 and I have no defensive spells except Bless (wowee) and Armorplate. I've managed to do major damage to her with Flamestrike, but it's just not enough. I'm thinking that if I could get rid of the Keepers and Caretakers without any characters dying, I might have a chance. The elevator goes back down, so you can't even run away, and fight from a distance. My other problem (I've been coping with it up to now) is that one of my Clerics is Stone, and I can't heal him or unStone him, so he dies all the time.
It just seems that the game throws enemies at you that are too powerful way too early in the game (i.e. Mantraps) With games like Might & Magic, you could go and do easier areas and build up some levels. But in this game, what options do you have? I suppose I could reset adventures, but doesn't that put you back to Valeia? I really don't want to do all that stuff again....
