Okay, I've had the game for a couple of weeks of off and on
play. Throtl and Gargath have been cleaned out. Now, I'm in
the tomb of Sir Darguard and have passed the tests of fear and
honor. After this, my Knight had enough experience to level,
so I went back to the outpost to train him. At that point,
Sir Karl told me about a monster outpost I won't go into any
detail over. (If you've been there, you know what it is.)
I went back to the tomb to take the test of battle. Here is
where I run into problems...(spoilers follow)
...I don't think crtl-L is working...
...I keep getting killed by the skeleton knights. So far five
tries, four dead parties. Losing over half of the party's hit
points in the cavein causes real problems. Plus, the knights
*never* seem to miss! I zap 'em with a fireball and some
magic missles before they get to me, but I only do minimal
damage. I have three clerics in the party, and only once was
turning successful. The one time I made it past them, the
skeletal dragons killed off the party. This is getting old
very fast. Any pointers? Should I head for the ogre camp and
go back to the tomb afterwards? Am I missing some special
item? Any help is much appreciated.

Split up any heal potions, get your clerics ready to cure (we have 3 clerics, some multiclassed) and give your fighters any mass kill wands. Let the mages unload with whatever they have, have the fighters unload with wands (we only had the ice storm), and let the clerics cure. Be sure to arrange your party correctly once the fight starts. Maybe I just got lucky. I FIXed after the skeleton fight. The Skeletal Dragons were cake with a healed party. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Presley (UCLA CS Grad.
