They can be random order but that should help you.
Btw: Good luck killing big snake after entering the area... you need it.
If you can heal your members when they are turned to stone, you don't have any problem...
But you would share that informatin to me too. I'm stuck to stone !

After fighting naga for the third time, I found what kept me from getting stoned was to cast armored realm and nimble on everyone BEFORE battle of course. Then there was just the poison thing. Only one member of my party was stoned and missed out on XP. I also fought her in hack and heal mode as magic seemed a waste of my time.
