I'm currently playing a game in which my only NPC is Aerie, and I'm finding it quite hard so far. My PC is a fighter/mage/thief level 8/9/9 and Aerie is level 9 in both cleric and mage. But I'm finding two battles particularly hard, which is annoying because I decided to do the quests because I thought they'd be easier than alternatives.

I'm doing the quest to get Sir Sarles for the temple, and when it comes to fighting Neb, it's very hard, mainly due to the annoying little ghost kids. I know that you get exp. for each spirit left alive (well, still there) at the end of the battle so I've tried not to harm too many and kill Neb ASAP. Different tactics I've used:

1:Blast him with 3 magic missiles (thanks to minor spell sequencer), pump 3 fireballs into the end where he hides, then I tend to be so level drained with Aerie dead that my only option is go and hit him, where I get killed.

2: Magic missiles again, cloudkill, and run outside. The first time I tried this, the cloudkill worked and took quite a lot of HP off him, but he had healing potions. The next two times I tried it, the cloudkill didn't work. I sent it out using the wand and I saw the clouds but when I went outside there was no damage happening to Neb.

Any tips on how to get rid of the critter? And protection from the spirits?


Another fight I'm finding hard is the three Rakshasa in the druid grove in the Trademeet genie quest. No spells are working so I'm going with the buttkick method, and it's not working. It's me getting my butt kicked.

HELP! PLEASE?
