[Cerek the Barbaric]

Originally posted by Feral: Thanks - just checked that out. Leslie makes it sounds so easy and, in so doing, confirms that I may need to come back once I have some HLAs or at least Time Stop (it's a relief Bodhi's not immune to that). I'll give it a couple more tries, then I'm off to WK for some more experience.

I think Leslie just gave us the major highlights of the encounter. If you go back and read over it again, you will see that he actually had a very tough fight on his hands. He used TimeStope and managed to get Bodhi down to Near Death, only to have her instantly Heal herself and negate ALL the damage his sorcerer had just dealt out. She also completely removed Anomen from the fight and reduced him to drinking potions of Healing just to stay alive. The rest of the group - including Keldorn with his impressive Dispels and bonuses against evil creatures - were very hard pressed to defeat her. It took the combined effort of the rest of his party to defeat her, and she gave them all they could handle in the process.

I realize that Leslie's account of the fight does make it sound easy, but if you go back and re-read everything that happened, you will see (as I did) that the fight was a LOT harder than the brief account he gives of it makes it appear.
