I have just cleared out the De'Arnise Keep, and received my stronghold. The Spirit Trolls and Umber Hulks are a strong challenge for a party of my level, especially if they get past my frontline. (Amschat and Korgan) Also, Flamestrike and Greater Command are dangerous if you fail your saves.

Torgal himself, however is to be honest, not all that intelligent. He would have pulverised any of my characters one on one, but his AI makes him target the 1st target he sees, seemingly indefinitely. This poses a problem for him if his target is hasted and he is being attacked by Amschat, Korgan, an Aerial Servant, and Edwin and Jan are using Flame Arrow, Acid Arrow and Magic Missile spells, while Yoshimo (the target) was running around like a headless chicken. (Shadowkeeper says 30% MR, it didn't stop one spell) Jan eventually killed him.

His lackeys in the final room however, are quite tough.

Now, as promised, here is my party and their current equipment. The Profs section will only outline the profs for their current equipment.
