Hi all,
...I am at the last room, of area 5, in Chapter Two, the Dragon's Eye. My brave party is questing for the Heartstone Gem. Thus far I have been riddled by a young girl who has finally drawn me to her lair, where she shape-changes into a hideous (...but well endowed) Snake Beast with multiple arms. My strategy ideas have failed miserably numerous times, and I was forced to retreat. My party consists of:
1 - Fighter (mace)
1 - Fighter (sword & bow)
1 - Ranger (sword & bow)
1 - Thief (sword and bow)
1 - Mage (spells & dagger)
1 - Priest (spells and hammer)
My strategy so far was this:
Pre-battle tactics:
Mage casts Summon I, and II
Priest casts Prayer, and Bless
Fighter (bow), Ranger (bow) and Thief (bow) form an arc just in front of doorway, but back a few paces out of the reach of the baddies.
Fighter (mace) knocks on the door, does the talking, then runs to protect Mage and Priest.
Actual battle unfolds like this:
The summoned monsters block doorway long enough to let archers kill snake archers. Fighter (mace) encounters Snake-Beast-Multiple-Arms, and he eventually dies. Mage fires everything she has into Snake-Beast-Multiple-Arms. Priest casting everything he has, mostly numerous heals.
Final outcome:
Death to all, except the Snake-Beast-Multiple-Arms!! BLAST!!!
...anyone got some strategic ideas that would fit my misfit band of adventurers?
Thanks in advance
