dcwin,

Welcome to the forum!!!

It's been a little while since I last played, so I'm a little rusty, but for what it's worth:

I'm not one to resurrect at lower levels, because it's too expensive and the characters aren't that developed at that point. What I'd rather do is reload a saved game, which is why I save all the time- new areas, before and after fights, etc. If you don't know already, you can hit the Q key for a quick save. So I would recommend reloading and trying again (given that the ranger is already dead).

If you get diseased again, there are a couple of things you can do. There's a potion- I think either antidote or mummy's tea- that cures disease. There is also a spell, cure disease, but you might be too early on to get that. Short of those two options, I cast healing spells on the person and have them take potions until the disease goes away.

If you're set on resurrection, however, you may be able to go back to Kalduhar, buy the spell, and return. I've never done this, so I'm only speculating, but you might not have enough time and I think the resurrection spells are prohibitively expensive to a newer party. It's worth a try, though.

Good Luck!
