Hamsters! ROTFL!! I would agree. Good one, Dundee!

Olaf, The "good" news: Actually, Burial Isle is one of the hardest parts of HoW (relative to your party's capabilities); and, after B.I., things lighten up for a while. However, it never gets too easy.

The "bad" news is that the hardest part of B.I. is yet to come. This was the first area where I HAD to use "raise dead;" because no amount of reloading would get me victory without at least one party member biting the dust.

Here is a hint for the barrow hamsters --er, I mean wights-- and most of the other nasties you'll find on B.I.:

Used correctly, a Cleric is a big, BIG asset in the wight fights: makes the encounters tough instead of next to impossible. In fact, all of B.I. seems to be tailor made to make life extremely unpleasant for those that did not bring a high level Cleric.

TotLM? Now there's where you'll find your challenge (if you haven't yet). You'll need lots of Cleric power or a Bard or, preferably, both.

What's a party,
without a song?
Bards ROCK!
Party On!!
