More TotLM spoilers...

O.K., guys, thanks. I used a little bit of everyone's advice and got through this. I thought it would be easier; but neither of my Mages had Resist Fear in her repertoire. I took a right and went into what I thought was an alcove; but it was a path around a rock. Oops. I had to fight on two fronts instead of one; but I had the Fighter power to pull it off. I had pre-buffed with Protection from Evil, had the Bard and Mage Mirrorer, Blurred and Stoneskinned, added about 7 other buffs; and had the Bard singing the resist fear song while the Mage did Web and Fireballs and the Druid did Entangles and meleed. It made a BIG difference to NOT have Warriors immediately dropping like flies due to fear. The Bard stopped singing long enough to cast 2 Skull traps into a cluster of 7 Harpies; and it was about then that I lost control of the Ranger/Cleric, and he eventually died. I also temporarily lost control of the Fighter/Druid. The Cleric/Fighter resurrected the R/C after the fight, and all was well.

The Mage and the Bard can temporarily be made MUCH tougher than my -17 AC Cleric/Fighter and -15 AC Ranger/Cleric, even after these guy get buffed with Recitation and Prayer, etc.

Onward...

I've been collecting gems to open the portal. I have 5 (shouldn't I have 6?) flawed gems. Now, I know I was told how to fix the flawed gems, but have forgotten what I was told and who told it to me. The friendly werewolf isn't saying anything helpful on the subject, and is no help at all except to let me rest between mistakes. I have placed gems in the empty tables that are typically guarded by the Stone Nuisances, hoping for a state change, but to no avail. I finally went to the old alter in the pond and tried just putting the flawed Moonlight gem in the alter pocket named Night; but it spit the gem right back out (still flawed) and I got a nasty fight out of the deal. So, please spoil me: How do I fix the gems, and do they go where their names hint that they should go (e.g., Moonlight goes with night, etc.)?

What's a party,
