I can't even get in here......I bow to your RPG prowness and expertise
My party is level 7 & 8. I thought I did all the quests and assignments given to me prior to getting here. I'm playing a mostly good party with a barbarian,fighter, ranger, cleric, rogue and generalist wizard. Normal difficulty. Used up every one of my extra heal potions and my cleric's healing spells.
I tried going in the front of the temple with uhh...Sherincal and her little welcoming bunch but that ended horribly with all party members dying.....it didn't seem to be a fair fight...hehe...with that blankety-blank Crystal Golem pounding endlessly on my front line fighters.
So I then tried going in the back door entrance into the Abishal Den....I agreed to help them and ended up fighting Lysata (who died pretty quickly, actually), a whole room full of assorted spellcasters, and a #@#!!% *CHAMPION* Crystal Golem who squished 3 of my front line into puddles of dented armor. The Abishal demonlings, who were supposed to be "helping" me, did not touch the golem at all. And When the last of the evil spellcasters were finally dust, the blood lusting demon-Abishals ganged up on my last two survivng party members, and it was not very pretty to see......
*Any* strategy tips would be welcome here......or helpful criticisms, even.
