At that point in the game, it's wise to rely on spells for protection only, so use Mage Armor or Shield, Minor Mirror Image or Protection from Evil, and then melee your way through that battle, using missile weapons anytime you're not confronted at close range. Remember that you can go to the priest in Shawford's house for free full healing at any time during that fight. My own solo Ftr/Wiz had quite an easy time there, though I have to admit that he's a Svirfneblin, so he had a substantial AC bonus and could cast Mirror Image, Blur and Invisibility, spells that you don't have access to just yet.
