1) Oakenmir (shame, hangs head) - heard this was a really tough fight, and seeing as how I had not had many of those for a while, I gave this a go (yes I know Wyv, Lily, Xenotoca etc, this guys a watcher how could I? - I gave into the darkside Yoda). Anyway, with 5 guys and gals with firestorm, one with meteor, most everyone with some form of heal or fiend I thought this shouldn't be too tough. He summoned 2 groves of trees instantly, but they are not as tough as him. Icestorm works on them, but not the Oak. Ran out of fire magic mana and he still had 3/4 of HP left, summoned fiends all over the place to try and take care of the summoned groves (well delay them and take the heat off). Then went in and started beating him over the trunk with all my heavily blessed and enchanted weapons. Lost 4 guys in the hand to hand stuff, resurrected 2 of them. When he finally went down, I only had 3 members alive, and were talking barely here. Polished off the last 3 trees and thought yes, it's time to heal. Turned around, and I had 2 more groves of trees advancing on me. Turned and ran like hell, dived into the sea and took off swimming.
2) Merchant, yeah, it's listed in the guide under traits - purchase low, see high.
3) Killed the sphinx too - had loaded the patch (don't know if that makes a difference) - he asked his question, no I didn't get it right (what has it got in its' pocketses), and then it starts casting spells. There is a pile of sand where it fell???
4) No ideas about these new areas - you have me interested though.
