Level 4 is a little early for the Toadem quest, IMO. I never go for it until I'm about level 7 on warriors / 6 on spellcasters. Have you finished the Crypt yet? You can always go fight Rumphy again to get more experience. Best bet: at least wait until your Wizard gets "Elemental Blast" (3rd level Stone); it's the most effective spell on the Swamp Muck (Scabban-type) monsters early on. Equip the rest of your party with potions of Mana (Mana More or Max if you can) and have them revive the wizard's mana during the combat. Also have your priest (or Paladin if you have one) ready with "Great Heal"; it's the best low-level (3rd level Spirit) spell that cures nausea. Equip the warriors with bows (and train at least one in bows) so you can range-fight the monsters, then strafe (L & R arrow keys) out of the way of their gas attacks.
Hope this helps,
Sazerac
