That's only because Tarnesh's Magic Missile is hacked to be of a higher level. He casts 1 1st-level spell and 2 2nd-level spells at you, suggesting that he's only Level 3 or 4, and his feeble hitpoints back this up. So when he casts Magic Missile, there should only be 1 or 2 missiles--but instead there are FIVE, which, at your level, will instantly kill any party member, no matter what (unless the otherwise-useless Shield spell actually does something).
