Well what I always did with Nessie was invite a few friends over to kill her - summoned elementals [img]smile.gif[/img] I would stay within sight distance of her and engage her before she engages you - what you want is to gain a free round of surprise on her that way. In the free round, have everyone who can summon an elemental, either by spell or potion (Crock sells canned elementals BTW). One character should hit her with an area effect spell to make sure she'll engage you - sonic boom is my favorite for this. Next round start buffing, against Nessie you especially want soul shield and element shield up with eye for an eye. Your elementals should rush up to her and keep her busy. Close in on the next round and try to move behind any gaps in your wall of elementals so you can take ranged shots at her. One great spell at this point (have to make sure you move close enough to hit her with it) is armormelt. Also any other buffing spells, like bless, haste, etc - and now those buffs will effect your elementals as well. Once you're at this point, just pelt her with spells, ranged weapons, and heal as needed, maybe summon some fresh elementals as she'll kill some off. Really in a few rounds, even if you just watched and did nothing else, the elementals (I've seen her at most maybe kill 4 of them) should finish her off after she's armormelted and they're buffed.
