Petertmorgan, I was also thinking about your party.

You said that you have 3 characters in the front row and the Alcem in the middle. Stop right there...

Put the Ranger on the outside and the Valk on the outside. The Ranger should be just fine on the outside (uses long range). The Valk should be fine too (assuming that you are using a EXTENDED WEAPON, a.k.a. polearm). The Valk can still hit in melee from the side because the EXTENDED WEAPON can reach from there. This way you can inclose the Alcem. (protecting his low health butt).

If not put the Ranger next to the Alcem in the middle (pushing the Alcem to the right side of the middle). This will allow the Ranger to still attack from long range; as well as, protect the Alcem (sort of). Basically the only way you can damage the Alcem is from behind or from the right side (if he is on the right side of the middle).

See if that doesn't work better in protecting the Alcem.


Edit: dplax... I had no stamina left for my Bard. The only reason why the first group didn't touch me is because the Bard kept them at bay with her instruments (sleep, haste, slow, and armor melt.) She was gone (basically) and the Jugs were already annoying the first time. If you think about it, it was kind of stupid. But I was right next to the entrance to Arnika and I didn't feel like taking another 20-25 mins of strugling with 15 more Jugs. So I just used what little stamina my entire party had left and ran for Arnika.
