Ya, I can say the Faere solo of any kind is probably difficult. Maybe the most given the weight, weapon and armor limitations. Any crevice or room may be a death trap if you rest. She made it to the first (left) room up the stairs in Upper Mon, beat the seekers, and decided to rest before trying the 2 rabid rats. Was not a good idea as four more lev 9 rats showed up when she went back to the stairs. Hopeless. I had an earlier save with the 2 rats before resting and got them OK. The fight with the rogues was not too bad, actually did it in two waves, allowing a pause between to get stamina back (without resting). The stealth is over 50 so she's sees some breaks now, especially against the 9 wolf spiders she ran into next. Almost half of them couldn't see her! They ended up paralyzing her a few times but did little damage. At the end they were out of stamina and she still had enough SP for it, barely.

Leaving the Mon (lev 7, could go up to 8 and change profession) she ran into 8 venom crabs and three harder ones. Should have saved. I found out from an earlier save she will need the venom crab shell for the Faerie plate armor. I think she is going to need it. When she reloaded they weren't there and she made it 1/3 way to Arnika, running around some bandits after putting them to sleep 1 turn. Think I'll reload from Mon and hope for a smaller number of venom crabs. Then off to Arnika. It looks doable, but many ways to misstep here.

Edit: fixed typos
