I think level 9 probably is to low to realy be killing Firkraag. I have never gotten to him at anything less thta level 11 and he ism't to difficult at level 11. As for admantine golems, I think you should be able to take one out easily enough, you realy need to cast haste on yur best fighters and surround it and just pummel it, but you do need +3 weapons, you should be able to get Lilacor and the Celestial Fury by now. You can also cast the 4th level wizard spell Enchanted Weapon, to bring into existance either a +3 long sword, short sword, axe or mace for any of your characters to use.
