Thanks, Staralfur. I did a Search, but could find nothing about this particular fight, and anyway, I didn't want to read too much in case of getting spoiled with other things.
I think I WILL take my team to Cloakwood and come back later. I have played this game before, but didn't complete it 'cos of buying BG11, and I never got past the flameblades (whatever they are called) outside in that one!
Thanks again!
