Ok, still going with chapter 2. Bopped through the Bridge district pretty easy. Protection from undead let me kill the lich with no sweating, and actually had a easy time with the Twisted rune inhabitants. I didn't play that room the first time through, so didn't know what to expect, but good thing i was prepared.
The twisted rune lair holds 5 opponents, a beholder, a strong mage, a lich, a strong vampire, and a fighter (or a thief, he dies easy whoever he is). Now going 1 player vs all of them is very hard, especially since he can't even cast level 7 spells yet. But the way to win presented itself real quick.
Entering the Tristed rune home directly after killing the lich nextdoor I still had my protection from undead up. The Lich didn't notice me. I conjured a couple groups of mostersummoning I to make him use a few spells up, such as timespot, symbol of fear, etc. Then just shooting him with +2 arrows until he was almost dead (don't kill him yet)
Now I had to time my attacks to work at the near time my protection from undead protection dropped (he can see you once it drops, then the major battle starts). Once he sees you, the other Twisted rune inhabitants gate in and attack. But there is a great little room off to the west side, great for hiding and planning attacks.
Now, threw up a 2nd protection from undead. I have to worry about the beholder, mage, and warrior first, the 2 undead i can save for later. Warrior(or thief) is stupid, he follows you into the small west room, easy dead. 4 to go. The lich is in that room with me, but can't see me. Now I need to take out that beholder. I cast Monstersummoning I again, just outside the room. As it takes place, I run out and attack the beholder who is targeting the newly summoned monsters. Whack Whack Whack dead. 3 left. The mage is casting protection spells, the vampire is running around the table my direction to the summoned monsters. The lich is right beside me. DAYSTAR! beam hits once the vampire is close BAM! lich and vampire fried. Mage only left. I run back into the small room.
Time for the protection from magic scroll. Problem is mage has gated in a demon. So I stay in the small room as they fight each other. Waiting, Waiting, spells fail, hit. I see the demon has been powerword stunned. EXCELLENT! I run out the room at the demon, and proceed to kill it (its stunned, free hits LOL), then I yawn and stretch as the last mage empties her spells at me, only to see them all fizzle. Then I test out my 2 weapon style on the mages butt.
Twisted rune room finished, all with my level 10 fighter/11 mage/13 thief WHOO HOOO!
And I got that nice staff of the Magi. he he he he he
