Welcome there & greetings Willow2.
Undead are monsters that we all love. They come in several flavours - Spectral(ghostly ones), Cadaveric(like zombies), Skeletal, and Vampiric. Then there are special ones like Liches.
They have specific weaknesses. Many can be Turned by a Cleric or a Paladin. Often they have immunity to cold, but can be hurt by fire. Lower level ones are very susceptible to backstabbing. Poison is a waste of time, since well, they're already dead. Traps seem to work pretty good. So does Insect Swarm spell, and Fire Elementals do them a lot of damage.
One of the worst things that they can do is drain levels. You can protect against this with the "Negative Plane Protection" spell. And if it happens, a Restoration spell will set things right - the Cleric can do it, or you might have to hit a temple.
Before you engage them, you might want to cast a Protection from Evil 10' radius spell, a Chant and maybe a Defensive Harmony. If they are draining your levels, try to engage them with your fastest people, and keep running while the missile and spell slingers pelt them. Melee is not always the best thing to do.
