Whailor: Wow, I never would've thought the little gimp had it in him! I'll have to try that next time I run through the grove!
My sure-fire strategies for defeating Faldorn are many, but here are the basic facts which they hinge upon. Hint one: spells, scrolls and potions affecting you are not dispelled when you enter the pit. So first order of business is to buff your druid! Potion of Speed, Potion of Defense, Potion of Regeneration. In Jaheira's case, add a Potion of Some Giant Strength, a Potion of Invulnerability, and a Potion of Heroism. (NOTE: you can buy most if not all of these potions at the Potion Lady's Hut).
Next, disrupt her. Memorize your own bug spells, particularly Insect Plague. Cast this as the first thing you do in the pit! It won't hurt her, since she is regenerating and has her Ironskins up, but it'll prevent her from throwing bugs at you.
Now cast Doom, Poison and (if you're not Cernd) Flame Blade. Feel free to cast a Summon Insects around now -- the Insect Plague spell will soon wear off. Casting Miscast Magic after Doom but before Insect Plague wears off is helpful, too.
Hope this is helpful!
