That is a VERY difficult fight for this stage of the game, and you may be better off putting it off for a little bit until you pick up some people with more firepower.

Some strategies: Web or Entangle the entire area and whale on them with missiles and spells. Also: don't engage the dwarf in one-on-one combat; say you're going to leave, then cast the "buffing" spells on your characters (Barkskin, Bless, etc.)THEN attack. If you have one of the wands from Irenicus' Dungeon, use it (Cloudkill or Fireball on the Mage and Imp.

Personally, I'd wait until I picked up a Cleric (Anomen, Aerie) and another Mage (Aerie or Nalia, or Edwin if you want to wait that long)...you'll find them in various places in Athkatla.

Aerie (Mage/Cleric)can be found in the Circus Tent in Waukeen's Promenade
Anomen (Fighter/Cleric)can be found in the Copper Coronet in the Slums
Nalia (Thief/Mage) can be found in the Copper Coronet in the Slums
Edwin (Conjurer (Specialist Mage)) can be found in Mae'var's Guild in the Docks
Viconia (Cleric) can be found in the Government District
Jan (Thief/Illusionist) can be found in the Government District
Keldorn (Paladin) can be found in the sewers below the Temple District

Those are the easiest ones to find first off. Figure out who you want in your party, then go back and take on the 7 vales.

Hope this helps!
