High EvilMax:
I had lots of trouble with Bandits Camp. Regeneration around the old temple (?) in the south was a problem. Had to kill all guards before resting or the guards regenerate. Shortly after the first battle, all the characters from the camp join the fight. Managed to kill all with Wand of Fire and Fireball spells, Skull Trap spells and a short bow that shoots Magic Missiles (expensive but worth it). I had one bard and three mages with me. I went into lots of softer areas first to build up characters before taking on the hard fights.
Sorry I cannot remember more, but I am having memory problems. Need to write lots of notes to remember what I did in the game. My doctor thinks it is normal for my old age, but I find it very miserable.
