Carrying Items of Shielding is a less-than-ideal solution, because it means she usually has to endure a round of paralyzing attacks before she can invoke them, and each only lasts one round. By that time, a good spell would have wiped out the paralyzing monsters anyway.

Have you considered levelling up and boosting your agility? I can't see any reason why you would go last when fighting the Gatekeeper and his minions...
