Why are you on a dragon level with such a weak party? You need to level up in a big way.

Part of the problem is that casters can't use much armour. Anyway, if RAZORS is the best you have, you shouldn't be fighting anything that big for two or three more levels.

I finished the game with just a single Sorceress-turned-Druid, without ever equipping a weapon or selecting "Fight" in combat. It wasn't really that tedious, except for the guardians. Would have gone quicker with three casters, cause they could have cured each other's paralysis. Do you have any idea how long it takes to get a Druid up to 65 AC?

Anyway, right now I have three Assassins with no items equipped at all. They're up to level 22, WC 7, AC 4, Speed 6, and they seem to be able to survive in the vicinity of Lyesis. A little more Speed and they'll be off to level 8, I think.
