Shaitans need for help :) Options

Hi!

I recently decided to try out the F/M, so now I've done most of the minor quests and I've taken Nalia's keep. That combination between the gem golem and Torgal really took some time, but I prevailed... Anyway as a matter of fact: I don't really have any experience with a F/M or a mage... I rarely take a mage with me at all, but as of IA I really need one hence my newbietroubles...

Now I'm in the middle of the druids groove, and these spiders guarding Belm really puzzle me. Especially the Ghostspider gets me every time. I really could use some hints and tips on how to fight those creeps.

My party is on level 10-12 with an amount of XP around 1,05-1,25 mio. Anomen is the only char. who have reached more than 1,2 mio xp.

My party is this:
Me elf F/M (dual longswords/bastard sword)
Jaheira (dual club/scimitar)
Minsc Berzerker (Twohanded swords & Halbards)
Anomen (Hammer & shield)
Kivan (longbow)
Nalia (shortbow)

With hope for help

Regards Shaitan

What Sikret said + you could make the Spiders attack first your character with best AC.

He could be Anomen: best Armor and shield + PfEvil + I.Invisibility (from Rings of Air Control either) + Girdle of Piercing.

These spiders don't have the best THACO.

Also note the some of them are immune to missile dmg (Ghost spiders f.e.) so make Kivan attack those not immune.

Finally some of them don't have MR. Nalia could fight them with spells and even dominate some of them.
