Need Hints and Tips battling the shadow jailor Options

[Patrick_hindman]

I need some tips to help me in the battle with the Shadow jailor and the two skeleton lords he has with him.
My party is a 10th barbarian, 9th level vagrant, 11th level auramaster, 7fighter/10cleric Anomen, 10thief/10illusionist Jan jansen, and 11th level mage nalia.

Really once the battle commences i just simply get hammered... i've tried most of the tactics i've used so far but the skeleton lords and jailor have high magic resistance and i dont have the spell lower resistance with me and my summons only really last seconds against them.

In general, whenever you encounter Skeleton Lords in any battle, it's wise to concentrate on killing them before other enemies, because S. Lords have very good offensive power but not very decent defensive abilities.

As a general hint (not merely for S. Lords but for all other creature types), it's wise to have various weapons which inflict different damage types with yourself. Change your weapons and try to figure out the best weapon type against each creature type (i.e. try to figure out whether the creature is most vulnerable to blunt weapons or slashing or piercing). Do this during the battle and inside the game (not outside the game and by looking up the creature's file in an editor; the latter is cheating).
