The fight with pirates Options

[Aro]

Hi all.

I want some help with these guys in the tavern at the Docks. They are very tough. My party is:

Vagrant PC with proficiency in clubs and uses the +3 acid one from Trademeet
Valygar
Anomen
Jan Jansen
Edwin

Jan and Edwin can cast only 5 lvl spells and less.

That mage casts Remove Magic and emotion and abi-dalzim, and my characters die very quickly. The captain I cannot kill, he's scary. Help! My fighters deal very small damage to him.

I want another party member, but all NPCs are so weak. Any recommendation?

And where to find a permanency scroll or manual of elaboration or scroll of memory? I want a scroll for the club +4. It costs 50 000, is it worth it?

What weapons to buy?

Thanks. I asked about those expensive powerful upgraded items and which are usuable with use any item. I tried to search this forum, but got some error message that it was password protected and got nothing. I looked on the biowares forum and there a bard was equipped with that awesome cloak +4, but I want to ask is it possible or is the guy there cheating to use it? And can you post some links to this forum where use any item is discussed, or I may forge something very expensive now and then not be able to use it later.

Yeah remember that mage in the slavers, but killed him very quickly with melee weapons, so he was no problem. I guess that other mages will use protection from magic weapons maybe so it will be hard.

Thank you both about the cloud spells. I will not pick them with my sorcerer then. Good thing I asked or I had to start once again from the beginning.
