> I'm utterly flummoxed on level 2. I've scavenged both the level's keys, but I still cannot pass the life-repulsing field. All the level's player parties are either past that field guarding town or past the warning sign. Since I have to pass through an unsummoning field to get to the latter set, the player parties ream me whenever I attack. Even when I try hit-and-run, I'm killed nine times out of ten while I flee. I know it's not a problem of stats; freeborns haven't dropped any potions in a good while, and I've kitted myself out entirely in items of classiness and the best sword. What do I need to do to crack this level? Any hints toward passing the field or defeating the parties single-handedly (or whether that's not necessary) would be greatly appreciated.

I figured out the latter part, though I did kill one party the hard way. All I can say about the other party is that something irritating became something convenient.

I am having a different problem over around the "key" area, as I can't seem to go from point A to point B. I won't even worry about the pool, which I can't get to either, but I can't get to that fourth last group of enemies. How does one arrange to counteract this? Do I need to check anywhere else, or just there? I really don't want to start the level over when I am this close to finishing it.
