I'm having trouble with the battle vs. Abbaddon, in which he and hordes of his disciples descend upon a portal in Archeron that needs to be defended.
Is this battle winnable, or am I supposed to give up and find some other thing to do? I've played through it four times now. Twice someone has called out "fall back!" as if I'm supposed to retreat somewhere, but there is no point to which to retreat. It seems like such an impossible battle that maybe I'm not intended to fight it out, but I'm not sure.
In my last playthrough, I actually whittled down the enemies to just Abbaddon and one of his Disciples. All three of my henchmen died during battle, and as soon as I lost the third henchmen, I went down in a couple of hits. (Abbaddon knocks me down, hits me a few times for a few 100 damage each, it's over).
My last strategy involved shifting to Blue Dragon Form (I'm a Monk 6 / Druid 8 / Shifter 20), hoping to draw many enemies as possible to come after me (with AC 73 and close to 800 hp), while Robert Black, Nellise, and the Tempest actually do damage. I make sure to distribute Heal potions frequently (I didn't keep count, went through mabye 40 or so last battle). The enemies' hit points and resistances are so high that I can't think of any form that has a helpful special ability, or any form that really deals enough damage to be worthwhile. I think Terinus is fairly useless in this battle, but so much goes on it's hard to tell if he does anything but take damage and attract my attention with Heal potions.
I'd like to try Resurrection on my henchmen during battle, but the problem is I can't use the rod / scroll while shifted. I have to run out of battle and hope no one follows me, because it just takes a round or two for any of the Disciples to kill me in human form. Then I actually have to get close to the body to do the Resurrection. So that doesn't seem to be an option.
