[Eadaii]

I play a theif, and I like to complete the thief stronghold quest early on in the game, because, well, mainly because I want Edwin in my party for as much time as possible.

However, since I haven't leveled that much yet, I find the battle with the mage Edwin wants you to kill VERY HARD. The battle with Mae'var is easy, but not so with the mage, due to his spells. I find that most of the time I have to leave my other companions outside, because they die almost easily. And I die half the time, anyway.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to beat him?
