If you had an easier time with Aec your first time through (as Sonny was doing), then you're a better player than I. Cheers!

With Tarnesh, most of my problem stemmed from resisting the urge to pre-buff. I always assume my character does *not* know what's around the next corner (even though I *do* know, after getting smoked and having to reload).

And in my game, Tarnesh always started with Magic Missile, which smoked my 1st level dude every time. So unfortunately, pre-buffing (and timing my approach with those guards walking by) was the only way I could get past that joker.
