| killed her earlier today
A couple of things helped me here. First, at the start of the game I stayed on the goblin shacks until I had killed enough things to be well on my way to level 4.(this was stated in another post on the forum) Second, I followed the walkthrough advice about waiting to take her on until your character is built. I did at the very last thing before heading to arrindale. This included a run through of the slums, I started as an adept and I joined the rogue guild. On the first run through I took out what seemed to be hundreds of thieves and the spawning rate of thieves after I went back out and back in seemed alot easier to deal with.
I also followed the walkthrough's advice about pausing the game when she put me to sleep. I didn't have to do it that much though. when she was invisible and biting me I just swung in the direction I thought see was. I did alot of damage like this. I finished her off with spells though, the strongest thing I could buy was a fireball at the mages place. the map was helpful in me figuring out she was overhead and then I pelted her with spells.
If you are still in your first go round in Fargrove, I don't think you can get the blast nova from the mage shop unless your a mage.
the other thing that I am learning with CE is to save and load games, since you can't spend your exp.pts when you die. I did that a couple of times as well because I think she killed my once or twice before I figured out she was invisible and the one taking big chunks out of my character's neck.
