New to the game; first Avernum actually.
1. I attempted to kill the blue guy in the Tower but no luck, he keeps either freezing me in place or throwing something at me killing me in two turns. Then I can't get my other players to stay back they follow me, in my footsteps.
2. What thaws the freeze?
3. All advice possible, please. I tried to search the forum but it's all so confusing. Sorry for my stupidity.
