Help with Abominations

[Baalz]

You may want to think more along the lines of SCs. Sending in 1 guy with a good MR and high defense should make him pretty resilient to what the aboms can throw down. Bandar has some pretty good national summons, don't remember the name but there's one for 35 pearls which has 4 arms and a map move of 10. Not too hard to get that guy into the upper 20's (or lower 30's) defense, and equip some swords with real bite - and you won't have much trouble getting him to the front lines. Script resist magic, mirror image, personal luck, body ethereal (for the trolls), mistform and I bet you'll dance around unscathed until you whittle them down. He's a priest to, in case you've got a good bless.

Has astral. Will die to magic duel by the Illithids the second time he ever attacks. Losing all his expensive gear.

As far as relatively cheap counters go, I am a fan of moon-blade weilding thugs. So, something like a Sleeper or a Bane Lord (10 or 12 gems) with a Moon Blade (3 gems w/hammer), Boots of Quickness (7 gems w/hammer), and a Amulet of Antimagic (3 gems w/hammer).

So, that's 10 or 12 + 3 + 7 + 3 = 23 or 25 gems a piece. That is what an abomination costs, and I believe they should be able to take down at least one before they die:

They've got about 15 strength, right? + 11 damage from Moon Blade x 2 (magic being) = 52 damage x 2 (quickness) = 104 damage.

Maybe 2-3 rounds and they will kill an abomination each. I don't think the abomination can kill them in 2-3 rounds because abominations don't have that great of an attack skill from what I remember, and these thugs will have 16-17 something defense.

Also that Ether Warriors spell would be great because all of them have moon blades, although that is 90 gems.

Edit: of course a real SC would be better if you got it.
