Do I defend against this? Aside from insomnia, sorry, was undeffed and poking in to check something. Just drives me batty. Silimaur need not reply. Any help on dealing with wiccans much appreciated.

She didn't even do anything serious, just set her fae on you.

Barghest - paralyses, so eat earwort (it's a sound effect)
Pixie - sleeps, insomnia, kafe
Redcap - gives bleeding, ignorable outside choke
Slaugh - gives random afflictions, rigormortis and epilepsy aren't ignorable, the rest is
Banshee - weak hp and mana damage

She also used double-sleep hex combo. With insomnia, you still get put to sleep - but if you got kafe up, you can wake up instantly.

Defenses definitely would've helped, especially kafe and insomnia. Decrease your size to writhe faster. Apart from that, this doesn't look so bad to me. Be glad the room wasn't choked yet.

Uhh... eat kafe, metawake on?

i was only using single sleep hexes as far as i can remember..ive just been fighting without power all day heh..in that situation theres really nothing you could have done without defences..

Perhaps I should have clarified, in a regular combat situation, when I'm actually defended. Surely there is some way, some arcane and twisted method, to prevent obscene amounts of mana/health damage ontop of afflictions? Since disfigure is all but useless.

Sip mana earlier? Use sparkleberry and healing scroll?

Nothing Sharael was doing was particularly lethal.
