I finally managed to beat Josephina, just kept pasting her with the Singing Blade and managed to keep her frozen long enough to do the job. A couple of resoration potions came in useful too. Thank goodness for that, it was becoming irritating. She was tough, no doubt about it, that fellow on the dragon guarding the Dragon Heart gem was a walkover compared to her, I demolished him at the first attempt.
Returning to the two handed/one handed sword debate, I reckon two handed swords are far better. I acquired a Polished Longsword of the Bloodsucker which lists frost (5) amongst its attributes. However, imho, one handed weapons simply don't do enough damage and shields are of limited benefit. I shall be sticking with the Singing Blade.
Does anyone know of any decent merchants? I have gold and equipment out the wazoo but I can neither spend the gold nor sell the equipment. I've exhausted Geoff's stock and that of the Elven merchant (Ganavariel?) and the Dwarf (Grischa?). Any decent shops in Verdistis? So far I have avoided going there because, frankly, it seems a little dull.
