When wife and I entered the area where we could free Halsin, we were out of spell points etc.
So we stood on the stairs watching the enemy's pattern.
Decided to go to camp for a rest.
When we got back from the camp everybody in the area were dead and Halsin was gone.
But the journal hadn't updated.
So we had to go back to a previous save and work our way back to Halsin - without going to camp.
I'm happy to announce that our reworked strategy prevailed.
