Regaining strenght after a shadow attack

Hey!

I'm currently in the 1st dungeon, and I just noticed that after I won against some master shadows, parts of my party are down with their strenght to like 2 or 3.
I already camped, but this only helped with their healthpoints, not with their strength.

Could someone help me with that? It's pretty dull to run around with only strength 2 characters ;-)

Use a potion or wand of restoration. There is also a fountain of restoration northwest from the Rhonglyn room (it only has two doses left, though). Resting should bring back one point of STR each time.

Thanks. Somehow, I figgured that myself with the resting, think its pretty stupid because it takes ages. On the other hand, I'm always out of portions and/or wands.
Isnt there any spell that acts as an armor or helps me? The point&click resting is boring.

At low levels, there is no shortcut; the Restoration spell is 4th level cleric spell so you'll need to be at least 6th level to cast it.

Rest is the poor man's method; not a lot of fun but at least time is not a factor in the game.

The next best way to avoid the shadows is to load up one or two characters with armour and rings/amulets of protection or saving throw bonuses (IIRC it's a fortitude save vs. shadows) and beat the hell out of them while your spell casters and archers sit back and snipe. The spell Mage Armour will also help your AC.
