I fought the Lizard Men with the snare nets. Down to my last character with healing and only Walk. Couldn't move, but when I did, got close and chipped away.
Wow..that's harsh! Something like that happened to me too, but it didn't last this long! Only like ~15-20 turns or something...and then I was finally able to kill the enemy!
Drink up an stay hydrated. I know you want us to stay thirsty, but matches like that you need to be focused.
I've had that before, thankfully instead of a priest, mine's a wizard, and with 2 reliable armor So it was just me sitting there, waiting to draw one of my Sparks or any other 4-range attacks to slowly chip those lizards away.
