We’ve turned into a Hive, things are getting serious.

I'm continuing my playthrough of Spellforce. I'm now in Farlon's Hope, and Mulandir has been cleared. Again, I'm at a place where I got stuck last time. Now, my mage has a manatap and a poison spell at level 7. I'm thinking of using poison on those guard guys near the briarwolves. They're strong, I have to admit, and they're higher level than my mage. There's a runic orc temple there, but the problem is that the Crimson Legion is attacking our army. It won't be easy.
