Had Dessa in tavern day 1. Got earth early and slow on the road, so everything went pretty perfectly all the way. In the end I went into an area with boots, gloves and 3 topes and got Black orb, dragon armor and air book there. Then I flew into opponents area with 2 topes and a library and was ready to take them the next day. Opponent saw horde cyclops, severel angels, lots wyvs and dbl stats and decided to give up. TFP.
