Hey guys, I'm a relative n00b (only been playing a week or two) and a forum lurker. Loving the new areas! I have a quick question for the pros out there- I'm getting through the Iqhan cave almost up until the boss guy- you get to a certain point and have to pass 3 Iqhan master dudes at once, and, without fail, the three kill me as soon as I try to instigate a fight with just one of them. Is there a trick to fighting only one at once, or separating the three? I am really wanting to get in there and test out that dagger of the shadow priest!!! If I just need more of... something from leveling up, I'll go back to farming the gargoyle cave in an attempt to score the RoLS
Me:
Lvl 21
AC 173%
AD 14-18
Crit hit chance 22%, multiplier 2.0
BC 50%
HP 61
gear: Villain's leather armor, Jewel of Fallhaven, Troublemaker's gloves, Woodcutter's boots, leather cap, Venomous dagger, Polished ring of backstabbing & villain's ring, strong wooden tower shield.
This forum has answered a lot of questions I've had, and really helped me out so far.
Yup, you just need to level up some more. Need more AC and AD as well as more CC so you can take out at least two of thm on your intial attack and withstand the counter attack from the third guy. Even at my level, I think it took me a couple tries to get past these guys. Taking on three at once is never fun! Also, have you used the skill upgrades to bump your AP to 12? That will allow you to get off four attacks per turn if you're using a weapon with an AP of 3. (With the jewel of fallhaven)
Another suggestion, in addition to leveling up AC & AD (especially AD) is to go buy the following items, if you don't already have them:
quickstrike dagger
2 rings of damage +6 (or at least 1 since the polished ring of backstabbing adds more AC and close to the same AD).
minor potion of speed (you can either buy them in Prim, or kill some Auleths to get them to drop a few)
The reason you still need to level up your AD is that the dagger doesn't add to it.
With the jewel of fallhaven you're already wearing, the dagger only costs 2 AP, so you get 5 chances to attack. If you used your skill points for Combat Speed to increase your max AP to 12, then you get 6 chances. Take a minor potion of speed and you'll have 7 so hopefully that's enough to kill the 3 standing at the gate (if that's the part you're getting stuck at).
In the further part of this cave are some orher challenges too
It can be done, but it will be hard one in low level character (I know, i survived out too in lvl 23;) )
IMO if those three are problem you prob only get yourself killed in deeper of the cave. I suggest to raise hp,AD and AC first
Add in a x4 dose of Chaotic Grip and they can be very formidible.
I upped my HP a couple times after I fist tackled that cave, so I could survive them. I actually went back to an earlier save and reallocated my skills increasing Fortitude so I could deal with them easier.

lvl 15 =+1ap (level 1)
lvl 30 =+2ap (level 2)
You will also have to level up more if you want more Ap.
