The "strength" of the natural attack indicates the amount of damage
that it will do to a character with 0 resistance; positive values
in the appropriate affinity will reduce the damage, while negative
values will increase it.  The "Poison" attack will only affect the
character engaged in melee with the Stalker; the "FireJet" will
probably affect every character in the attacking party.

Warlocks in small parties are a joke.  If you attack the den with 4
characters, they should never get a spell off.

(If this happens to be anywhere near New Haven, and you want a hand,
just let me know... :)

Today's Odyssey hint:  Make *sure* you set your fighters to charge
before attacking a den.  It feels rather silly to watch 'em stand
there for 10 rounds while a feeble warlock sits back and casts
spells at 'em.  *sigh*
