I might consider starting another thread here soon, but to be perfectly honest, a 1 hit fighter, on his own will not last very long in Wicht's Lair. You either need to advance a bit (to at least 3-4 hits) or find some companions.
OK then, thanks for letting me know. It doesn't look like there'll be enough new people coming in to try it with companions, so I'll keep an eye out for you if/when my current character gets tough enough to handle the Lair.
