I got past this area.  Part of the problem was tough creatures attacking 
me left and right.  When my guys were all level 8 or level 9 these 
weren't really a threat anymore and I could sit down and solve the 
puzzle.  I'm having a similar issue in Wizardry VI where we jump in the 
pit and fight the giant serpents.  They hit like 3 times, and if they 
target my mage it's basically over.  Considering using the amulet of 
life here.  Nothing else thus far has engaged it.
