Some friendly NPCs here, but most of them are evil, really evil. Two parties similar to yours are the prime opponents in this scenario.
The Undead Party
You'll meet these guys in the Pit of Pain if you decide to discuss certain matters with the king. Their equipment is well worth the fights in the pit so confront the king.

Equipment: Padded Armor, Short Sword
Comment: A young man you met in a small village. Though he has little equipment, he is a skilled warrior.
My Comment: Keep him for as long as he lasts, he is rather useful.
My Comment: He must be very strong as he can wield both a two-handed axe and a shield. This is a tough battle, first there are three rounds of normal Vlad warriors and enchanters, then you meet Vlad himself together with his last troopers. Take him out quickly with a cloud kill or a similar spell.
The Evil Party
You meet this party in the Jebilia inn. If you stay put when they ask you to give them back their seats, you will be teleported away and surprised by them. You won't get their equipment (which is rather great), but the battle is funny.

My Comment: The only true ranger NPC in the game (Retyu in PtP doesn't count as a ranger). Lots of clones in CitC which will give you serious problems. This guy is not that difficult, although strongest of the evil party members.

Comment: Strongest of the good dragons. This race of dragon kind devotes their entire lives to the destruction of their evil kin.
My Comment: Help him out and you'll get a Cloak of Small Folk +4, then help him battle his wife's kidnappers and find his wife: She'll give you a very nice artefact for doing so.
Name: Maxim (Master Thief)
Where: In the village under siege by the ice giants.
My Comment: Help him (the man in common clothes) and you'll get an ion stone, help the man in fine clothes and you'll have to fight Maxim and his friends. Not a very tough battle.

My Comment: One of my favorite opponents and residing in my favorite castle in Realmz. Make sure you have some stamina left for round three of the battle, when you face this guy and, among others, two commanders of his.
 
Sespian

My Comment: Two of them. Don't sound very special, eh? Well, check their magic resistance. You'll need at least +3 weapons to even hit them and considering the fact that they surprise you with a few spells, your spell casters will probably not be able to use spells against them. So get those +3 or more weapons ready and give these witches a shot.

Comment: -
My Comment: Your everyday fire giant champion, just stronger. He's a totally uncivilized brute compared to Sespian. But the battle is indeed a tough one. Take out Blackthorne quickly with a cloud killl or annihilate.
