Couple more questions

Does anyone else have trouble navigating the Roman Aquaducts? I'm trying 
to do a quest and I've got directions in my journal, which I am 
following, but I must be doing something wrong because I'm not finding 
what I'm supposed to find. Any tips?

Any tips for playing a sorcerer? I had been doing OK. Got as far as 
level seven and am all but two bubbles from level 8, but it's suddenly 
got really difficult. I've been trying some of the aqueduct quests and 
some instanced dungeons, which up until now, haven't been easy but I've 
been getting through them. Now, though I'm getting quests from the 
Taskmaster which take me into the nearby caves.

I manage to defeat the first creature or two, but then I get 
overwhelmed, they attack me in groups and I have no chance. I seem to 
spend more time sitting to regain health and endurance or being killed 
than anything else.

What good is sprinting, if most of the creatures still catch you? I've 
been trying to run away and hit them with spells from distance, but by 
the time I run away and turned round, then been told I've got to wait X 
number of seconds to cast a spell, the monster is on top of me and I'm 
back to hitting it with my staff, which is OK, if it's one on one, but 
hopeless if I'm outnumbered.

Can a sorcerer use any other weapons apart from the staff?

Any easier ways to gain experience and level up?

Anywhere I can find the specific locations for particular quest 
creatures? I've got a quest to kill a named river sprite and I've been 
searching both banks of the river by Camelot and haven't found it. Also 
I've got another one to find a particular named Zombie, I've been 
searching the hills and the graveyard without success.

Frustrated as I have been, just lately, I'm still keep playing, so that 
must say something :-)
