This is excellent knowledge. I must have missed that. I poured over guides and even read the manual before I started but there's too much information to absorb at once.

Most of my damage must have come from my fighter's stolen Conlan's Hammer and my ranger's magic mace. I probably wasted all of my (few) magic arrows on that mummy.

Not familiar with the priestess but I'm sure we'll be acquainted.

Oh, you will....

How did you get Conlan's hammer? It's not available until much later...

As for the arrows, sounds like you let the skeleton archers use up their ammo or you used it up elsewhere. I prefer to send a tank out and draw them back to the party that's waiting around some corner. The tank melee's to keep it from using its arrows.

I stole the hammer from the chest in the back of Conlan's shop. I felt bad doing it.

I'm not sure what you are referring to with the arrows. I used up my own magic arrows trying to take the mummy out.

Those resistant guys can be a pain in the ass! Is there a list of monsters and their resistances?

Some of it is probably mentioned in the manual. The rest is either quite logical or for you to find out.

I didn't think that lock could be picked! Something new for me to remember.

Skeleton archers use and carry a variety of ammo, some magic, some mundane. Arrows are always readied, but the bundle in their inventory can be bolts, bullets or arrows. That's why I always draw them to the party where they can be melee'd without drawing more enemies into the battle (they don't use the swarm AI of orcs and goblins).

The manuals GoG has won't help you with resistances. That would require the hint books. Unfortunately I've only found them with the Icewind Dale Ultimate Collection. They may be out there on some web site...
