As a Warrior, I found FireWall to be the best spell available.  Cast it
directly on the Cabalists and listen to them fry.  Another solution is to
retreat slightly around a corner whenever you meet both.  The Drakes should
follow fast and give you a few moment to kill them before the Cabalists
find you again.  Don't go chasing Cabalists into areas you haven't been
before, duck behind walls instead.  You need to make sure you are capable
of dishing out lots of damage *fast* (usually a bastard or broad sword is
best--I used Griswold's Sword).  You might also try getting some resistance
items.  I remember finding that evey 30% resistance was very useful.
