Are these blinks?  I think several people are confusing these for bigger
monsters from deeper down (actually called gargoyles), but I wouldn't
expect to see real gargoyles (that turn to stone and back) on L5 catacombs.

These are Familiars and are immune to lightning.

I'm not sure what creature you are referring to here.

Just about everything I've run into in the catacombs falls by fire.  The
two exceptions are burning dead, but your holy bolt will chew through them and
a few Fire Goat Clan (which usually fall well to lightning).

The Familiars (orangish colored) are lightning immune, but susceptible to
fire bolts.

I suspect that part of your problem is that your Magic is way too low.  I've
been playing a Sorceror (he's now level 15) who has his magic up to 108 (and
has ~250 mana points).  He's been this strong since about level 11 (I've
been working on strength & dex).  Note that Firebolt damage is primarily
controlled by your magic level, so having a low magic (from your mana,
somewhere around 60 I'd guess), is costing you damage.   For me, all the
little flying creatures except for the Boss (glows bright red and is usually
next to the blood stone quest) go down in one firebolt hit (it usually takes
me two shots to actually hit unless they are close).  I would guess it will
take you two firebolt hits per creature.  I've also found that firewall
works well on large packs.  

See if you can find some magic items to boost your magic ability.  Note that
most of the little flying creatures have few hp for the level (I don't
remember what the numbers are off the top of my head, but 15-25 would be
my guess)...

If you have more specific question (or the actual names of the creatures), I
might be able to give you more exact advice.  Also, are you playing single
or multi-player?
