If you have trouble fighting her, spread out your (ranged) party members outside the inn. Walk one party member inside, talk to her and exit the Inn as soon as she starts casting - wastes her initial spell, and she will follow you outside. You can now fight her with the assistance of the guards (and Rasaad), who will more than likely interrupt her castings. Also, with your spread out party, they don't all get hit by her disabling spells like they would cluttered around the entrance.

This only works in EE or Tutu, since in the original BG1, (most) enemies wouldn't or couldn't navigate doors.

Double Cheese: Quaff Imoen's starting potion of speed. Enter, talk, exit on cast, and immediately enter again. She'll cast a second spell, exit again. Repeat around five times - and all of her spells will never activate and are wasted. This tactic works on a lot of caster types in BG1 and BG2.
