I visited her on Monday and while I did not sleep I did exit the citadel and return later. Her HP were still at the level I left her with. A mage with blood and elemental magic over 50 can spawn skeletons to act as a diversion while you come around behind her and use the ember staff. Leave the citadel and use a small shelter on the platform for rest and eitr regen. Re-enter and repeat. Skeletons do a good job and will take out even seekers at that BM level.

Attempts with the skeletons weren't encouraging. Generally wiped out by the Seekers. How do you get skills over 50? Just go out and blow up vast amounts of stuff?
