Dark blue, although they start to green out by the upper 50's. I don't remember how many clicks it took to kill them; it's been a long time since the wife was leveling her Shaman (that would've been late 2012). I do remember this for the drolvarg captain area:

5 was preferred for the sake of simplicity.
6 was doable but annoying solo.
7 was the maximum, and it left the shaman about out of mana at the end of it. Fighting that many or more consistently would most likely warrant either much better equipment (not too hard with Velious out) or additional mana regeneration from clarity or a fungi tunic, and preferably all three.

Note that this is one area where it appears P1999 might not be fully classic. There's significant evidence that root from a single player should not hold on more than four targets at once. I can't recall ever having done that sort of thing in the original game so I have no personal memory to confirm or deny such claims.

Although glossed over, it should be reminded that the Jaundiced Bone Bracer allows for fairly easy leveling for only modest (and re-sellable) expense.
