Thanks for the helpful feedback! Unfortunately (or fortunately, as it turns out) I didn't get to employ these methods per se, as after posting the OP, I logged back on, and encountered the lyricist soon after. I ran back in the direction I came, and a pair of barbs ran past me going TOWARD the danger. I chose to be a coward and abandon them to their fate. (better them then me...=S)
About 3-5 minutes later, I came back that way to find the vengeful lyricist's corpse, with the journal page already looted. He didn't respawn for the rest of the night, and that makes me a happy panda. However, like the hair on a Halfling's shorn feet, I expect he'll be back before long, but this time I will be a bit more prepared. Thank you again for the tips and tricks.
