Best way to get a BAR and a HUM together at level 1?

[Mentathiel]

The biggest issue for a Barbarian Shaman is going to be how isolated Halas is. Unless you can get to the Timorous Deep, the closest port in is via WK (crossing four zone lines) and that will suck even with SoW up.

At first, your best hope may be to do a '/w all blackburrow' and see if you can beg someone to clear the tunnel for you. You might make it through the tunnels with SoW, a good map and a lot of luck. Like others have said, leave Halas behind until much later. Personally, I think there's a point where you might as well just head back into Halas to pick up spells (assuming you don't get a donation of plat or help from a friendly shaman of an evil race) if you don't mind taking a break from grinding every five levels.
