Yeah, "as much as possible" is overkill, but we had a much tougher time with Imp Sah City than Imp Guarded Cpd or Imp TorGal, using only Standard Procedures, i.e., no encounter-specific pre-buffing, save those pre-buffs which one might divine from context or dungeon dressing prior to the encounter, like the stone statues around the Basilisk in BGI, or simply the knowledge of what creatures we were going to face in Bodhi's lair.
Actually, we never did beat Imp Sah City starting Chapter 4 in the 11-12 range. We ended up writing off the party and starting anew, this time with a Thief->Mage and a Kensai...
