Okay, here we go. Party of six: Braennor (human Paladin, shield and sword type), Dradan (dwarf Fighter, might have been using a two handed axe back then but I prefer to keep them alive, high constitution, there to take damage and pass round healing potions), Nulah the Devout( human Cleric, general healing, blesses, also uses a shield, sling and mace), Shareela(human Magic User, concentrated on offensive magic until high level encounters required the odd dispell), Scarrel(human Ranger, uses spears and bows, hates Umber Hulks), Endimar Lightfinger( Half Elf Fighter/Thief, bowman and trap dissarmer).
Befor I entered the room I saw what looked like a big door so I threw up an all out party bless and other protective magics (Braennors protection from evil etc) and then entered. I then did the lightning fast finger to space bar maneouver that saves parties lives. It relies on my finger moving to the space bar to order combat instructions before they enemies get to initate dialogue and then stomp all over me with their preset orders. Using this to full effect I managed to get an arrow headed off towards one of the serpent priests and a set of magic missiles headed towards the demon girl before she spoke and changed form. For those of you who know the AD&D system well demons take full effect from magic missiles and reduced damage from other things but more importantly magic missiles beat most other casting times and assure relative party safety from hostile magic. As soon as the conversation was over the missiles struck, Scarrel and Endimar redirected their fire to the beast, (since arrows often disrupt spell fire) and the rest of the party waited for her to arrive. As soon as she was near enough, Shareela threw a few more magic missiles and an area effect spell into the serpent priests (by not advancing I only had to face one or two of them at a time), Braennor, Dradan and Nulah laid into the vile creature in close combat and after a while Scarrel and Endimar got to start to pick off the priests. When the demon fell, Braennor and Dradan set to charging at the row of serpent priests from oposite ends whilst Nulah followed up behind them healing as she went. This was a slow process because Endimar ran ahead dealing with the traps. Of course there was all sorts of domination spells going off so I used characters with high AC's and HP's to attract controlled characters by punching them (for non lethal damage). GTG but I've got a screenshot somewhere and I'll see if I can remember anything else.
