I am having a LOT of trouble at the top of the War Tower, when the half-dragon delegation arrives. I'm looking for some tactics to try to get through this battle. Here's my party...

Taligen - lvl 16 Tiefling Fighter - longsword & shield
Khorgan - lvl 17 Dwarf Fighter - greataxe
Riven - lvl 17 Wild Elf Ranger - longsword & shortsword
Arbriand - lvl 17 Human Cleric of Lathander - mace & shield
Arleth - lvl 9/8 Moon Elf Rogue/Wizard - dual shortswords, but mainly bow - he's been with me since BGI - he was my Bhaalspawn & is a given in all my IE games [img]smile.gif[/img]
Kylie - lvl 17 Moon Elf Transmuter - bow

[this is my first time through & the party was more role-playing choices than Min/Max, so I'm hoping for more than "try a different party" advice [img]smile.gif[/img] ]

I have tried several times with this battle with the half-dragon delegation at the top of the War Tower in the Severed Hand & I keep getting killed. I've tried turtling to the right, left, & bottom (where you start). I've tried summoning everything I can right from the start (unfortunately, the start of the dialogue seems to disrupt my spells) & waiting for the dialogue to finish to summon all I can. I've tried dropping all my AoE spells on the area. I've tried wading in (died real quick that time). I'm at a loss. What tactics should I try to beat this battle? Needless to say, I buff up at the bottom of the stairs leading up there, but what else should I try?

Thanks,
Imrahil
