Major tactics spoilers:

1. Rest up on top of the tower after taking out the halfdragon delegates.

2. Completely buff up your party. Use your best buffing spells and any saved up potions.

3. The twins are every bit as magically buffed up as your party. Don't expect to defeat them quickly.

OK... At this point there are a few ways to do it. However, let's say that the one major is to survive long enough for the twin's defenses to expire.

But first.... At the start of the battle, ignore the twins. Take out the spellcaster immediately BEHIND the twins with ranged weapons.

Also, have your primary mage and your primary medic run AWAY from the twins to the bottom of the screen/room. Why, you ask? One of the twins will nearly immediately cast a Blasphemy spell on your party that will temporarily stun your party. If these two characters run away from the rest of your party they will be outside of the Blasphemy's area of effect. They will be able to continue the fighting for the round or 2 that your stunned.

Have your 2 casting characters summon up some allies! Have those allies focus on the twin's allies. Also summon some monsters to keep the twins occupied. It's better that the twins bash up a few undead monsters than your party.

Your primary mission at first needs to be to take out all of the twins' allies, not the twins themselves. When your other party members come out of their Blasphemy stun, have them focus on the twins' allies.

BTW, there's a nasty summoning mage in the room to your party's right. Send a character over to take him out ASAP. That summoning mage will keep summoning monsters and they'll overwhelm you if you don't take him out.

After you've taken out the twin's allies, send in your summoned monsters to attack the twins.

Oh, and BTW there is a slightly cheesy way to deal with the twins... At some point in your travels, you probably picked up a Protection from Magic scroll or 3. Cast the PfM scroll(s) on one or both of the twins. This will TOTALLY wipe out all of the magical defenses that they have. It's best to use this tactic after you'd taken out the twins' monster allies, since you don't want those allies attacking the PfM casting character and losing the spell.

I'll stop for now. There's more that I could say, but these tips will get your thru the first part of the battle.
