All these strategies listed here will will work well. I found that after spending a half day trying to finish off Saervok and his band of merry murderers the first time going through the game. I came up with a simple strategy similar to the others listed here. The easiest and simplest way I found starts with making sure your mage has at least 2 wands of summoning though 3 is better in case. Arm the rest of your party with the most potent missle weapons or bows they can use. First, send one of your party out into the alcoves closest to the doors and lure out the Battle Horrors one at a time and get them out of the way. Then as explained earlier send your thief out looking for traps. I think the left side of the room is the easiest to find and disarm. I spread the rest of my party members out close to the door. Hide in the shadows with your thief and move up to the point of making contact. Saervok will still see you and its on. Run your thief back (duh) to join the rest of the party. As soon as the first bad guy show up just have your mage start summoning monsters like crazy. Even is it looks like there are a ton already. At this point it really doesn't matter which bad guys show up because they will be distracted by the monsters and the rest of the party can hammer on them with missle weapons. When Saervok shows up I usually concentrate my fire on him because when he dies the game ends regardless of the other baddies still standing. Of course use your haste potions and anything else that helps at this time no need to conserve them. This startegy worked very well doing a solo with a FMT. Got it done in one try.
