As always, thank you both for the advice. These boards are very helpful.
I probably was a bit too quick to post looking for help. After beating the Demonknight in the bowels of Durlag's Tower (somewhat easily to my surprise) I went to return the Soultaker back in Ulgoth's Beard.
The same thing that allowed me to easily defeat the demon must've turned the gods against me, because after trying 5 times those cult creeps wiped me out every time -- easily. I kept saying "I just beat a demon and these cultist can whoop me?!?!" I am a big fan of keeping my party intact. So if someone bites the dust and I'm too lazy to journey to a temple to raise them, I will reload the game from save and try again. Six is better than not and I am out of NPCs to add to my party at this point. (My party is: PC, Imoen, Jaheira, Kivan, Coran, Xan)
A Haste spell did the trick as did my spell-casters mirror-imaging themselves. Also, the "dice" must've rolled my way as I was able to whoop those culties fairly easy with minimal wounds this time. The antidotes worked well but I was down on using them. I've tried them before and sometimes they don't work. I assume certain toxins/poisons are more potent -- a la the Sword Spider?
Again thanks!
