Wow! that's an excessive amount of monsters for each encounter. the worst i've had was 3-4 sprites (of various variety:tree, leaf, etc...) and occasionally accompanied by some rats. anyway, some things that help against the sprites is the element shield which will reduce the damage of the acid splash spell that most of these sprites tend to cast. finally, since the game isn't time sensitive you could try sleeping several times in hopes that some of the monsters have left the area. actually, my final say would be to find a decent building and just lure them up there then use a tactic mentioned above so that you only face one at a time. once they are all dead, rest up and look for some more to kill. take your time and kill 'em all! muahahha short of getting one of your guys kill the worst thing that could happen is that you gain lotsa xp.
