I'm amazed [img]graemlins/crazyeyes.gif[/img] you encountered creatures 3 levels higher than your party at novice. I though that was a *ahum* privilege reserved for the higher difficulties.

The encounter you describe is very tough. It is a combination of a number of different enemies complementing each other. The behemoths keep you occupied while the weeds disable you (nauseate). And this gives the behemoths the change to do a lot of damage (nauseated means lower armor). And running away is almost impossible because of the bats. Bad combination indeed.

If you are sure you can't beat them I suggest retreating to another zone (ie monastary) and hope that different groups will spawn on the road.
But first try all the tactics you can think of. Use all the potions, powders, artifact and spells, just to see what works.

I learned a lot from seemingly impossible battles.

Good hunting!
