I have heard some people talk about entering an area and seeing impossibly stronger monsters destroy their party if they are below minimum level for that area. I don't recall seeing this, tho.

My party is lev 9. After clearing out most of the Trynton Zoo here comes 3 Willow Elders (lev 10, can almost handle them one-on-one) and a lev 13 Wood Spirit (lev 13). I tried letting the Trynnie Champions wipe them out but they ended up dead, as did the party. I tried a few ways to get to them but the best I could do is to outlast them until they retreated. If I got too close I would have at least one dead so I relied entirely on Trynnies, hiding, healing, guardian angel and magic potions. Too early to have Element Shield with this party. Perhaps Faerie parties may get as high as lev 13 here (?), but a lev 7 crush from a critter with 430 HP certainly takes the wind out of your sails.
