don't pay. besides the fact that 5k that early in the game is a ton to give up, there's the principal of not letting those arrogant, hypocritical bastards take your hard earned cash.

my usual route to rid myself of these jerks is to set a few traps then have my mage cast polymorph self. once the first guy gates in and gives the warning (and this one has no spells btw, he's just stoneskinned), change to mustard jelly. they might hit you with a pierce magic and take your resistance a little below 100%. since you can't cast spells while poly'd, keep a wand of fireball or cloudkill in a quickslot and just wear them down. another character out of sight with dispel magic, breach, and/or true sight can speed the battle along.

unless youve got a sorcerer, youre really missing out on chances to get very nice spells.
