Ah, the Slave Lords of the Guarded Compound. I remember that encounter; I ladled out the defensive spells, emptying Nalia, Anomen and Jahiera of all useful preotective enchantments; set the best weapons we had, with the party on Haste; and charged up the stairs to meet the foe sword-to-sword.
After the first fifteen tries, I had managed to survive for an impressive minute and a half.
After the first twenty tries, I had managed to kill half of them.
After going away and gaining a few levels here and there, we came back and got them on the third try. But ye gods, they're 'ard!
NOTE: Has anyone noticed that if an invisible thief triggers the release of the monsters and then runs away fast before they appear, they fight themselves? Good ol' Pit Fiends!
