What githyakis? He doesn't mean that one at all. What he means is the fight in the "Den of seven Whales" or whatever the name of the inn is, next to "Mithrest Inn" on Waukeen's Promenade.

As for the fight, then yes, if your party is lower level, then the fight will be hard. Dwarf alone has some 200+ HP. The berserker there can hit pretty hard as well, wielding the Two Handed Sword +3, Cursed Berserking (yes, the oldie from BG1).

If you just started the game and have some lvl 7-8 chars, then skip this for now. Get a bit more XP, couple more levels, and then come back. As for killing them - many ways here. I used the "bash 'em" method, i.e. went up but stayed at the stair, slapped on buffs, Hasted all, used Yoshi to set traps near the door, used one char to get the attention and make them hostile, move back to the group.. First ones who came got whacked by traps hard, and then the hasted party tanks started the beating. Dwarf and berserker never had really any chance. Their thief was revealed by True Sight and didn't last long enough against a tank. Mage and his familiar went down fast as well, familiar tad later even then the mage [img]smile.gif[/img]

From buffs, the standard ones: Bless, Chant, Defensive Harmony, Haste, Stoneskin, Blur, True Sight. Magic Missiles to get some quick punch in from mages at times. Of course, it also depends on the level of the party.. I once quite forgot about that little team up there and recalled it when I had already done many quests and such - then the party member levels were high enough, so that my main char went and smacked the wazoos out of them all alone hehe..
