SPOILER
Their saving throws are really low. They fall prey easily to stinking cloud. The mages also have very low hp. Cloudkill and a well-aimed fireball will be enough to to take them out. If you're good you can get those off without ever coming into their line of sight. Just send a lone invis mage up and cast away. I killed everyone but Pebblecrusher before his dialogue was even triggered. Try holding or dominating the guy by the door, or peg him with arrows and get him to chase you downstairs to your waiting fighters. Pebblecrusher is the only one who presents any real threat, as long you knock the mages off before one can get a confusion off. Any halfway decent hasted fighter should be able to handle him though. Just keep a couple heal potions handy in case.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you kill the thief early, before he runs away. He's got a ring of invisibility on him (one of the most useful items in the game imo). Detect invis or truesight helps here. Or have one of your archers ding him while he's rendered unconscious via the stinking cloud.
