I seem to be having a tough time with Mencar Pebblecrusher. I have been able to wipe out the sorcerrer first to avoid the confuse spells but the other members of the gang always seem to do me in. I have used haste, bless, chant and strenthen spells. What other strategy/tactic works well for this band? btw I have completed the battle with 1/3 of my party being killed but was wondering if there was a better way to approach this where all my six party members can remain alive. TIA btw my party members are at levels 5-6

Characters start off at level 7 minimum, multiclassed start around 6/6. Where did your level 5-6 members come from?

Mebble Pebblecrusher is a fight on the second floor of the Den of the Seven Vales in Waukeen's Promenade.

Leave him until later, when you've gained a few levels.

Since they don't have magic resistance, I don't think it's that cheesy to fire a Wand of Cloudkill into the middle of the room. After that you could be cheesy and make your mage invisible and have everyone else scurry downstairs while the idiots stand around and take damage. The mage will cast True Sight, so have Nondetection or the Cloak of Nondetection on your mage.

You can attempt this fight if you wish it is possible to win. Mencar Pebblecrusher is a real threat try getting someone to cast a hold spell on him, this will allow you to take him out. You have the right idea about the mage as well take him out fast to avoid his chaos spells. Another good tactic is to set some traps with Yoshimo these can inflict hold on people. Good luck you can do it!

Summoning some help is good too. Animal Summoning is nice but Fire Elementals are the best (don't know if your party's level is high enough).

Use the Ring of Charisma thing to charm Smaeluv Orcslicer. Then just send fireballs in (even two will do it). Most likely Pooky and the Sorcerous Amon will die, leaving you with Mencar, Brennan Risling, and a "friendly" foe. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I did this fight solo with my level 11 sorc. I just fired off a few webs in the room, and then sent in the reinforcements (aka spider summons) to mop up the group. If you have trouble with web holding them, fire off a greater mallision first.
