Welcome to Ironworks Solstize!

I know where you are. What i usually do is summon a skeleton or something and send it in the room of vampires to distract them and then cast sunray with the Daystar sword.

It sounds to me like you may not be high enough in character level to attempt the Firkragg dungeon yet. Maybe, go back out and do other quests to gain experience before attempting that Frikragg dungeon. If you are losing 4 characters on fights before you even reach Firkragg's lair... then you are not high enough in level yet for that dungeon.

You could try turning undead... with an invisible cleric.
Failing that, have Negative Plane protection on your character, and some spells that are good vs undead.
Daystar (found in the City Gates district behind a secret door in the Crooked Crane) should also help a lot. Failing that, level up some more.
Hope this helps.

Oh, I almost forgot, Welcome to IW!

Well there is some items out there that can help you against the level drain, what can be a real pain in the butt. If you take the shawdow theives route there is a amulet that you get that will help against the Vamps. And you can always cast Negative plane protection a 4th level spell.

Give a list of your charcters(all of them)and there level then more help can be on the way.

There is always cheat ways to get around the dragon. But some people do not cheat.

Perhaps Yoshimo's set special snare ability may help you do a little damage, if you lured them one at a time into a room. Do this by having only one see you, then running away. I'm not sure how effective this would be, but at least it would add some additional damage. Having Minsc go berserk may help and may give level drain protection... can anyone confirm this?

Minisc does not have protection. Only Barbarian rage does. The Barbarian rage is much better.

OK, thanks.
As Mack_Attack said, we could help more if we had a list of characters and levels.
