Yep, they are definitely level 14 in my game on tactical. I'd make a screenshot, but I'm not at home, but trust me, they are level 14 for whatever reason.
I'll try keeping my main character near the door, with my DK in front using sneak. My main character sucks so far, it doesn't seem like magic is worth it... I have an intelligence of 26, and an elemental blast with 2 fire points and 1 water point, but it barely scratches most monsters, while using 160 out of my total 550 magic points each shot.
In any case, the problem so far is that when I move my DK forward, he gets pounded by two melees and pelted with fire arrows. He literally almost gets instantly incinerated (200HP). I have to chain drink potions to keep up. He also uses a 2 handed sword, and is lucky to get in one swing for the enemies four swings.
Anyways, I haven't tried using sneak, which I'll do tonight. Thanks for the help. I really hate having to use the cheesy "use the exit" technique, but if that's what it takes...
Thanks again,
Ycore
