I actually did use sneak to get by the patrols, but I did take out a few deathknights that spotted me. The main difference is that the patrols were level 13, and I only had to handle one at a time. It was still a tough fight that would require that my DK drink about eight healing potions. These guys are level 14 however, and there's four of them.
I didn't think about using sneak in this scenario, simply because I didn't plan on sneaking by them. However, I now see how this might allow me to single them out to take them on one by one, which will obviously help out quite a bit.
My savegame is version 1.45, maybe they boosted the level of Samuel's guards in this version?
Thanks for all the help-- now I can't wait until work is over so I can give it a try <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
