They dont need to be so far ...
That happened just bcs Swen wanted to show us that he will deal with Hag solo with his druid ...
When i approached Hag, i had all my party prepared just there in that gate, stealthing ... then they sneak inside and attacked her one by one.
Bcs its effective as hell, Hag had almost half HP gone before her first move.

Im not quite sure if that is conciderable as exploit,
personaly i see more exploits in that you can lock her in chat ... and while she is waiting for your talking character to choose his reaction, you can sneak behind her, and showe her down.

That doesn't feel even partially fair, they were right there and prepared for the fight. Why are they late for the fight?
I believe i know answer for this one ...
If you sneak them to battle properly, you are able to attack from real time - world ... that is your first attack you are skiping otherwise ... pretty powerful tho since all your characters are attacking at same time and NPC have no way to defend themselves against it (except AC and saving throws ofc.).
And if you dont, well that is your price to pay, when you decided to try to use this approach ... not sure, but i take it as they are simply surprised. :-/
