I tend to agree, but they don't need to be leveled up much, except for Halsin.

Minthara is fine as 5-6 but she could have a bit more help. Like a stealthed Drow Assassin working for her and some more goblin minions. Minthara's biggest problem is players abusing high ground or shoving her into a pit i.e. Larian's own additions that let you cheese the whole fight. And give her a Drow Half Plate for higher AC and a cooler appearance instead of that tired stock Ring Mail.

Ragzlin is pretty tough too on the goblinoid scale, I think he's fine. Same problem as with Minthara again, easily cheesable.

Halsin needs to be 10+ to be at all credible as an archdruid of a large Druid Circle. There are ways to explain why he got captured (being alone against an entire fortress already being enough, and the Absolute also has higher level servants who he could have met). From a writing point of view, I would establish Halsin as a "very powerful" mentor kind of character for the PC's, and then he could suffer Gorion's fate rescuing the party against a superior enemy for maximum dramatic impact.

Kagha and Olodan should be around 7-8 imo to be believable as second in command. Those fights involve many NPCs so they can be balanced with numbers.
