[QUOTE="Xune Woe, post: 1811326, member: 7505"] Yes, they survived. The 3rd level fey'ri sorcerer had damage resistance 10/+1 and she mainly hovered over the party (flying) while raining down 1st level spells (magic missile, ice dagger, etc.). She was able to escape before the PCs killed her. She actually took no damage during the fight. However, the fey'ri Ranger and sun elf rogue (both 3rd-lvl) were on the ground fighting the PCs. Unfortunately the two NPCs were supposed to work together concentrating on one PC (flanking, sneak atk, etc.), but they were split apart by the PCs. The ranger took on the dwarf fighter/rogue and just got some really poor atk rolls. I think he hit the dwarf once during the 4 rounds or so combat lasted. The elven rogue went up against the priest PC and scored maybe one hit. You're right though, the fey'ri have an ECL of +2 (+3 if they have certain racial abilities). I really thought this would be a tough fight for the PCs, however I guess I can just chalk it up to (1.) Poor atk rolls by the NPCs, (2.) Strategy of two main NPC fighters disrupted (not able to flank opponent PC), (3.) Main dwarf ftr/rogue PC is pretty efficient in combat (high AC, and substantial atk bonuses). [/QUOTE]
