One boneclaw has these spells:
3/day -- chill touch(Fort 16)
2/day -- fog cloud, quickened wither limb(Fort 17), maximized vampiric touch
1/day -- black bag*, solid fog, wrack(Fort 18)

The other has these:
3/day -- chill touch(Fort 16)
2/day - inflict moderate wounds(2d8+10 Will 17), fog cloud, quickened bands of steel(Ref 18), maximized shivering touch(18 Dex damage, melee touch)
1/day - death grimace*

With the +19 Hide, +23 Move Silently, and 2 castings of fog cloud, they're quite capable of sneaking up on PCs. Once they're in range, Standstill keeps PCs from entering melee, while their various nasty spells make the party helpless. Going for coup de grace is a valid option, but mine slap masterwork manacles on the helpless PCs, put neckaces of adaptation on them, then drop them into a bag of holding for "later". Enjoy! I welcome comments/questions/exclamations of disgust.
