Don't feel too bad for Timeon. He has a bright future ahead of him! Balin was tough. Even with a suprise round by the PC's, he was able to cleave and take down one of them with a single blow. Without surprise, he would have been very dangerous
Yeah, he'd three of my party down and bleeding out before the monk got him in a grapple and Grumblejack finished the job. (My guys took Grumblejack along)
