Encounter 3 is definitely on the lower side of Hard at 600 xp which is fine for a end day fight. I'd say you should be fine pending the player's ability to play their characters in a synergistic manner.  If they play badly (not roll badly although they can be a factor) then these might end up tough encounters but I wouldn't expect a TPK out it.</blockquote>
