With some luck you could attempt to bluff that you were casting a ritual that summons a super-ally so they thought they had to attack *you*... or whatever would appear to kaibosh the enemies plans/hopes.---Overall though it sounded like you guys went in knowing you were behind the eight ball, and you probably should have had some kind of plan - escape or otherwise - before engaging.  Sounds like an epic battle though, and you won the glory at least!  have fun with the next batch.  It's always cool to know your victories are well earned and you've overcome "real" danger, fudging dm's are pretty lame IMO.</blockquote>
