I would have said the swords' inherit magical properties allowed them to be used as implements to channel magical energies through.   add the following Trait to stat blocks:"Unless the killing blow is from one of the swords or channeled through one of the swords, the angel and his men restore to full hit points 2 rounds after defeat." They get knocked down, but get right back up.  Perfectly fine to have unbeatable encounters. Just make sure the players realize the enemies knows the players are beneath them and verbalize that. Perhaps the enemies mock thier feeble hits.  4e's default setting is very much like this, towns are points of light in the wilderness. Feel free to file the serial off any creature and call it something else with the same stats.  Encounters don't have to be limited to a single room. Nor are traps skill challenges (tho they can be). If you have a party of 6, you have an XP budget for 6 to make an encounter. Have 4-6 traps of various level and 1 golem. Put the traps in different rooms. Have the golem chasing them to impose a time crunch to limit healing. They can outrun the golem and get to the next trap, but if they stop for a short rest, they have to fight it.If it's the guardian of a dungeon, drop clues that it can only be defeated by smashing whatever runes are embeded in each room the traps are in. It gets killed, it re-assembles after 2 rounds and chases the players again. Add 1 round to the delay to get back up for each trap they destroy, showing that it's weakening.  You can give it whatever powers you want. Give it some bard powers, some wizard powers, and use which ever ones you want.  Kobolds are not particularly threatening indiviudally, but given large numbers of the vermin, or particularly talented amongst the tribe...</blockquote>
