I tried blessing the guys but I didn’t think about blessing the fire… Aargh!
I just finished that fight and I pretty much cheesed it. I have three people in my party with teleport. I positioned them spread out and would teleport from player one to player two to player three to the courtyard outside the consulate. It seems that the one patch of Necro fire in the corner outside is too far away for them to respawn in. Plus it gets some of the NPC‘s involved in the battle. Not that I really need their help but what the heck.
Once I figured out that strategy the battles want the tough actually. Of course I had to kill the first guy like seven times before I figured out it wasn’t working!
