Grachus Options

[Lemernis]

I hate to admit it, but I wonder if Grachus's Wind Horrors are too much for the particular party I'm using. My guess is I could probably take Grachus and only the three summoned undead humans. But not along with those four Horrors as well.

I'm using an unconventional party composition, and I guess it's now catching up with me:

PC Wild Mage 7
Imoen Thief 8
Minsc Berserker 8 (via Drew's mini-mod)
Xzar Necomancer 7
Tiax Cleric 6/Thief 7
Finch Cleric 7

I just cannot seem to find a way to fend off Grachus' seven powerful undead summons. I'm at the point where I'm considering going back to a pre-Grey Clan save and leaving this adventure for a future, more conventional party.

Before I give up, any thoughts on how I can get defeat Grachus with this bunch?

(Note: I'm playing with Sword Coast Stratagems installed. I have no idea if those amazing AI tweaks overlap with TGC's content or not, but they don't appear to.)

I haven't checked how Strategems affects the difficulty, but as far as scripts are concerned, most (if not all) Grey Clan enemies have their own scripts, so other mods shouldn't influence them.

Wind Horrors are one of the most powerful servants of Xephistagoras (mentor of Grachus). Try to lure them to Tergius with a fast/hasted character. Talibehius should also help, his armour isn't particularly massive though. There is a complete solution of the Grachus battle here: http://greyclan.blackwyrmlair.net/ep1/extras_2.html
With some adjustments for your party, I think it's possible to win the battle with that tactic.
