Hmm, can't say what level they are but they were blue to me at 39. (Probably
32 to 35?) I was just there Christmas Eve in a group with
mid-to-upper-30's and maybe a 40. We cleared all the bats and bugs and
frogs. I read here that a bard used lament and could pull less than the
whole room - so I asked the group if they were up for trying it. And they
said sure.

I carefully moved around lamenting them all and then tried to pull the one
closest to the door. It happened pretty fast but I think one from the rear
pulled but 3 of the 5 stayed in the room. We killed the 2 pretty easily.
And then pulled the rest of the room.

We did this 3 times. The 3rd time I went to lament the first one and lament
was resisted, he agro'd and the whole room pulled. That was not good. I
did not have Lullaby memmed as I was using Pixie but the situation was
totally out of control. I gave a shout for "help in the bedroom" and
instantly a lev 50 enchanter and lev 50 wiz popped in and the enchanter
fired off AE mez and all the skellys went to sleep. Well, all except the
one the tanks were beating on. Thank the Gods they were /assisting!!! The
hi lev's saved our butts.

Could you have taken them? I would have to say no - maybe you could handle
a single - but you don't get singles easily. And then if you get a room
spawn, you have real trouble. They are nasty casters and can burn you down
very very fast. Especially if you get more than one. If you get the whole
room - it's a disaster - even for a mid to upper 30's group.

I have seen 2 groups - like 8 or so mid 30's move past them - agro the room
and then proceed to kill them all without too much difficulty. But trying
to pull them in singles - is risky. At lo 30's, fighting 5 red cons at the
same time is simply too much. I would be surprised if your party could all
make the zone if you had to run - and not sure the druid would have been
able to evac if she was getting burned by the skells.

Madagan, Bard of 31 songs - Veeshan

PS. Can anyone tell me what level Greater Ice bones are, I
was in the
bedroom in L Guk with my group and we had cleared the area.
I went round
the corner towards the Assasin room and there were 3 Gtr Ice
bones, all
conned red to me at level 30 so I didn't risk pulling them.
My group was
made up of 29 Druid, 30 Bard (me), 30 Paladin and 34 Mage
(with fire pet).
Would we of been able to take them?
