Was the vampire oracle in at the time? It seems to have a
larger aggro radius. When I was level 42, I didn't have any
problems pulling the two far gargoyles without getting the
negotiator room except one time when the oracle was in.

That corner between the gargoyles and kitchen is safe too (out
of aggro radius) *except* when the vampire oracle walks by due
to a train.

There's a secret hall between the music room and negotiator
room. Most reports I've seen say to fight in there. I've
always pulled both rooms to the maid/butler and kitchen areas.
