So your DC Illusionist, Linzi and Tartuccio together do not have enough tools to CC them? Hmmm...I am finding the mansion manageable, but not ironmanable without considerable luck.
Also, if there is an NPC ally in a fight it is suggested that the party sneaks and do not intervene. Allied NPC's have the same Unfair bonuses as the enemies, so they kill each other more efficiently. The party, obviously, does not have those bonuses.
