How do I kill Ragzlin, the drow, and Priestess Gut?

[carrotboy]

I was trying not to save scum, or do it only on genuine mistakes, but the combat is kicking my but so hard I am forced too. I am using Astarion assassin, Lae'zel, Gale, and a fighter, all level 4. I got Priestess Gut to the room by herself. Astarion is the only one who can attack her before she has initiative and calls 10 goblins to help. Two sneak attacks with Astarion is impossible to kill her unless one is a critical hit maybe. Ragzlin... he is in a room with 10 enemies, enough said there, not sure what to do. All my weapons and damage dealers do somewhere between 5-10 damage, usually always 6 for some reason. You miss half those shots. So in a combat where I have 4 combatants dealing maybe 18 damage every turn, against a room full of enemies with about 150 health and dealing easily 30 damage a turn, not sure how to win that. No complaints about the game, I am just not sure how to get it done. I am playing on "Balanced" difficulty. May turn it to easy unless someone tells me I am missing some obvious part of how combat works.

You can break or silence the war drums and they wont be able to call for help. Also kill off the scrying eye. Ragzlin will probably be the hardest since hes immediately surrounded by the most enemies but there is also some high ground rafters for any casters or ranged party memebrs you can prep before fighting

you can - call ogres for help, convince spiders to help you. Get bomb barrels in the room near merchant and just drop them on all boses. Or you can jsut sneakly push them and kill ( you can do that with ragzalin only when hi gives a speech though) - portion of invisibiliy reccomended

also if you can push or pull enemies into the spider pits the spiders will help you too. the nautiloid had some pods you can throw and pull enemies with if you have any of those still, or you can just shove and/or agonizing blast them in

What I personally do:

Gut: Hold Person, surround with melee fighters.

Razglin: There's rafters above him. Climb up and rain death. If someone else climbs up, shove them off for fall damage. Burst him down since he's the biggest threat. Then the Booyahgs.

The last one whose name I always forget: Just gank and shank, they go down easier than gut and then you just have 1-4 goblins and a scrying eye to clean up depending on your timing.

Save the drow for last because (edit: removed because spoiler tag wasn't working)

I used basic tactics of making the enemy come to me. For all of them I pick a position that would bottleneck the incoming attack and pulled back so they gave chase.

Used Astarion to stealh kill all nearby guards for the lady, then destroy nearby drums and the eye, start talking to her while Astarion lines up a sneak attack/plain attack. With initiative can do a lot of damage and get it over quick.

The drow, there is an explosive barrel upstairs I think, I placed it in front of him and got Gale to summon a cat and meow, everyone went to it and boom, all should be dead apart from the drow which will be easy enough to finish.

Gut and her lot were immediately hostile despite them being unaware of what has happened, afaik. Can get ranged users above onto the rafters and hide the melee characters near the bottom of the ladder. Braziers dangling above her head, grease potions, can get creative.

Just the ways I went with, there are tons of other weird ways to go about things
