Swamp Witch's hut OP
Anyone have a good strat for this? 3/4 of my party gets CC'd right off the bat and the Scarecrow has major damage reduction. I can't even get to the witch with charge or spells.

Question is, why do you want to kill the witch in first place ? She's not a bad guy and is even useful for some quests.

Whatever choices I mad led to aggro from the scarecrow and then the witch it seems.

summon stuff to eat the CCs? Spread out? Would a scarecrow be vulnerable to fire, perhaps (I don't know!). Maybe leave her alone and come back later?

IIRC, the Scarecrow uses a free, unlimited, AoE Fascinate each round. This has a high chance of eventually freezing your entire group (including most summons), except the one being currently attacked by the scarecrow & witch.

I think skeletons (from animate dead) and Jaethal are immune to Fascinate. You can also free your party members from Fascinate by damaging them; e.g. the AoE splash from bombs should work if you have any bombs in your inventory, or you could have Jaethal or some other caster free ppl with Acid splash. Stinking cloud might disable the scarecrow and/or witch if they are vulnerable to poison.

That said, it is best to leave her alive -- just ring her doorbell politely instead of throwing rocks through her windows! She is needed for several quests which give you more XP than if you just kill her & her pet.

Well, I have usually thrown the rock... but it never ended with her attacking me.

Yeah there's a DC check on throwing rocks. If it goes threw the window it's a fight. If it doesn't (success) she just gets briefly mad like an old woman would with kids throwing pebbles at her windows. :p

Like others have said keep her alive. Her story and the area is a lot more interesting that way and it means a lot more exp and completion.

Just ring the damn bell, that's what it's there for!

Good tips! Thanks, all!

To add, the fight was much harder because I had just fought two groups of wisps. They are the biggest pain in the ass....

Resist Energy, Communal (Electricity) and wisps are far less of a bother. Should be available to level 5 arcane/divine casters.
