| dynaheir rocks, she's perfect. no summoning but that's what the wands are for.
craig,
summon some skeletons and maybe use the wand of monster summoning a couple of times. cast all your buff spells invisiblility 10', sanctuary, potions of giant strength, haste, stoneskin, resist fear, use some charm protection .
additionally, i've had good luck with melf's and chromatic orbs, i usually stay away from area effect spells with this fight due to all the summoning I usually use. the sanctuary will allow a cleric type to get in a good position to cast a dispel magic. the mage casts all kinds of protection. oh yeah, arrows of biting and dispelling work great also.
get those skeletons in the way of the spellcasters. they're bound to waste a dire charm or two on them.
the battle is very doable. it's what comes later on that's truly difficult. you've never seen the lower levels of the tower. it shouldn't be spoiled. wipe these guys out and press on. durlags tower is the best area in any of these games, by far.
