I am getting murdered here. I have my character, a barbarian, Sand, Elanee, Zhjeeve, and Shandra. Of course, Shandra is out of it but the rest of my people are killed almost immediately. I have used all the healing potions I have and this guy just annihilates us. Help.

Have sand cast protection from alignment (evil) on the barbarian...not sure if warlocks can attack will save but if they can then thats a problem..

Have Sand buffed with mirror image in case Warlock summons something with a script (I forget). And if he summons barkskin on everyone will help. Maybe try a bigby's one that knocks them disabled if he can cast it.

Attack warlock with the barbarian. Have Sand memorize lots of direct damage spells like issaacs lesser and greater missile storms. Have Elanee summon something mean (she is a spontaneous summoner like a cleric is a spontaneous healer...look at her hotbook 'b') with the first round. Then have her blast away with lighting.

Zhaere is a caster cleric. Do not melee. Use cleric attack stuff. I don't know casting clerics that well.

I always have Sand buffed with Mirror Image and Greater Stoneskin (or Premonition, if you're high enough level). That should keep him alive from physical... have him cast some spell protection when you get in (one of the anti-energy spells as well as a Spell Mantle). He should pretty much be unkillable at this point unless someone hits him with a lot of dispel.

For hurting the warlock, I love Avasculate. Half dead with a ranged touch, with I'm almost certain no save OR SR. Maybe SR, but certainly no save. Then just go knock him down with the barbarian. If melee is doing nothing, try throwing a Spell Breach or Greater Dispel at him. And, as the previous poster said, the Missile Storms really shine vs. saves or difficult to hit opponents. He will TAKE Xd6 damage, period.

One thought though... even though barbarians are pretty good in melee, I think you're running a bit caster heavy, unless Elanee/Zhjaeve is some form of fighter build. If not, I'd consider finding room for (since you're the tank) Neeshka, a damage-focused Khelgar, or Bishop (whichever fits your RPing for that character).
