Ranged: +1 Magic Longbow +3 to hit 1d8+1 (10 arrows)

Spells: To cast +2 Spellcheck DC 13, Save Against DC 13, 3 failures/encounter

Magic Missile: 6 impact damage + Knocked down. (Ref Sv all damage) Short range. 

(Just to make things simple, the Elf Warriors only use this spell here. Figure 1/3 are casting spells, 1/3 firing arrows, and the rest are engaging in melee.)

Duke Torren (or another Elf noble if needed)

HD 6, Hp 36, AC 17 (+2 magical Elvish chain mail shirt), Enhanced Init +3

Fort +2, Ref +8, Will +5

(Immunity to sleep spells and effects, ghoul paralysis, and a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects.)

Spells: To cast +5 Spellcheck, Save Against DC 15, 3 failures/encounter

1^st Level Spells, DC 13 to cast

Magic Missile: 9 impact damage + Knocked down. (Ref Sv all damage) Short range.

Shield: Invisible disc gives + 4 to AC, blocks magic missiles. Encounter.

2nd Level Spell, DC 14 to cast

Web: Fills 20-ft.-radius spread with sticky spiderwebs. Entangled 4 rds (Ref Sv to avoid. DC 18 Str to break or Escape Artist skill)

Displacement: Successful attacks miss subject 50%. Encounter.

Hold Person: Paralyzes one humanoid for 6 rds. (Will Sv)

Lightning Bolt: 11 electrical damage + Stun 1 rd + Knocked Down. (Ref Sv ½ damage) Medium range.

(Torren will have already cast Displacement and Shield upon himself before the attack begins.  He’ll attempt to capture a character using Web and Hold Person and drag them into the Larder.  If those fail, he’ll likely focus on using Lightning Bolt and his bow to kill.  Torren will hang back to the rear of fight, keeping at least a couple of Elves between himself and the party.)

Goblin Warriors (20/10 reinforcements)

HD 1, Hp 3, AC 15 (rough leather armor)

Fort +3, Ref +1, Will –1

Melee: Short Sword +2 to hit 1d6

Ranged: Javelin +3 to hit 1d4

(Figure half the group throwing Javelins and the other half engaging in melee.  Unlike the Elves, the Goblins do not have the Crackshot ability and must make a Called Shot (natural 12) against someone engaged in melee, or they’ll hit the other person. 

Here, the Goblins will make an attempt at grappling in a Swarm to take a captive.  They’ll attack in groups of 4, at +4 to hit.  DC 18 Str check or Escape Artist to get free the next rd.  It will take the Goblins 2 rds to drag a held person off into the Larder and disappear.)
