Guys, consider me unavailable all day today. I'll try to check in, but I can't make any promises. My wife think's she might be delivering our baby today!
Baldwin do what you like with Balthazar. When outnumbered he'll try to use web, using the flaming bow to turn through squares if the party needs to pass through. He'll always use evil eye on an appropriate target, selecting either -2 to Saves or -2 to AC, etc, and will cackle as a move round to keep it active.
Against a big baddie, he'll evil eye saves, and then use misfortune hex, keeping both active with cackle.
I will be off to work soon but will try to lookin. Icabhod will use his axe or whatever appropriate weapon against any foes that pop up. If seriously
wounded, he will defensivly cast a cure spell.
Hmm.. Well Icabhod can cast CSW into the undead and you can channel again so that might help finish if off if our wizards use things like magic missile.

Doesn't the following quote say something different about Magic Missles?
A creature swarm is immune to any spell or effect that targets a specific number of creatures (including single target spells such as disintegrate), with the exception of mind-affecting effects if the swarm has an Intelligence score and a hive mind.

Magic missile should not affect a swarm. My understanding is that any spell which targets a single creature or target has no affect on a swarm. On the other hand area spells affect them. Thus, burning hands, fireball, lightning bolt and so forth work well. Magic missile, scorching ray, and any other ray type attack should not work.

Not sure about Magic Missile specifically, but a rat swarm is composed of tiny creaturs, which I think we face (shadowy, but still rats) and swarms of tiny or larger creatures can be targeted with weapons - they do half damage. Now because these are incorporeal you need a +1 weapon to harm them. If you have no better option you can missile them. You could also missile the caster in the window if we can get clear of this ash storm. :)
I fear that with weapons we are doing half for incorporeal and half again for swarm traits.
My next actions will likely be to use the wand to cast Lesser Restoration on myself and then move out of the swarm.
Every time you touch these creatures you should be taking str damage. I haven't done that to you. You already are suffering from Wis damage, which means in character you are not exactly making well reasoned discussions and your senses are dulled.

Well ice storms and ash storms do no damage, but it that swarm damages my strength two more times I may be joining it in the shadow realm. Which is why I plan to use that wand of Lesser Restoration on myself next round. I could use it and then hand it to Icabhod to use it on me again, depending on what happens. Sure would be nice to kill it dead before we go recover and lick out wounds.
Really? I wasn't aware that delivering touch attacks like a cute-to-undead would cause damage. I believe that HtH attacks on undead were allowable since it allows monks to fight undead. Plus a Cure spell has glowing positive energy around my hands and would protect me, but I will abide your ruling.

Just want to warn everyone that I will be out pretty much the whole work day tomorrow. I have court that will go from probably 9 am until five or so, so I'll get a post in early, then after work sometime. DMPC me as necessary...
