A lot of responses say the party should have been better prepared and/or more generalised. As a player in this encounter know that the party was marooned and under a time sensitive mission. So sleeping was not really an option nor purchasing specific items. More than anything that effected this encounter was the movement speed making the only option ranged (and we all know how awesome ranged attacks in the water). If we'd have obscured the area in anyway she could have waited it out under water whilst fast healing. I think this specific encounter would have been fine with more specialists rather than less as it would have been much easier if we'd had a couple of blasters or optimised Druids wild shaping.
Oh and Richard we didn't surrender we made a deal not to slaughter her real targets lol.
All in all however it turned a boring combat into a fun RP encounter.
As an addendum I find the whole CR system as a player and GM only a rough guide anyway as it IMHO gets it wrong far more than it gets it right.
