hah man i just ran kill bargle tonight, and my group of a lvl 1 cleric lvl 1 sword sage/1psion and lvl 2 fighter tore him a new one. we went into his sanctuary ......i shortened the quest so we fought him right after the kobold cheif. he opened up with wall of fire and my SS/psion just anihalated him with a mental attack, he then summoned a water ele, and the cleric cast sanctuary on it to keep it away from us. bargle hit the cleric with a fire ball, nearly killing him. and my character ran in for an avenging strike that nearly was a critical. all and all......he wasnt so tough =)
