For example, the whole Mindflayer Dungeon I just summoned monsters and sent them after Mindflayers with my party far away, then rested, then summoned them and sent again, until the Mindflayers were deal (there was just no way I would beat them in hand-to-hand battle). In Beholder Cave I bombed those eye-guys with Fireballs from distance so they didn't see me, then rested, then bombed them again...
I hate resorting to cheese, but there is just no way I would make it through otherwise.
