Death yaks guarding lair entrance
Deciding to see how much damage I might do to them, I tried luring the into a corridor which I filled with flame clouds, but as you can see it hardly bothers them at all. If they'd been brought a bit lower in health, I'd have considered maybe trying to block the exit for a turn or two, but as it is I am quite sure that is suicidal.
Is the best solution here just to try to run away, and avoid them for the rest of the level? Maybe to return to take them down after doing lair, if I can manage to lure them all away from the entrance, or are there any ways to kill them with a reasonably high chance of success?
