> Hello: Again thank you for the help. Before posting that last post I did try going South. After their first fight with the first special guard group I didn't think they would be ready for going on in that direction. That is why I decided to retrain the spell caster who knew all of the spells to be an Assassin. In that fight part of it was without one if not two of my fighters. Even when you cast awake in a battle the fighter still can't fight because they are in the back. The awake spell should also put them back in the front. OH even with the Rogue having high stats he still sometimes makes mistakes with the treasure chests. Again thank you for the help.

Hmm you have two characters who know wizard's spells, right? Have both of them cast the group AC spell at the beginning of the battle. That should help a lot with the special guards, since they can only attack physically (no spells or elemental breath). You might want to case the group AC spell once more ont he second round, too.
