Of course, Wizard Eye operating is always an indispensable spell! Hide the party in some secluded area near the room where the monsters are congregated, then run out into the room just long enough to be seen (usually just a second or two--you'll be attacked, of course) and then run back to the area or nook you'd found earlier--a place where you can't be surrounded and the monsters have to come at you from the front. Usually what will happen is 5-10 monsters or so will actually follow you as you run back to your nook where you will then turn and dispatch them. If you are not yet strong enough to dispatch 5-10 monsters in a group at a time without losing a party member you aren't strong enough yet to tackle large groups of monsters and need to level up more before trying it again. In this way you can whittle down the very large groups rather quickly, actually. This is the way I do it, anyway...;) It's fun!
