1) Stoneskin everyone. Key to success
2) Use summons to take the heat, animate dead, shadow conjuration, gate, anything at all.
3) One of the enemies (forget the name) will keep on summoning if you don't target him early. MUST to take him out.
4) Xvim Slayers should be your first set of targets.

Hope that helps.

Flamestrike, Suffocate, and Insect Plague work wonders if you can cast it right on top of the enemy with your tanks just outside the blast radius. Acid and Ice storm are effective spells too.

I agree with Vanion, the Xvim Slayers will hurt you more than the three half-dragons combined will. I had my archers pounding the Slayers, while one of my tanks (the one with more hp's) held back the half-dragons. The other tank held the My cleric managed to silence the mage (I think; she silenced someone) and then my mage mopped up with tons of area of effect spells. In short, go man-to-man with strengths, Mage vs. mage, Cleric vs. Spellcasters, Archers vs. Fighters and Tanks vs. fighters.

I would suggest sending one charactor you can spare and for sure target the guy on the right summoning. Maybe send a P.C. over to start this guy off and disrupt his spells, but finish him with one of your own conjourations, *possibly an apocaliptic bonegaurd duo.

Have you played all the Black Isle games, like BG and PlaneScape Torment??
I have not played NeverWinter Nights but I bet its cool.
Also did you know that you can import your charactors into a IceWind Dale 2, Heart Of Fury mode.. This allows you to replay the game but with an immensly harder difficulty level. Monster are tougher and so is the magic Item. Did you already know about heart of fury?? Hope it helped, have fun

You might want to ask a few people on the forum about Neverwinter Nights. A lot have pretty interesting and informative opinions and it seems (since I believe them) that NwN isn't all that, so you might want to see what others think before taking the dive.
