This thread is meant to be for advice for players on how to think and survive in difficult situations, not for advice for DMs or debating DM actions.
Please stay on-topic.
My basic advice is this: Communicate with your party. Do so thoroughly. For one thing, I as a DM like to see people roleplaying on quests, and for another thing, if no one in the party has a plan or strategy, nobody knows what to do if things get crazy. Discuss ways to destroy the enemy, a plan of attack for tough battles, and so forth. Communication is awesome.
I've seen plenty of parties who mechanically could very easily win a battle lose because none of them ever bothered to pause and reflect, and talk to their party members about what they should do. Pure, unthinking brute strength does not always work.
