You did close the door, but then the new group of minions opened it again.  Fortunately, even while panicked, I'm pretty sure you can take withdraw actions, which should keep you from being<em>too</em>screwed.<br/><br/>Also, if you get lucky, Ithi'ka's attack will connect and kill the vampire, thus retroactively negating her fear spell.<br/><br/><br/>While I'm rambling, would everyone be excessively bothered if I just gave the entire party a flat 5,500 xp for last week?  You guys did some pretty good character roleplaying going into the dungeon, and I figure a nice chunk should help you through this extremely difficult adventure.
