Okay guys.  I've cleared this with the GM.  At the beginning of the day I cast a couple of spells that have long durations to help us.  I cast 'Status' on Talyrand, Callistara, and Guinevere (sorry, only one per 3 levels).  I also cast 'Heroes Feast' so everyone is now immune to poison and fear and has a +1 on attack rolls and will saves and 8 temporary hit points for 12 hours.<br/>
