Nope, she died because I changed my original tactic. My original tactic was to skate in with a charge (55'/round and Psionic Charge) make a strike and quicken a dimension door back behind the building. That would have worked for 2 or 3 rounds.

You didn't expect her to fight us alone, didya? ;)

I still say you're the key to stopping enemy casters. If Xalandra had a kick ass bow like that, the spellcaster of the enemy group wouldn't even get a spell off. Readied action - "shoot" him/her/it if he/she/it casts a spell. Let's see 'em make a 40 to 60 concentration check. Now, granted against Hrelga, that wouldn't have worked because of her Bludgeoning DR. Problem right now with Xalandra would be - I don't have any archery feats, and I haven't taken Hover yet.
