Sounds like a more powerful version of Hiddens.... at least to me...BTW
with the Flash spell you do need to target one guy in particular.(he takes
massive damage the others take some...)
let us know if this gets resolved...

Got these once before.  Took out half with chain lightning.  Had to go 
back down to kill the rest and get my stuff.

Yup, I've run into them as well, they are a bitch. They surround you so you
can't get a hit or spell off. They also do a great "suck in", where when
you get hit, you get stuck for a bit. I followed a portal down, and
surprise it opened into 8 of them. We had a mage with us, and chain
lightning does the job.
