Play it out in your mind. Say they rush the council. How many fort guys would you expect to die? vs. how many Imperials? Don't just look at the classes, consider the players.
I expect to die one of the Fortress but only if Fort acts in totaly stupid way. And two imperials.

Each side has some vulnerable folks. Mainly Phewt and Kasir, and maybe Traphe. Purely by numbers its 6 vs. 4, with one of the 4 being a lich, plus the council. And 2 of the 6 were healers. Healers are great, but they don't bring any offense to the table.
I'm not sure why you consider Traphe at all, he is good only for free anthem may be a bit of healing but very minor(which could be ignored) healing given that imperials used some preps, I don't think anyone could harm him except may be Kasir. Though Kasir should not go under council, since he is not useful there at all. He should have stayed one room down the throne room and wait till Mirto and Phewt flees to finish them.

With two paladins they *might* have been able to "out-summon" Ahtieli sitting in a black circle. Maybe. The guy who gets summoned to the council, though, is a lot more likely to die.
It would be a mistake.

That sort of depends on Traphe being taken out of the picture, though, since otherwise he can just spam heal the others up. Based on the levels, I'm guessing only Kasir could hit Traphe. How likely is it for the thief to take out Traphe while he's sitting at the council? One distortion and it's not happening.
I'm not sure why do you think Traphe healing song would be any useful there. Because it would not at all.

I guess they could have had Kasir and the healers stand outside, and just have Humbert there to attack Mirto if they managed to summon him. Then everybody else comes back in and piles on. That would at least prevent the defenders from summoning Adelin/Ailinilia/Kasir.
No, really, do you know powers of black sect?

Ahtieli may also have hasted the Council (and her army if there was one), which makes matters even nastier. Council would also be juiced with bard songs.
Of course shield spec paladin gonna have a lot of troubles tanking them with two healers and another paladin healing him =)
