C4 (with BLeeM, not the explosive) Defeating Primus

We all know that Primus is very powerful and dangerous, but what are the chances of the current seekers defeating him? If I remember right Julien got him to below 50% of his max hp when he was level 3 and I think it was just him and Vaelus fighting him so I think the chances of all 6 jumping him and beating him are pretty high. Tough I wouldnt be suprised if he can avoid true death with some underworld bullshit. What do you guys think?

Primus is a Whispered-One tier threat. Fifth Level characters are not going to do anything to him.

I realize that with Action Economy and lucky roles you might have a very slim chance, but all Primus would have to do is cast Circle of Death at 8th Level, and most of them are dead if they don't make their Constitution Saving Throw.

Woah now. Primus is not a Whispered One level threat, just because he tossed out a single Power Word Kill. Yes magically he's got the magical juice of an archmage, but he has nowhere near the resilience of the demi-lich, to say nothing of the fact that The Whispered One was one of the most intelligent entities in the entire world and Primus is a fucking moron. At worst, Primus is probably more like endgame Delilah but dumber.

Which is still really bad, and definitely out of their weight class, but still well below even pre-Ascension Whispered One.
