Twid,

Ah, yes, I guessed correctly (spoiler coming).

You are on the 5th (and last) level of DE; and battling "Yux." This is a tough fight, no matter how you slice it (no pun intended); but can be made easier with a bit of prep work:

1.) Kill EVERYTHING in every room leading up to the room in which you will find Yux.
2.) Find and disarm all traps in front of the door to Yux's room.
3.) Search this forum (using the "search" link near the top of this page) and enter "Yux" (no quotes) as the search term to get all sorts of good strategies. (This is probably the most discussed battle of the game.) Find a strategy and list of tactics that you think will work well for you. Most strategies include using summons, area effect spells (e.g. fireball, web and grease) and buffering the party before talking to the little girl for the last time.
4.) Tune up your spell casters to memorize the spells to support your strategy.
5.) Rest. (You may have to go back a level to do this.)
6.) After all this prep, save just before the fight; since this fight will almost certainly take several tries.

What's a party,
without a song?
Bards ROCK!
Party On!!
