ElfBane,
It's been a long while for me, too. Yes, tough battle. I took out Big I and all others (except the idol and its constant stream of summons); but lost my entire party except my Thief/Illusionist and Bard. Since the Bard had no Fighters left to sing to, she whipped out her +3 (or was it +4?) cross bow (that I otherwise never let her use) and, IIRC, was able to do some damage. Also IIRC, the Thief/Illusionist tried many things that did NOT work, but finally was able to do SOMETHING that took a few HP off the idol (forget whether it was with the short bow, melee or magic) before she died.
The Bard finally prevailed (IIRC, with the crossbow). After this bittersweet victory, I reloaded from an earlier point in HoW so that I could take the party to TotLM (an opportunity that I had inadvertantly missed).
After a long hiatus from this game, I intend to soon finish TotLM, and soon thereafter, this same party will revisit Big I. Heh, heh, heh. EVERYONE has leveled at least once or twice in TotLM; and they've picked up quite a few neat items. They will be much better prepared this time around...

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