Blatantly better than the King's Quest games. Now then, as soon as you see him (or know that he's just around the corner) throw up an all out party bless. That's for starters. Next, have you're fighter types drink any potions of bloodlust (makes them do extra damage) that you might have. If need be you can actually cast spells whilst talking to people as well! If you can try to cast an armouring spell (that first level stone spell) on each party member. Also from past experience I am aware that Scabban seems to be practically immune to Sun magic, however Melt has a rather nice effect. As far as the gagging and caughing goes there really isn't much that you can do about that wich is why I recommended the protective spells. Also stay between him and the edge of the pit because if he walks over it he'll tumble into the darkness below and evaporate into the water, never to be seen again. (Trust me on this one, I thought he'd gone through the gate and searched high and low for him, it was very frustrating).
