I've tried the hit and run thing... I keep getting killed and running out of life and then forgetting that I have the healing spell... etc. I guess he scares me...

I have also tried magic bombs and missiles... nada ... doesn't even phase him... I tried invisible... he still clobbers me... I will try reflection... see if that works... he's got a big bad sword... so maybe if I stay farther away...
Thanks for the suggestions...
