Oh he came back alright. Made sure to try to stick his steel through my sleeves. And to reward him for such diligence, I used two Harm spells on his scaly self and smacked him with some spherical savagery. Yes, those maces are a wonder and a joy to possess, people. If you ever have a need to lay a beatdown, have a mace ready. I am pretty sure someone was there with me when I finally took him out though. The cleric I am using right now I am sure can take him on solo now, if I use the same tactic I used on Elan: remove his assistants, back off, regroup, strip him of protections and THEN use Harm. I am almost tempted to create a cleric of Mask (cleric/thief blend) just so I can have magic spells to strip more opponents of spells and THEN hit them with Harm. Yes, I know I can always just go to Level Twelve and purchase Rings of Harm, but first I'd have to make it all the way to Level Twelve!!!
