I've killed Morcorack (I *think* that's his name [img]smile.gif[/img] ) many times. It's actually very easy if you get him in the right spot, although it can be very time-consuming. I run around the cavern once counter-clockwise so that he's along the edge of the cave. Then I hide in the niche in the doorway, and side-step out to fire away at him with bows, spells, and wands.
It may take forever, but it can be done. And it's the only possible way that I know of to get back to Emerald Island after you've left -- by getting a Lloyd's Beacon scroll from his corpse and setting a beacon.
'Course, you then have to find another one so you can return, but that exercise is left up to you.
I don't remember the details of that cave, but I do covet that armor... especially if it's Of The Phoenix...
