Now, I realize that just about everyone when they come up with some grand way to do something, they say it's the best, but I guess I'll have to say it too. I do honestly believe it is at least ONE of the best ways to beat him.
I discovered it when my mom (who's not as good at the game as I) needed help beating the evil Red Dragon because she had tried again and again without success. Her biggest problem was that her characters weren't a extremely high level (I remember doing it once with say level 14 and 15 characters). So, since good old Firkraag just tells you to come back, that means he retains that blue ring around him. First, put all the spells you want on yourself (haste, stength, etc.), then position yourself as you wish around him, and take your most pathetic (though none are particularly "pathetic" in this game) character and put them right up in front of the dragon. You will proceed to "talk it to death." Start attacking with your good plus weapons and have your magic user throw some magic missles and dispel magics at it. It takes a while for Firkraag to turn from his blue ring to his red ring and start attacking you. Well, seize the opportunity of the moment and talk to him with that one "pathetic" character. He'll groan about you coming back to pester him and then you kindly say, "Oh, sorry to have bothered you." Guess what, he's still blue. Repeatedly talk to him again and again (every two or three seconds or so) while your other characters proceed to dice him to pieces. It may be really boring, but if you have low level characters or don't want to even sustain a scratch, it's the way to go!
