First off, considering the group they had present and the
low number of zombies Zorszaul had with him, Challen is right...
He should have just boneshattered and then cranialed away.
The closest I've come to killing him was in a rager party that
had two mace specs, an assassin and a scout thief. I think
someone posted that log. Unfortunately, I pulled Zors away one
too many times and he realized it was a fight he could actually
lose and just worded on us. I pulled him because I didn't think
I could tank him and his zombies for the time it'd take to kill
him, but I should have gone for it. I didn't expect Zorszaul to
give up and word so quickly though... We had the equation and he'd
been talking trash.
The major problem with Zorszaul is he doesn't seem to make any
of those stupid mistakes everyone else I know does once in a while.
Dhaevor posted a log where Zors could have easily died, had Dhaevor
not mixed up the swords he was wielding several times. Then there
was another one where Dhaevor manages to take a piss at just the wrong
time. (hee hee.)
The time I dented a bunch of his armor I was summoned into a locked room.
It was a hopeless situation, so denting seemed better than nothing. Had I
thought to entwine him first, I could have destroyed his mask, which could
have meant something. I didn't, he fled at gushing, vamped up on some little
mobs, took off his good armor and came back and finished me. Any non-rager
would have to worry about him casting spells though... One vamp touch would
heal him more than any single person can do in two rounds of combat. I just
had to endure chromatic fire.
As several people correctly theorized, I didn't see a spec of my armor after
the denting incident.
I will point out that air elemental he often has is unaffected by physical attacks,
so make sure you've got something else on hand. He can have it rescue him and flee
and you're left beating away like a moron otherwise.
