You go over to Zorszaul and try to dispel him and energy drain him and disrupt him... Really, have fun.
Alright, maybe i'm in the dark here, but I have a lot of curious questions. I don't know much about lichs but here goes:
Does Zors have something that protects against Disruption? obviously he must.
Can a lich's senses be affected or do they lack organs?
i.e. can they be blinded (dirted) and most importantly can they be deafened?
if so, no more spells by Zors?
if dirted, order all rescue so he can't retarget?
obviously we know that lashing is completely uselss against Zors so count that out.
can zors be weakened by spells or skills enough that he can no longer wield weapons?
i.e. weaken, poison, plague, boneshatter, kotegaeshi etc.
if so, obviously no more parry.
Can Zorszaul be dispelled? pivotal question, if he can, he can be killed guaranteed (no wraithform, no bash protection=death)
if not, damn.
I saw a curse in there but it didn't take, can he be cursed?
If he can, he will try and teleport. Will need healer to gate immediately to find location. It's obviously gonna take a 5+ man party to take him out.
Does wrath or dispel evil do anything to him?
I don't know if he has some funky stuff to protect against this.
I saw no forgets in there, is he suceptable to the forget spell? since I didn't see any, I'm assuming it doesn't work.
Power word kill? Immune?
The mongoose was obviously the best tank in there, good job mongoose for hanging in there. All of you did well except for lashing a billion times and never hitting once. Maybe cast energy drain to reduce mana so Zors can't cast. I know this might take a lot of ed's but worth a shot?
failing all of the above;
Other than at least 2+ necros/lichs with zombies present, I don't think Zors can be beaten when he is prepared.
The only other chance might be a good party.
i.e. 2-3 paladins and 2-3 healers.
6+ turn undeads would do in the zombies in one or 2 rounds i'm sure.(maybe 2 a piece)
Toss in a holy word to soup up the party and some wraths to curse Zors might help.
Other than that, all you will be able to do if nothing else works on him is heal the person fighting him every round. I mean his amulet and vampiric touches will do max 300-400 points of damage(much less with sancs and the such) every other round and the amulet is not a guaranteed thing so the rest of the party should be able to keep the fighter pretty healthy. (may have to resanc tanks if dispelled i'm sure).
I mean Zors is damn tough, but take away his mobs and he becomes "almost" human.
Ah, what do I know, maybe I'm on crack and all the stuff I've mentioned has already been tried. Oh well, I'm in the dark here so if anyone can enlighten me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I do not mean any disrespect to those who have had the balls to mess with Zors already. I just had to question the obvious.
So please keep flames to a minimum :).
Until then, Zors, You DA MAN!!!
