THE FINAL BATTLE
The Luremaster and several Spectral Heroes, of varying classes and abilities, will now attack you. The chief danger here is that a Cleric a little to my right and north will try to hit the party with a Dispel Magic, rendering the party vulnerable without their buffs and against superior numbers. So I position myself where he'll be, and go all out for him. Cassandra begins right away with Static Discharge. After that, it's a matter of making the utmost of the duration of my Haste spell by taking out the rest of the Spectral Heroes one by one. If things go well, the Luremaster will be quickly left by himself without any support.
The Luremaster can cast Bard spells, and can teleport like crazy around the large room. The key is to get on him as soon as possible, and stay on top of him whenever you can. My two fastest characters, Genevieve (Boots of Speed) and Cassandra (Boots of the Fox) always try to run up to him and hit him strength enhanced melee attacks. The rest of the party stays on top of him with persistent missile fire. It takes a while, and sometimes having to look around for him, but I eventually manage to get him. He then congratulates me and fades away. The throne will now have a Tarnished Ring that I can use to teleport back to Lonelywood.
