SPOILERS COMING:
I'm on the final level of the Immortal, and I'm having physical problems.
Specifically, I've got this terrible, splitting, headache, and then my head
explodes. This headache was caused by my beloved (former) master Mordamir.
Ah, Mordamir. I risk my life fighting goblins, trolls, a giant spider, a
Norlac water beast, and other unspeakably foul creatures, and I avoid dozens
of nefarius traps to save him, and what do I get for gratitude? A couple of
electricity bolts and a headache.
I've tried everything I can think of to avoid this, but so far nothing has
saved my poor little head. What I've tried: using my Sonic Protection scroll
right before he causes the explosion. Using it right after I summon him. Using
the Magnetic Hands scroll right before I fall into the pit, in hopes that I
won't lose my dagger, so I can kill him somehow by throwing it. Using the same
scroll right before the dragon comes to try to retrive my dagger.
Of course, I tried various other combinations of using my spells, all to no
avail. The exploding head animation is cool the first couple of times, but
after the 5th or so, you want to do something that will make the programmer's
head explode the same way (at least I do). The only other possibility I can
think of is to avoid falling through the pit into the dragon's lair, and thus,
avoid losing your dagger so you will have it to skewer Moramir. I havn't had
much success in trying to pull myself up from the pit. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance for any help (but please don't send me a complete solution
for the 8th level, just for this problem).

RE: Last level of Immortal...
This one had me messed up for a while, too...Try this...Just as he starts to
cast the spell, use your sonic protection spell...The timing is pretty exact,
but it can be done...<for a nice reward, too>...save you Magnetic Hands for a
leater time, you'll know when...<grin>...Have fun...
