Well, when I beat him I was using an archer, my henchman was Tomi. I really had very little trouble killing him. I started by nailing all the summoning creatures with arrows, they usually fell with one shot, then when they were gone I just began to hit Desther, he seemed to go down pretty quick.

Depending on what class you are and what henchman you have, it can be pretty rough. Your best bet is to ignore desther and his silly ritual and lure out the various undeads out of the room and take them out. Once you're through with those, rush in and kill the ritual zombies, and the rest is a cinch.
Denther is invulnerable as long as the ritual zombies are alive. However Denther seems to have a huge sum of hit points (maybe because the game does not want you to accidentally kill him) and he will surrender to you while he is still at the "barely injured" state.
Or maybe his is under some protection spells like stoneskin. Check your dialog box for feedback as of what is keeping you from damaging him.

I managed to wack him...it was weird though I would always do a whole junkload of damage to him and he wouldn't be damaged for awhile. That whole uninjured/ injured damage system isn't very accurate I guess especially for higher HP chars. Few lightning bolts and potion of bless helped me own him though. What is the green glowing circle around him? At first I thought it was some sort of weapon protect spell.

Sounds to me like he had stoneskin on. Stoneskin kinda acts like a damage barrier that you have to break through before you can do any real damage to the target. You'll be seeing a lot more of it next few chapters.
Finished that battle in about 30 seconds. Just kill those 5 guys like crazy and then start hacking desther. Shouldn´t be any problem

I was a mean sucker to this guy. I made a few called shots, giving him a total of -16 to hit to-hit modifier. Every few turns, I would redo it. I enjoyed toying with him, and killed him reletivly easily.
Hey, I know this is a rather old thread, but I'm hoping someone still reads it. I just fought and killed Desther, but in the battle my henchman died. Now I've moved to Chapter 2, but of course, no Tomi. He's not in the Chapter 2 area where the stone of recall takes you.
