Except when you Wind Ride him you just use Incinerate or Lightning on him. Or even just guy with a Herald Lance.

You can also use a horde (30+) of eagle warriors with a fire-9 blessing. I think his Saurolich died within a single turn after the hold order wore off.

Plus, if I was sending a vampire queen undead hunting I would pick different equipment than normal. Take one with default Ulm for example. Fire 2, water 2, air 2, death 3. Since it's C'Tis there will be lots of skeletons on the battlefield likely, so don't bother with Soul Vortex for reinvigoration. For items, take a firebrand, lead shield, black steel helmet, elemental armour, messenger boots, reinvigoration belt, and either an antimagic amulet or another whatever else you feel like. Have her cast quickness, mistform, fire shield, phoenix pyre if available, attack rear. There won't be too much chance of the saurolich surviving that by himself.

Of course, this vampire queen is also vulnerable to wind ride, so you might want to swap the lead shield, fire magic, and air magic, for earth 4 and a chacoal shield. Change the script to quickness, earthpower, iron will, invulnerability, attack rear.

Etherealness is one of the 3 ways I know to get this much desired WR-immunity.

How fast can you get that pretender up and running Argitoth? Sounds like you made a strategy based on that configuration?

Another worst moment just popped in. A Virtue pretender just sent a complete Ermorian regiment packing but got hit in the head by three slingstones. First knocked one eye, the second feebleminded her and the Last knocked out the other eye. She was at the time running a windshield, mistform and lucky. Wonder what the odds were?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">What undead? Wind rided commanders are the attackers, defenders get the first move. A lightning bolt can hit him in turn 1. Not to mention what a wither bones would do to him. Your script has no raise skeletons either.
