As far as I could tell (and remember, it's been about a year since I
touched the game) your fireballs do damage.  It's helpful to have them
at least at the 3rd power level.  Also picking up things (like the
boulders and rocks that they leave behind when they croak, or anything
can be used to throw at them.)  One of the best methods I found was to
cast 4 3rd power fireballs and then have each of my front two people
take a swipe at them, back up a step, wait for the creatures to come,
take two more swipes, back up a step, etc. etc.  This works really
well since it seems to take the creatures some time before then can
attack after they have moved.  Another fun thing to do though it won't
get you much experience it to lead them towards the pit with the
pressure plate, when they are over the pit step off the plate and
watch them drop.  Effective but rather boring.

Wishing I had an Amiga to play it over again,

Todd
