Xignal and Knarfling,
Thank you both for replying!
I turned my game on first thing this morning and found myself in the exact position to "lure" the Rapax to his death.
It is a wonder what tiredness can do to inhibit thinking! Not to mention what a blessing the stupidity of setting a portal nearby turned out to be LOL.
Now to find my way back out so I can take care of some other business!
Thank goodness there are post reply buttons at the top and thank you Knarfling for leaving spoiler space! I haven't read it yet hee hee! I just came to tell y'all I had figured it out.
