How do you kill Monoliths??

Anything can be taken down with Disintegrate. It has a ridiculously low fatigue cost (10 for a D2 mage, 5 for a D3 mage!), so a couple death mages can cast it over and over.

I had 4 Abominations that were GoR'd with antimagic amulets, for a total MR of something like 25, all taken out by disintegrate during a single siege of an Ermor castle with 5 Dusk Elders, a Wraith Lord, and a D6 pretender inside. They just slammed Disintegrate into the Abominations over and over, and each one sucumbed eventually. Fail one MR check and that's it.

Another nice anti-SC spell is Petrify, which paralyzes if the MR is made (destroys if it is not).

Also, it doesn't move. My guess is that you are attacking it in its fort. Try just letting it sit there, conquering the rest of the enemy's territory, and then driving their dominion down to zero. This is the easiest way to take out the big, immobile Pretenders.

This is how I did it in the end, not having access to the relevant spells (is there a spell to give a whole squad AP weapons?). It wasn't easy though - he was on a coast and I couldn't take the sea province, so it took about 10 turns to preach him away.

Thanks all.

Now, a new question. One of my commanders was assassinated. The assassin cast "Decay", my guy killed the assassin, then he dropped dead. I've looked through the spell lists and I can't find "Decay" anywhere - what is it?

Try Thaumaturgy 1, D1.

I believe that if it connects it does 1 Hp damage per round until the target dies. I think regeneration is one of the few ways not to die.
