My four (14th level) characters do about 1000 pts of damage to a sand golem (already stole two objects) per round and it collapses. The next round, while it is collapsed, my characters only do 1/8th damage. The next round, the golems gem flashes, it gets up, and I'm back to doing 1000 pts of damage. The next round it collapses and I'm back to doing 1/8th damage. The next round, the gem flashes and the golem gets back up again...
I finally quit after all my magic and patience was used up (I did over 18000 pts of damage to this thing and it did not die).
The golem never attacks, it just takes damage, collapses, takes less damage, gets up and takes more damage.
The walkthroughs I've read all say this golem has 343HP and that ice spells do major damage, so 1000 HP damage should kill it (400+ pts of damage from Vivi's Blizzara spell alone), but the golem just isn't dying.
Any helpful suggestions (other than fleeing... I want the XP's)?
