Flight has its uses. Since acquiring the Airy Melody scroll (thanks to a little tip from my friend Belkar), I have been able to scout wide swatches of land in relative safety. I have used the spell to assist a guildmate (Zaphyl) with finding Earthly Visages in the Anidaen Forest and to take shortcuts from the Trinst Stones to the Broken Keg Inn.
On one such trip to the Talrim Hills, we skipped over trolls, Funnel Weavers, and Hill Giants to discover Bisotaurs. These tough creatures drop useful gear and tomes for bards, paladins, etc. I even saw a bisotaur walking on air using the same spell I was! After all, the bisotaurs are also primary 30+ bards. But, there is one that stands out from the the rest: the Bisotaurian Lord.
Bristling with armor and about 10 levels higher than the rest, the Bisotaurian Lord has a nasty hit. Luckily, my secondary paladin class allows me to cast healing spells, while my primary Bard class provides buffs to boost stats, attacks, defenses, and regeneration.
During my first encounter with the Lord, I was traveling with an experienced lvl 33 adventurer named TekThief. Tek would tank while I'd heal, hit, and cast. When his hp would fall below half, I would Rescue him and tank. Furthermore, casting Disturbed Thoughts also helped wear the Lord down and eventually he fell.
The experience acquired was massive. These are also a few notes and observations I hope you find helpful: It doesn't hurt to have someone who could shackle or bind so you are able to step back and heal or do ranged while you regenerate. Once you help bring down some of the resists, casting high damage spells like Planetary Strike would hit more often. I must also note that the Bisotaurian Lord (as well as many Bisotaurs) have really good resistance. They are also bards, so they have many buffs on them. I have also used skills like Shield Bash, Sorrow Song, and Awe on the Bisotaur Lord with relative success.
The Bisotaur Lord drops fabulous armor. Most notable is his highly coveted boots.
