-*Avoid him if you have low [[willpower]]. Petrify is his most dangerous weapon, as it makes Lee's Rapid Destruction phenomenally powerful against you. If he does manage to tag you with Petrify, immediately read a [[scroll of teleportation]]; you might end up someplace dangerous, but chances are nothing else you run into will be able to hurt your petrified body quite as badly as Jorgrun.
+*Jorgrun is an extreme threat for a variety of reasons:
-*As a melee character, [[Silence]] him. As a caster, a well placed [[curare]] [[dart]] can make the difference. A [[phial of floods]] will also disable his spellcasting entirely.
+**[[Iron Shot]] is a high damage spell for the areas Jorgrun is found in.
-*[[Quaff]]ing a [[potion of cancellation]] before you turn fully to stone is another option for negating his Petrify spell, though he may just cast it again a turn later.
+**[[Grasping Roots]] prevents you from moving, going upstairs, and it gives [[scrolls of blinking]] a chance to fail. This can be lethal if Jorgrun shows up when you're fighting other monsters. Being over [[deep water]] or [[lava]] prevents the roots from affecting you.
-**Followers of certain gods may be able to take care of the petrification in other ways. [[Elyvilon]] and [[Ru]] give worshipers the Purification and Draw Out Power abilities, respectively, while [[Zin]]'s Vitalisation grants complete protection from petrification.
+**[[Petrify]] prevents any action for up to 10 turns, sets your [[EV]] and [[SH]] to 0, and makes Lee's Rapid Deconstruction ignore AC.
-**In a pinch, [[Yara's Violent Unravelling]] or a [[wand of quicksilver]] can both remove petrification (though using them on yourself is quite painful).

-*[[Gargoyle]]s and players in [[Ice Form]] or [[Statue Form]] are innately vulnerable to LRD. [[Transmuter]]s should avoid using Ice or Statue Form against him, and gargoyles should consider avoiding the fight entirely. If you do choose to fight, be prepared to use a [[scroll of blinking]] and/or [[scroll of teleportation|teleportation]] if you take too much damage.

-*Users of the [[Simulacrum]] spell should mind the possibility of their own allies being detonated in 3x3, high-damage icy blasts with LRD. It’s no reason to not use them, as Jorgrun will hesitate to blow himself up if your simulacra reach him in melee, but it’s something to be careful of while generating your allies in the first place.
