*If she does get Death's Door off, do something productive while you wait for it to wear off (re-cast buffs, attack other creatures, etc.). If you don't have anything better to do, pillar-dancing will at least keep her from pelting you with more spells. [[Teleport]]ing away works well, as the time spent returning to her should un-summon her orcs and end her Death's Door, but won't give her too much time to heal.

*The threat level of her spectral orcs varies tremendously based on what gets summoned; a spectral [[orc warrior]] may not be too threatening, but a spectral [[orc warlord]] can be devastating. It may be a hassle, but examine her summons to know just how afraid you should be.

*Nergalle is actually one of the better orc allies you can acquire through Beogh. She has a decent direct damage spell, regularly surrounds enemies with powerful summoned allies, hastes your other allies, and can become invincible when near death, turning her from a soon-to-be casualty into an amazing tank. Give her the best armour you can spare and try not to let her die.

A shrewd and wizened orc who has devoted her life to chronicling the bloody history of her people. She claims to know the names and deeds of every last orc who lost their life in their great exodus into the Dungeon, and even if this is a lie, she nonetheless seems to be on a first-name basis with many of them.

More than any other orc still breathing, she knows the blood and sacrifice it took to make this place a refuge for her kind. She will not brook it being intruded upon by anyone - least of all you.

Useful Info
