An especially cunning ogre-mage.

Useful Info

Erolcha is a notoriously dangerous unique ogre mage spawned with one of five sets of spells. Depending on which she gets, she may be able to easily one- or two-shot most mid-level characters, or send a player with low magic resistance to the Abyss.

Spellsets:

• A) Magic Dart (3d4), Paralyse, Haste, Lightning Bolt (3d14), Confuse, Teleport Self
• B) Venom Bolt (3d11), Iskenderun's Mystic Blast (3d12), Invisibility, Confuse, Slow, Teleport Self
• C) Petrify, Lehudib's Crystal Spear (3d23), Blink, Bolt of Fire (3d14), Bolt of Cold (3d14), Minor Healing
• D) Stone Arrow (3d12), Sting (1d8), Blink, Lightning Bolt (3d14), Banishment, Minor Healing
• E) Paralyse, Throw Flame (3d6), Invisibility, Teleport Other, Fireball (3d14)

Location

• The Dungeon:8-13
• The Orcish Mines

Tips & Tricks

• When you see her cast a spell, try to use that information to determine which spell set she has. If she casts Invisibility or Haste, she has neither Crystal Spear nor Banishment and is significantly less lethal. Until then, assume the worst and buff up your magic resistance.
• She has only modest HP and poor defenses. Hit her hard and she'll fall quickly, but be aware that she can have decent melee damage output if she's carrying a giant spiked club.
• Despite her description as an "especially cunning ogre-mage", she actually has considerably less HD than an actual ogre-mage, and a generally less-dangerous spell set, since she lacks Haste Other.
