A servant of the ancient and cruel gods of the orcs, dressed in a long robe. It continually mumbles strange prayers. You should hope that they remain unheard.

Useful Info

Orc priests introduce smiting into the game at levels where smiting is scary. So long as an orc priest is visible, it is capable of instantly dealing 7-17 damage to you in a single turn. Even worse, they usually appear along with a pack of orcs, orc wizards, and orc warriors, and can appear as early as Dungeon:2.

Tips & Tricks

Orc priests can be neutralized by hiding from their line of sight (they will try to rush you if they can't smite you), making them confused/paralyzed, or trapping them in a throwing net. Just avoid fights where they get to cast against you for several turns while you have to chop a path through their allies.
