Help needed: How to kill the Priest

[GordonOverkill]

I just produced myself a very nasty problem... Saleya, a very promising lvl 18 hurthling merchant, dropped all her equipment before she changed her allignment with the dwarftown altar and... well... the priest took the best pieces including blessed 7lboots, ankh, ring of invisibility and lots of other great stuff... guess I will have to kill the priest, but I don't want to fight every dwarf in town afterwards. I never fought this guy before, so I'd be very glad if somebody could tell me how strong he is and how I can attack him without anoying all other citizens.

Rule #1 is never to kill him yourself, unless you're okay with turning Dwarftown hostile.

He fires energy bolts which do 40-50 damage each and can heal himself. Lure him outside DT and have a pet kill him, make him walk on alarm traps until something else does the job, or bring him to critically injured, then finish him off with an acid trap.

Code-dived information says he has approximately 120 hp and two attacks hitting for 2d4+12 damage.

You examine Ruun, the trollish priest. Diagnosis: Level 1, DV: 15, PV: 5, Hits: 102, Attacks: 2, Damage: 14-20. Speed: 100.

Thanks, dudes! Luckily it turned out that most of the stuff was taken not by the priest but by a guard who was in the temple. I've got the most important items back, so I guess the priest is allowed to stay alive ;-)

You should kill him once, this NPC is special in some way

In case you run into this problem again, the easiest solution is locking him away on the level below dwarftown.

Edit: sorry, I didn't read right. If he picks up your items you need to kill him of course. Locking away is when you converted the altar.

50 points of damage per bold sounds dangerous because Saleya has only got 213 maximum HP at the moment. Maybe I will kill him later because I'd like to get my everburning torch back.

[grobblewobble]

With 213 hitpoints you don't need to worry. He never dealt that much damage to my pc's, at least.

[GordonOverkill]

Kay, thanks! Then I think that I am going to fight him the next time Saleya gets back to dwarftown... need to go there anyway because she's doomed from pool-drinking.
Just locking him away will not be enough because I rather want my stolen equipment back ;-)

[GordonOverkill]

Hmmm, he doesn't really want to leave his temple... maybe I should provoce him somehow. Saleya got Ventriloquism from a potion of education but I actually never used that skill before. Does it work without anoying the whole town?
