Useful Info
Erica the Fiery-Tempered is a unique octopode caster of destructive and disabling magic. She wields a flaming scimitar, but prefers to fight from a distance while invisible. Also, she always spawns with a ring.
Location
- The Dungeon:8-11
- The Orcish Mines:1
- The Lair:1-2
Tips & Tricks
- Poison resistance, Repel Missiles, see invisible, and high willpower will counter most of her spells, but that's a lot to ask for. She's flimsy, so a strong offense that takes her out quickly may be the best defense.
- Her mediocre hit dice and lack of poison resistance make her susceptible to Mephitic Cloud.
- Erica is commonly encountered in the Lair. If you already have some skill in Long Blades, her flaming scimitar is a good choice for fighting the hydras you'll find there.
