An exalted servant of the orc god Beogh and a master of many foul rites, to whose aid Beogh will even send beings from the netherworld.

For a list of all orcs, see list of orcs.

Useful Info

Orc high priests are similar to orc priests, but are significantly more dangerous. Along with their smite attack, they can summon dangerous demons and heal themselves as well as their allies. They are often found in the Orcish Mines (but may appear earlier).

Pain	1d9	5	Priest flag

Smiting	7-17	LOS	Priest flag
Heal Other	2d5+3	LOS	Priest flag

Tips & Tricks

Most characters first exploring the Orcish Mines aren't prepared for dealing with several tier-3 demons along with a horde of heavily armed orcs, so try not to give orc high priests time to summon much. Don't be afraid to run if a fight suddenly gets overwhelmingly dangerous.

History

Prior to 0.28, orc high priests could see invisible.
