Tactics
--------------------
During Combat: Nurah has little in the way of fighting prowess and prefers to hang back in combat to provide support in the form of bardic performances. She casts cat’s grace on herself on the first round of combat, and then harries foes with grease or suggestion, switching to healing spells if her allies are wounded.
Morale: Nurah retreats from combat once she drops below 30 hit points—if she still has allies she casts healing spells on herself and continues to support them with bardic performances, but if a battle looks lost, Nurah tries to escape. She does so by first casting invisibility and then using her scroll of dimension door to get as far away as possible.

--------------------
Nurah Dendiwhar originally came to the Worldwound at the tender age of 20, the youngest member of Chelaxian Lord Axilar Trezbot’s entourage from Isger. Her abusive master’s obsession with achieving greater fame in the Third Mendevian Crusade pulled her into battle alongside him, forcing her to serve as both a scribe for his exploits and a tactician directing his troops as they sought to retake Citadel Drezen. When a group of tiefling assassins and babaus led by a possessed crusader tore apart Lord Axilar’s legion they unexpectedly freed her from servitude and slew her master and fellow slaves before her very eyes. Using her magic to escape, a newly freed Nurah pledged herself to the crusades and has been an ally ever since. She has since become renowned as a Worldwound historian and is a trusted advisor of Queen Galfrey herself.

Nurah is an expert on the early Mendevian Crusades and the lore of ancient Sarkoris. She is an excellent traveling companion—generous and complimentary without being a sycophant. She is a tenacious survivor much like the heroes—blessed with luck and skill, while equally dedicated to stopping the demon incursion.
