Her ruthlessness on ihe battlefield warrants her status as General of the Great Anny of the Ghouls. Her army is sometimes also called the Worm-eaten in honor of their patron, Nerull. 'l'he Lady of Worms is not a blood-and-guts general. She retreats if things go against her, and she gladly parleys with the adventurers if she captures them. TfMurliss suffers more than fiO c::isualties, she i_nforms Duresain by speaking tu an Eye of the King and asks for reinforcements. If I.he PCs seek io parley with her, she receives them in her quarters-a tent of black spider-silk enchanted to prevent noise passing from the inside to the outside (worth 2,000 gp). The Lady of Worms is always accompa-nied by an Eye of the King, which observes the army's progress. IfMurliss is slain, Belanru· takes her place as General. 1f both ru·e slain, the army's morale drops to 14.
