Despite her large appearance, '''Gerringothe''' is very fast-moving thanks to her use of [[Rogue|Fast Hands]] which allows her to use [[Dash]] as a bonus action. She will use her mobility to get around, even climbing up to the ruined roof to put distance from the party and a vantage point for her Jealous Avarice spell. Also, her large amount of [[Hit Points]] makes it difficult to beat her down quickly, even more so with the support her Visages give in attacking or hindering the party.

The first step is to either put away the party's gold at camp or a secure spot nearby, since her Jealous Avarice will otherwise deal insane amounts of damage and possibly wipe out the party, if carrying a few thousand gold. | ||
Instead of focusing on the toll master, it is better to target the Grim Visages spread throughout the building. For each one killed, she will lose 100 of her [[Hit Points]] and lose more of her powerful abilities. The piece of coin armour destroyed follows a fixed sequence each time, irrespective of which visage is killed: | Instead of focusing on the toll master, it is better to target the Grim Visages spread throughout the building.

Picking up the piles of [[Gold]] spread around the building before battle will limit the effective area of [[Combustible Coins]] and deny her opportunities to create summons. Using a high level {{SmallIcon|Turn Undead Icon.png}} [[Turn Undead]] when the Visages are grouped up will likely destroy a few considering their low HP. Once all of the visages are destroyed, the pitiful true form of Gerringothe can be easily finished off. | Picking up the piles of [[Gold]] spread around the building before battle will limit the effective area of [[Combustible Coins]] and deny her opportunities to create summons.
