I killed the duegar off outside, opened the passage and attacked nere before he and the gnomes even left the tunnel to cutscene kill her off, but she disappeared when fighting started. Am I missing something or is it a very hard scripted thing?
it is possible to save her by going into a fight but yes she is also fated to die... even if you save her she just disappears by script
at this point we don't know if that is just another example of untested scripts or Larian doesn't want her alive for some quest ... the point that she disappears or burns in fire may be to stop us talking to her
Luke Skywalker: I don't, I don't believe it. Yoda: That is why you failed.
