[@evang3802]

Spiff I'm shocked! Umbra is incredibly easy to kill! If you perform a max range pickpocket she will inevitably catch you attempting to steal from her what this does is cause her to walk towards you without triggering combat. Since you are max range you have enough time to run away from her where she will continue to walk towards you until she talks to you allowing you to walk her through all the traps until she dies.

[@greenhornadventure]

I believe it is also possible to lead her to town and have the guards and any unfortunate townspeople kill her.
