Talk:Naughty Sorceress (2)

From A KoL Wiki

As for the picture/description referencing a beholder from DnD, I don't really see it. Looks/sounds more like something out of a Lovecraft story (Yog-Sothoth, anyone?). Did beholders even have tentacles? I thought they were eyestalks, and the description doesn't even mention eyes. --cor nocae 15:31, 6 September 2006 (CDT)

  • Agreed - D&D Beholders have one central eye, one mouth, and a bunch of eye stalks (usually 10) - no tentacles. Perhaps the repeated usage of the word "behold" in the encounter text is what caused this assumption. --Quietust 15:33, 6 September 2006 (CDT)
    • I've always thought Gibbering Mouther when I saw this, myself. But only vaguely, since those don't have tentacles either. --Idran 07:02, 9 November 2006 (CST)
  • It's not Yog-Sothoth, it's Shub-Niggurath. Yog-Sothoth is described as a conglomeration of glowing bubbles. Shub-Niggurath was described by Lovecraft as an evil cloud-like being, like the second form. However: the third part of the NS fight referes to a dreaded elder god from outside of time and space, Yog-Sothoth. --Yuumi 16:06, 6 September 2006 (CDT)
  • One other slight possibility to this appearance (though I think the Shub-Niggurath point holds up better) is the Umgah from the Star Control games, albeit a meaner, nastier looking version. Or perhaps this could have been used simply as an initial reference. --Sparksol 06:14, 9 November 2006 (CST)
  • I think when the Naughty Sorceress wraps herself up, bulges and gets larger it makes her stronger, not just remove negative effects. I can't hit her anymore after she does that and I could fine before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thagorn (talkcontribs) on 10:53, 11 September 2008
  • I ran through the fight and wasn't able to "back -> see what the opening text was", but it seems that the "Yo, she-bitch!" was removed at some point. Can someone else confirm?--AstronautGuy (talk) 01:49, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Loss message

According to the main page, the loss message is sometimes absent when she gains initiative and her first move is to beat you up. Does anybody know when specifically this happens? Her second form got the jump on and killed me without this happening. --DanielH 05:34, 4 November 2011 (CET)

Did they update the text again?

I just noticed that the line "You feel vaguely like a japanese schoolgirl" is completely absent from the game, but it is still visible on the wiki. Is this somthing KOL mafia does or did they update the boss text at some point?--Tombot (talk) 00:12, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
