Natasha

[Sargon]

Hi

I guess most noticed this new(?) exile called Natasha in town square. The funny thing is that she seems to be able to teleport around a bit. I didn't really get much information about her so far, although I've paid attention in town square. :)

Some speculate that it's bug (ooc, gasp!), but I doubt that. I think DT would fix such a bug pretty fast as it seems to open lots of holes. (hee, I'd like to be able to teleport in the healer test!) But maybe it's still just a bug which only occurs at or near town square and therefore is not that bad. *shrugs*

But couldn't it be some kind of hint for something? Hee, maybe the mirror-quest! :) Or a messenger of something which happens in the future. Some things I know from observing her/listening to rumours:

-she doesn't talk (apart from the smiley)
-she often bumps into exiles at town square to check their health
-when a hurt exile arrives at town square she usually helps healing him/her
-other healers rescued her from the rat towers
-rumour say that she killed a greater wraith
-she's female, healer, and Sylvan
-sometimes runs into a direction and suddenly disappears (she seems to be in another snell or something then, ie /info natasha doesn't show what she's wearing)
-seems to switch between phases of running/disappearing and just bumping exiles to heal them

Any other ideas?

It was pointed out in the NG that bumping the NPC in front of the Alchemy hut could explain the "Teleportation."

[Sargon]

Aww.. there goes my hope... Oh well.. :)

[Farhope]

I heard the same rumors from Tater.

But I have never noticed anything special. I have rescued her, for me she was (she is?) a nice and shy new exile... I have share with her several times (I try to share a new exile regularly when "our" new exile of the zodiac is not out the library).

A few data points/clarifications:

* It was a GD (Greater Death) she solo'd, not a GW (Greater Wraith)
* The only thing she ever says is "=)"
* Alchemy hut NPC couldn't explain it. She reappears along the same trajectory. Also, you can't get very far from the Alchemy hut in the time it takes.

/action 's eyes look brighter again!

Oh! So there's still hope it's some kind of plot! Ok, it was only a GD, hehe. (that's this skull thingy who weakes itself over time, right? I always mix up these things :) Not sure what you (and Lilly) mean with 'trajectory'. When she teleports away, she's definitely not in the same snell anymore, as "/info natasha" reveals. I guess I don't understand the word 'trajectory'.

Hm.. maybe it's a kid? (I mean ic! :) I mean like Magic Touch for example. (she doesn't want to leave town/fields and only follows you if you hold her hand :)

By trajectory, I mean if she starts from the W border of town center and runs E, she disappears and reappears somewhere along the line she was running (directly E of where she poofed).

A greater death is not the thing that has negative troilus. It's invisible, really hard to hit, has oodles of health, and it's probably one of the toughest things people encounter in DC.

Lex

[Sargon]

I see, Lex. So what is the name of this negative-troilus guy? (Bah, I know nothing it seems! :)

And am I the only one who (foolishly?) thinks it might have something to do with a plot?

Sargon

[Lex]

I can't remember the nsame of the other thing, but it wears a dark cloak and has a bad attitude.

I have no idea about Natasha, but she certainly seems to be aware that she is unusual.

I guess it's possible to communicate with her even though she only says one thing. Like when fallens toggle for yes and do nothing for no, maybe asking her the right questions and either getting a response or not, may get you some answers.

Lex

[Althus]

Wow. Seems to be a lot of confusion about monsters.

Greater Death: Big skull thing with negative troilus. One-hits most people, but I have a theory that undine costumes make you invincible against them.

Greater Wraith: Monster in 4th circle fighter test, wears blue cloak. You need about 200 Atkus to hit them, and about 250 Detha to brick them.

Ghastly Presence: Invisible, mainly killed by luck hits. Has a whole mess of histia, darkus, and Detha, but not too much regeneration, health or balance.

[Lex]

ahh, ghastly presence, that's what I was thinking of.

but... the thing with negative troilus that I saw WAS a hooded figure, not a big skull.

unless I was looking at the wrong thing?

[Althus]

Hmm... ah, yes. You saw a Lesser Spectre. You could walk through it, right?

[Lex]

yeah, you couldn't swing at it and so on...
