Upgrade Nessie, er Sallie

Just ran across this critter in Croatoa the other day, for the first time. I felt a bit guilty when I 1-shot her with a ranged attack.



Suggestion: Upgrade this mob to GM status and create an associated badge.
You can never have too many GMs to fight.

You want to hurt poor Sally more?!

What hell kinda monster are you?
She should be a clicky.
No, I'm serious.

Edit: And I've just thought; there's already both Jack AND Eochai in Croatoa. How many GMS do you want in one zone?

Sally has the same problem that dolphins and puppies do. She's cute and lovable so everyone feels bad when they have to smack her down and make sandwiches out of her,...er get the badge.

I bet if she had huge fangs or smacked you around with the tail she doesn't have nobody would have a problem with pounding the tar out of her.

It's ugly animal prejudice I tell ya!


On a more serious note I've always thought that she should be changed to a mutant cross between the Ghost ship and Lusca:

Let her travel all the water zones(IP,Croatoa,Founders,Striga, Talos, and even some red side zones), up her speed, keep her always running on her path, give her a good sized chunk of HP, and up the smackdown count to say 5 to get the badge.

You could even add in 1 poison spit attack that does a moderate duration unresistable hold(if it hit) that would slow you down to give her a chance to escape.

That might make her too hard or "grindy"(is that a word?) for some though. Too many people want free or minimal work badges now-a-days.

Anyway, Just a thought.

I always liked the idea of adding a "camera" temp power that you have to use on her to get the badge.

I feel sad for the OP, who clearly doesn't understand the point of this encounter.

The point of this encounter is to "touch" her twice. Then you get a badge. Sally is on a 30 minute ish timer. She appears in a number of places around the island in the lake. "touch" her twice and you will get a badge (as said above) called Believer.
She is supposed to be rare. It is like seeing Nessie (hence believer).

How does the OP have a MA arc about Croatoa without knowing anything about Croatoa's most famous "monster"? (I'd also mention registration date indicating a higher knowledge of the game, but that doesn't always mean anything, as people come and go all the time.)

When Sally first showed up, heroes practically lined the shores looking for her, and woe unto anyone who laid a finger on her without being part of a full team! One of my toons actually crit'ed her and go the badge with one strike.

I like the temporary camera power idea. Maybe you could buy the camera from a beachside vendor for 500 influence or something.

I wonder if it is possible to target Sally for buffs? Maybe that could be a new Friends of Sally badge.

Instead of making Sally a contact, how about making her a conduit to an instanced mission deep beneath Salamanca? When you get the assignment from the contact, you have to "catch" Sally so that she can carry you through the underwater caverns to a lost civilization that needs heroes.

Not sure if it'd be possible, but if they were to change it, I thought it would be awesome if they made her a roaming exo badge type of deal.

No need to hit her, just wander near her, then she dives for a few minutes then pops back up.
