View source for Melissa the Mage

'''Melissa the Mage''' was an assistant to and love interest of [[Kronos|Kronos the Mage]]. She assisted in the creation of the [[Blackrock Detector]].

After the [[Royal Council Massacre]], she revealed herself as a servant of [[Nosfentor]], one of the three [[Shadowlords]].  She had been turned into a monster of some kind, and proved to be a very difficult fight.  The fact that a [[Balron]], sometimes a [[Paragon]] one, happened to occupy the same room she was in didn't help.

Defeating her yielded a 25,000 point ticket for [[Spring Cleaning 2008]] and [[Melissa's Cloak]] being dropped in player's backpacks. Her corpse could also hold rare loot items such as peerless ingredients, [[Item Set]] pieces, [[Crimson Cincture]]s, and [[a pearl necklace]].

Melissa appeared again during the [[Cloak and Dagger]] event, wherein she ordered members of the [[Shadowlords]] [[Faction]] to assassinate the mage [[Clainin]].

=== Known Speech ===
== The Unveiling of the Blackrock Detector, Day 2 ==
???

== [[Royal Council Massacre]] ==
After being summoned by speaking [[Eored]]...
 * Ah...
 * Looking for something?
 * Kronos, perhaps?
 * Oh wait, he's dead!
 * *smiles*
 * Or maybe it's someone of a more... manly demeanor. Avery, was it?
 * Pity. You came all this way just to die.

After being defeated in combat...
 * Fools!
 * This.
 * Isn't.
 * Over.

==[[Cloak and Dagger]]==
During this event Melissa was played by each [[Shard]]'s [[Event Moderator]], and thus her speech differed, shard-to-shard.  In general, however, she can fairly be said to be played as a kind of "dominatrix" figure, for want of a better term.  On one shard, for example, in response to a player complaining out-of-character about the event, Melissa, remaining in character, called him a "disgrace to the Faction" for whining.

In the event that the Shadowlors Faction themselves proved not up to the task of killing Clainin, she took care of it herself.
