Darkness

From TheKolWiki

Not to be confused with the monster in the Sorceress' Tower, the darkness

You're fighting the darkness

Hit Message(s):

You gain some Meat.

You acquire... something. [[Data:{{{item}}}]]

Occurs when fighting enemies while Temporarily Blinded.

Notes

• The amount of experience gained, meat dropped, and items acquired, are comparable to the type of monster you are actually facing, depending on the location being adventured in.
• Casting CLEESH will result in this message:

  You cast CLEESH at your opponent. It turns into ... some kind of amphibian, you imagine..

• The initiative message is always gender-neutral: "You get the jump on it" or "It gets the jump on you." However, the combat messages from certain skills and items, such as spices, will reveal your opponent's gender.
• Casting Magic Missile will result in this message:

  You attack the darkness. An elf with blue... no, gray eyes falls out of the darkness, clutching a can of Mountain Stream. You wish briefly for some cheesy puffed corn snacks.

  Mountain Stream soda

  You acquire an item: Mountain Stream soda

• Critical hit and fumble messages are shown as though the monster wasn't obscured in darkness.

References

• "Attacking the Darkness" is a reference to the Dead Alewives' Dungeons and Dragons sketch. This is further cemented by the combat text when casting Magic Missile, as the sketch involves a wizard casting Magic Missile at the darkness, a character whose eye-color is in dispute, and someone demanding to know where the Mountain Dew and Cheetos (a cheesy puffed corn snack) are.
