Talk:Aglaope

Aglaope is not quite as simple as she might seem from her stats, check out aglaopesong() in wizard.c, and the wizard movement code where it's called.

To summarize, though, she warps the player to her instead of the other way around (separates the bard from their pets), at the same time she either buffs all the monsters on the current dungeon level or debuffs all the bard's pets. If her theft attack hits, she teleports away from the player, preventing counterattacks.

Teleport control does not defend against the warping, so good AC or an engagement ring (prevents the theft) is recommended, as well as a magic whistle (to rally your pets).--Chris (talk) 22:59, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Huh, thanks. I searched `PM_AGALOPE` in the source, so I guess I missed that function. Didn't see it mentioned either, but I'll add that. Also, there should probably be a better list of monster songs/singing monsters on the wiki somewhere, the source is all over the place. --EasterlyIrk (talk) 23:43, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
