You are fighting Brother Spleen.
You finally make it to the very end of the Moira mine, where it breaks into a natural chamber in the rock. There you find what's been driving all the monsters to attack: a giant, inflamed spleen! No wonder all of the creatures have been so irritable! If you can put this Brother Spleen out of commission, surely all of the other foes will revert to their normal, peaceful, non-human-eating ways. Right?
Your opponent attacks ...
Hit messages:
- Brother Spleen summons a handful of floating orange dots that burn like the dickens as they zip through your body. (fire) damage
- Brother Spleen vents his raging bile duct at you. It's nastier than the time you got slimed in the library. (acid) damage
- The Spleen releases a powerful, noxious gas. You try to blame it on a passing gypsy lady, but she places a painful curse on you for your effrontery. (psychic) damage
He hits you for X damage.
Critical hit message:
Your opponent has a critical hit! He hits you for X damage.
Miss messages:
- Brother Spleen summons a swarm of legendary pink dots, but they realize they're late for a gig and hop the next plane for Amsterdam.
- Brother spleen tries to spray you with bile, but accidentally releases a sanguine humor instead, leaving you feeling courageous, hopeful ... and maybe even a bit amorous? (Not toward the spleen, just in general.)
- The Spleen releases a powerful, noxious gas, but the quick use of a spare canned tornado funnels the bad air away.

Your foe fumbles! He takes X damage.

Brother spleen begins pulsing and quivering dramatically, and then weirdly just kind of fades into blackness as the electronics around it/him/whatever spark and explode. You don't even have time to relish victory before the light changes to a bloody red color, sirens ring out, and the whole place starts shaking like crazy.
A self-destruct mechanism attached to an oversize spleen? That's just too much.
A door at the back of the chamber opens. You rush over and peek through, seeing an impossibly tall vertical shaft lined in metal, with only the tiniest of rings and platforms to be used as hand and toe holds. Then you think: wait, how in the world is an encapsulated spleen supposed to evacuate from anywhere, much less up the world's most difficult climbing wall?
You sigh at yet another of life's unexplained mysteries and do the only sensible thing. You turn around and run right back up the mine shafts you already know lead to freedom.
With heroic timing you make it out of the shaft just in front of an explosive blast of dust from the swiftly collapsing mine. You pause until the dust settles, then remove your grimy helmet and heavy armor, your long hair blowing in the breeze (if applicable) and calmly wave to the collection of miners and heroes gathered around you.
Congratulations! Thou hast restored peace unto the mine! But there are many roads yet to travel. May the light shine upon thee.
Er, something like that...
