Investigator

investigator

You are fighting an investigator.

A strange floating object that looks a bit like an elongated pyramid, bristling with cameras, approaches you. Suddenly it lets out a piercing whistle, and a handful of green lights turn red. Several cameras retract to be replaced by lasers. Oh, goody.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

Did you know that targeting lasers and weapons-grade lasers are basically the same thing if you just turn up the power a little? Well, you do now. damage + (fire) damage
The drone uses a cattle prod to herd you into a corner. Then it tries to herd you through the wall, which doesn't work so well for you. damage + (electric) damage
The investigator produces a series of probes and proceeds to, um, investigate some portions of your anatomy you'd prefer remained uninvestigated.

It hits you for X damage.

Your opponent has a critical hit! It hits you for X damage.

Miss messages:

You wince as three lasers lance toward your chest at the speed of light, but sigh when nothing happens. Guess they must have been stuck in targeting mode.
The drone tries to herd you into a corner with a cattle prod, but you refuse to be cowed.
The investigator produces an array of probes, but you tell it that the investigation has been closed due to statute of limitations issues.
