Hit messages:

• Arms akimbo, he blasts you with both his pistols.
• His pistol might shoot cork, but cork to the eye still smarts. And by smarts, I mean makes you stupid.

• That one pistol is supposed to be water, but water don't burn like that... (acid) damage

He hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

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

Miss messages:

• Arms akimbo, he... does nothing, because his hands are on his hips.
• He shoots you with a cork gun, which is about as effective as it sounds.
• That one pistol is supposed to be water, and it is.

Your foe fumbles! He takes X damage.

Notes

• Sometimes, at the end of a round of combat:

A weight drops in the distance. You don't pay it much attention until the rope it's attached to loops around your foot and drags you away from your opponent.

foe becomes "Distant"

or, if wielding a melee weapon

A weight drops in the distance. You don't pay it much attention until the rope it's attached to loops around your foot and drags you away from your opponent. That'll make it pretty hard to use your <melee weapon>.

foe becomes "Distant"

• If the foe is "Distant", your next melee attack is replaced by:

You rush up, closing the distance with your opponent.
