ZOM-Z petter

ZOM-Z petter

You are fighting a ZOM-Z petter.

Apparently the cyborg petting zoo does receive some visitors, but the visitors are also cyborgs. You're worried for a moment that this cyborg is set to "kill," but it turns out she's just stuck on "pet," which is equally worrying.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• The cyborg scuffs her shoes on the grounds, then reaches out and shocks you. (electric) damage
• The ZOM-Z petter just rubs you the wrong way. (psychic) damage
• She pets you, despite your repeated instance that you're not an animal, you're a superhero. (psychic) damage

She hits you for X damage.

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

Miss messages:

• The cyborg scuffs her shoes on the ground, but her cybernetic components are too well grounded.
• The ZOM-Z petter tries to ruffle your feathers, but you don't have feathers to ruffle. Unless you're like, a bird superhero or something. In which case, don't tell me, because she would have hit.
• She tries to pet you, but you remind her you're not an animal. You can't even play House of the Rising Sun.

Fumble messages:

Your foe fumbles! She takes X damage.

Notes

• At the end of each round of combat,

• If you neither attacked nor used a damaging spell

The animals stir uneasily, but you manage to keep the battle pretty quiet.

• If you attacked or used a damaging spell

The noise of your fight wakes up several animals that trample you for X damage.

or, if you did sonic damage:

Uh oh! Looks like the noise woke the animals... the X damage of angry, trampling animals.

followed by

The trampling animals really make a mess of the battle. It's hard to land a solid hit.

References

• The third miss message also refers to the song "The House of the Rising Sun" as performed by The Animals.
