V.I.L.L.A.I.N.

V.I.L.L.A.I.N.

You are fighting V.I.L.L.A.I.N..

When you shrink yourself down into the network, you find it entirely inhabited by one massive program. The Variable Input Limitless Logic Artificial Intelligence Node turns to face you as you approach. Or maybe it just renders a face on one side.

Either way, it doesn't look like it's interested in playing imitation games.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• It starts deleting your collection of cute kitten pics. For science. The monster! (psychic) damage
• It hexes you. Actually, it just converts everything to hex, then hits you while you're trying to carry the D.
• It drops a floating point on your head. Ow!

It hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

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

Miss messages:

• It starts deleting your collection of cute kitten pics. Which is good. Because everyone knows the wave of the future is adorable hedgehog pictures.
• It tries to convert you to hext, but you already know how to count to A.
• It tries to drop a floating point on your head, but it rounds improperly. It still can't explain how you weld metal to a song, though.

Fumble messages:

Your foe fumbles! It takes X damage.

Victory! You beat up your foe and win the combat!

Notes

• Number of EOL drinks that drop are proportion to the number of different people who used blue lawn darts.
• Combat items that deal percentage damage are useless; only blue lawn darts are effective in allowing you to deal more damage per turn.
• Weakening it works but it improves its offensive power by about 20 points per round. Its defensive power doesn't improve over time.
• Stunning is less effective and lasts half as long, with the message

Your opponent is too stunned to act, but is shaking it off faster than you expected.

• The foe's normal and special attacks can be blocked.
• At the end of each turn, if the foe has taken less than 8000 damage, the foe's shield and health status are displayed in the message:

<shield> <health>

• <shield> depends on the number of darts used.

• If no darts have been used:

A interlocking array of shields spin around

• If one dart has been used:

A cracked shield rotates around

• If two darts have been used:

Multiple holes pierce the shields surrounding

• If more darts have been used:

Massive holes pierce the shields surrounding

• <health> depends on the damage dealt so far.

• No damage:

V.I.L.L.A.I.N.'s undamaged form.

• 1 to 1400 damage:

V.I.L.L.A.I.N.'s form.

• 1401 to 2000 damage:

V.I.L.L.A.I.N.'s crackling form.

• 2001 to 2600 damage:

V.I.L.L.A.I.N.'s scorched form.

• 2601 to 4000 damage:

V.I.L.L.A.I.N.'s charred form.

• 4000 to 6000 damage:

V.I.L.L.A.I.N.'s form as it begins to derezz. followed by one of

Massive blocks of derezzing data crash around you, almost crushing you.

Massive blocks of derezzing data crash into you for X damage.

• 6000 to 7999 damage:

V.I.L.L.A.I.N.'s form as it begins to crash. followed by one of

You're pretty used to computers crashing, though, so it doesn't really faze you.

The ground at your feet disappears, but you saw that coming a mile away.

The ground at your feet disappears, but you're able to jump far enough it hardly matters.

The ground at your feet disappears, but you react in time to get out of the way.

Its secret volcano base collapses around you. Didn't we mention the secret volcano base? Ah well, moral of the story is you take X (fire) damage from the lava.

It accidentally sets the temperature variable to zero... Absolute Zero. The rain of frozen bits and bytes deals you X (ice) damage.

Something shorts out. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but you're so tiny right now it deals X (electric) damage.

For a moment, it seems the program can only remember BEEP and GOTO. The resulting cacophony ends tears; roughly X (sonic) damage worth of your tears, in fact.

The ground at your feet disappears, dumping you into a shark tank filled with acid. It turns out the sharks are quite friendly, but the acid deals X (acid) damage.

The words "PC LOAD LETTER" appear in massive letters over you. The resulting fear and confusion deal X (psychic) damage.

• After taking more than 8000 damage, the message is

V.I.L.L.A.I.N. collapses, decompiling itself into harmless bits and bytes, leaving computing safe... for now.

• V.I.L.L.A.I.N. is only defeated after the last health message is displayed, so if it is blocked, it will not be defeated yet.

Reference

• The image and health messages refer to the MCP, the main antagonist of the movie Tron.
