You are fighting a big & tall shoreman.

This shore worker isn't just long, he's big and tall.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• The shoreman swipes at you with his longshoreman's hook and mauls you something fierce. If you've ever been mauled by a bear, it feels something like that.
• You try to run and dodge, but this guy's so big he only takes two steps for three of yours. He catches you easily and jerks mercilessly on your arm.
• He claps his two giant ham-sized fists against your skull, making a ham sandwich. With your head as the bread on the inside and his hands as the ham on the outside. It's a pretty lousy sandwich, I guess.

He hits you for X damage.

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

Miss messages:

• He presses his attack but you refuse to give in to pier pressure.
• The dock worker tosses you off the dock and into the water, and then watches and laughs as you climb out. You're wet, but basically unharmed.
• Before he can attack you whip out a piece of rope and deftly tie a stopper not. Obligingly, he stops.
