You are fighting queen ZOM-I.
It turns out, with sufficiently advanced cybernetics, "the queen is dead, long live the queen" might have a totally different meaning than the one you're used to.
However, ZOM-I doesn't seem particularly interested in discussing the finer points of succession law... as long as it's not gavelkind. Screw gavelkind.
Your opponent attacks ...
Hit messages:
- The queen reveals a decorated orb from her throne, pulls out the pin, and throws it at you. Wait, pin? damage + (fire) damage
- The queen shouts "off with your head!" so loudly it actually cuts you. Yeah, I don't know how it works either. Probably a royalty thing. damage + (sonic) damage
- After a fierce exchange of blows, you get a little blue blood on you. That stuff is cold. (ice) damage
She hits you for X damage.
Critical hit message:
Your opponent has a critical hit! She hits you for X damage.
Miss messages:
- The queen reveals a decorated orb from her throne and tries to figure out the instructions. But she counts to five and it doesn't seem to work at all.
- The queen shouts "off with your head," but you're reluctant to comply.
- After a fierce exchange of blows, you get a little blue blood on you. Is she a horseshoe crab or something?
