Investigator

investigator

You are fighting an investigator.

A strange floating object that looks a bit like an elongated pyramid, bristling with cameras, approaches you. Suddenly it lets out a piercing whistle, and a handful of green lights turn red. Several cameras retract to be replaced by lasers. Oh, goody.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• Did you know that targeting lasers and weapons-grade lasers are basically the same thing if you just turn up the power a little? Well, you do now. damage + (fire) damage
• The drone uses a cattle prod to herd you into a corner. Then it tries to herd you through the wall, which doesn't work so well for you. damage + (electric) damage
• The investigator produces a series of probes and proceeds to, um, investigate some portions of your anatomy you'd prefer remained uninvestigated.

It hits you for X damage.

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

Miss messages:

• You wince as three lasers lance toward your chest at the speed of light, but sigh when nothing happens. Guess they must have been stuck in targeting mode.
• The drone tries to herd you into a corner with a cattle prod, but you refuse to be cowed.
• The investigator produces an array of probes, but you tell it that the investigation has been closed due to statute of limitations issues.

Fumble messages:

Your foe fumbles! It takes X damage.
