You are fighting a vogue rogue.
This rogue strives to be as stylishly modern as possible while imitating an ancient lifestyle. With that kind of internal conflict it's no wonder she's turned to crime.
Your opponent attacks ...
Hit messages:
- The rogue whips out a belt and lashes you with it. What really hurts is the onion tied to the end. Apparently that's the style these days.
- She riddles you with arrows. "Man?" you guess. "No, wait, the letter 'e'?" But by then it's too late.
- The rogue performs a Madonna-esque dance. It's a stylish tango ... of pain and suffering.
She hits you for X damage.
Critical hit message:
Your opponent has a critical hit! She hits you for X damage.
Miss messages:
- The rogue aims, but the hood of her fancy cloak slips down over her eyes and she can't see to aim.
- The vogue rogue charges you. Thinking quickly, you pull out a hair iron and crimp her style.
- She slings arrows at you, but outrageous fortune allows you to dodge them all.
Fumble messages:
Your foe fumbles! She takes X damage.
Victory! You beat up your foe and win the combat!
