deranged quester

You are fighting a deranged quester.

Since you changed this poor soul's costume, he's been mobbed by men with punctuation marks over their heads, sending him off to get sacred orbs or spaceship parts or boar spleens. You think he's finally cracked.

Either that or somebody offered him some pocket change for the extra scrap of spandex you're pretty sure you weren't carrying around until just now.
Your opponent attacks ...

• The adventurer attempts to hit you until loot pops out. So far, so good.
• The deranged quester stops moving for a second, then launches into a barrage of swordstrokes and fireballs. damage+ (fire) damage
• The quester starts digging through his belt pouch, muttering about a healing potion. He doesn't find that, but does find a flask of acid, which he dumps out. Thankfully, you manage to prevent him from polluting... with your foot. Which, admittedly, was there anyway, but it sounds more heroic this way. (acid) damage
