You are fighting a sewer rat of unusual size.
This is a rat that's grown so large it's almost inconceivable. As it climbs from its inconceivably large nest, there is a hungry gleam in its eyes that is almost inconceivable. Its claws are inconceivably sharp, and its teeth appear inconceivably wicked. You know, maybe I don't have such a good feel for what that word means.
Your opponent attacks ...
Hit messages:
- A flea from the rat bites you and gives you the plague. You get over it, but not without a lot of pain.
- You try to disbelieve that the rat exists, but frankly, it bites you anyway.
- The rat squeaks out a poignant rodent version of, "You killed my father, prepare to die!" before it bites you. At least you assume that's what it said; you don't really speak any rodent.
He hits you for X damage.
Critical hit message:
Your opponent has a critical hit! He hits you for X damage.
Miss messages:
- It leaps at you, but a jet of exploding sewer gas causes it to miss.
- Using your powers of logic and reason, you prove that no rat could ever grow to this size, and thus it must not exist. The rat has a moment of existential confusion, allowing you to back off.
- The rat swings a claw at you and scratches you so lightly it doesn't even count as a wound. You'd worry about infection, but thankfully rat scratch fever doesn't exist.
Fumble messages:
Your foe fumbles! He takes X damage.
Victory! You beat up your foe and win the combat!
You gain 22 experience.
You got an item: Cryptonase
