Mining machinery

You are fighting mining machinery.

You can't tell if there's a mind behind this clockwork mining machine that's driving it to attack you, or if it simply is under the erroneous impression that you're a bank of valuable minerals.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

It hits you with its sonic drill. Which totally sounds like a sci-fi thing, but is really actually just a thing. (sonic) damage
Sixteen tons and what does it get? A tunnel collapsing on its enemies, which you have to admit is better than most places would give their mining machinery.
It mines you until tiny cubes of hero start breaking off.

It hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

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

Miss messages:

It briefly catches you with its sonic drill, but you're able to escape before you get any bad vibrations.
Sixteen tons and what does it get? A ceiling collapse, which you're able to dodge, leaving the machinery temporarily pinned.
It tries to mine you, but gets distracted by a cubic diamond (not to be mistaken for cubic zirconia, which wouldn't be worth much, or a cubicle diamond, which is the only substance harder than asking your boss for a raise).

Fumble messages:

Your foe fumbles! It takes X damage.

Victory! You beat up your foe and win the combat!
