You are fighting an unidentifiable English king.
This is one of the former kings of England. You're not quite sure which one--they all kind of run together and half of Shakespeare's kings were named Henry, anyway. Maybe you should have paid more attention in history class, huh?
Your opponent attacks ...
Hit messages:
- The king gives a very impassioned speech -- something about putting on his breeches once more -- and then charges you.
- It's been said a man can die but once. But before he dies he can be hurt many, many times. The king demonstrates this by hitting you repeatedly.
- The king leers at you. Oh! So this must be king Lear. Ow, that pun is just awful. It's so bad it hurts. Literally.
He hits you for X damage.
Critical hit message:
Your opponent has a critical hit! He hits you for X damage.
Miss messages:
- The king is too busy eating the bitter bread of banishment to do anything else.
- The king apparently decides "the better part of valor is discretion" and chooses--for the moment--to hang back.
- Instead of attacking you he runs around looking for his horse, but never seems to find it.
