Red Ring of Death

You are fighting a Red Ring of Death.

"Open," you say. "Open the pod bay doors."

An eerie voice replies, "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

You try to reply that you're not Dave, but the sudden lack of oxygen is causing you some problems.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

  • The ring charges at you. You tried not to look, but now you've seen it, and are destined to die within the week. Or, you know, right now.
  • The ring glows brighter and bricks the console. And then bricks you, right upside the head.
  • You attempt to get rid of the ring by appealing to the console warranty, but you go unconsoled.



It hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

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



Miss messages:

  • The ring tries to kill you by making you see it, but that only works in movies.
  • You block with your red right hand. I guess it was just a tiny little cog.
  • You trick the ring into complacence by singing it a song about flowers. Or a girl named after a flower. You don't really know what that song is about, but it works.



Fumble messages:

Your foe fumbles! It takes X damage.


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


You gain 10 experience.
