You're fighting an Ancient MarinerThis is one salty old salt -- he's practically covered with a saline rime. He's got a long beard, a glittering eye (and presumable an eye that's not so glittery), and skinny, brown hands. He's known for stopping one of three people who step on his lawn, and it looks like you just won the lottery.
Hit Message(s):
He bites your arm, he sucks the blood, and cries "a sail! A sail!" Ow! Ugh!
He holds you with his skinny hand. It pinches! Ooh! Oof!
He makes a sudden bound, which flings the blood into your head. You fall down in a swound (we don't know what it is, either). Ow! Argh!
With his cross-bow, he shoots the Albatross. By the way, your new name is the Albatross. Ow! Eek!
He fixes you with his glittering eye and tells you a long, drawn-out story about how he shot a bird, and everyone on his ship died, and he got really thirsty, and ... zzzzz.... you fall asleep and hit your head on the ground. Ow! Argh! Ugh!
He bites his arm, he sucks the blood, and cries "a sail! A sail!" Weird, but not a particularly effective attack.
He makes a sudden bound, which flings the blood into his head. He falls down in a swound. Good thing that swound was there.
He tries to hold you with his skinny hand, but his hands are too skinny to hold very well.
He tries to shoot you with his cross-bow, but his albatross-seeking arrows can't hit you.
He says "the agony returns; and till my ghastly tale is told, the heart within me burns." You offer him some antacids, which he gratefully accepts and swallows. (FUMBLE!)
