You're fighting Arthur FrankensteinThe Spookiest Adventurer contest has come down to just you and a terrifying flesh golem, apparently built from the stitched-together limbs of dead adventurers.
"Wow, crazy," you say. "I didn't expect to have to fight a Frankenstein's monster."
"NOT CALL ME MONSTER," he hollers. "IS RUDE!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. ...Mr. Frankenstein?"
"ME ARTHUR! MR. FRANKENSTEIN MY CREATOR!" he roars angrily.
Hit Message(s):
He punches you in the <skull> with a fist that used to belong to either a heavyweight boxer, or a bulldozer. Oof! Ow! Oof! Oof! Ouch!
He punches you with a fist that you're pretty sure has had a bunch of extra knuckles installed in it. Argh! Oof! Argh! Ow! Ouch!
He slams you into the ground with an arm like a piledriver. It might have an actual piledriver under the skin, for all you know. Oof! Argh! Oof! Eek! Argh!
He stomps you with those thick-soled shoes that make him look taller while also correcting the fact that one leg is slightly longer than the other. Oof! Ooh! Argh! Ooh! Ooh!
Arthur makes a fist, pulls off that arm with his other arm, and beats you with it. (CRITICAL HIT!) Ouch! Argh! (spooky damage)
You dodge Arthur's punch, and he smashes his fist into a brick wall. With a grunt, he unscrews the broken fist and replaces it with a spare from his pocket.
You duck underneath his swing, and the mass of his fist spins him around like a carousel.
He slams his fist into the ground right where you were standing. Good job not being standing there anymore!
He starts to stomp on you, but gets distracted when you start singing "Puttin' on the Ritz".
He gets a little confused trying to keep up with your fancy dodging. It turns out he has two left feet. (FUMBLE!)
Occurs at A Crowd of Adventurers (Spookiest Adventurer contest) in The Naughty Sorceress' Tower.
