Assassin

From A KoL Wiki
For the servant of the same name, see Assassin (servant).
Assassin You're fighting a Assassin

You approach a guy in a green hooded cloak to ask him if you're in the right place for the Stinkiest Adventurer contest.

"You dare speak to meeeee?" he says. "The world's greatest Assassin?"

"Wait... Assassin? You didn't go with some kind of clever joke? Just... assassin?"

He stares at you for a moment. His cloak flutters. Another moment passes.

"Oh," you say. "Okay. Now I get it."

Hit Message(s):

You may have smelt the attack just leveled against your <shoulder>, but it was definitely the Assassin who dealt the blow. Eek! Ow! Oof! (stench damage)

His attack against your <shoulder>, though silent, proves deadly. Ouch! Ow! Eek! (stench damage)

He cuts some cheese. The stench released is overwhelming. Ow! Argh! Ugh! (stench damage)

He envelops you in his billowing cloak, which then billows some more. This is worse than the time you ordered oatmeal at that Dutch restaurant! Eek! Oof! Ooh! (stench damage)

    He jumps surprisingly high, and avoids your attack.

Trivia

References

  • The hit message about the Dutch restaurant is referencing a 'Dutch oven', in which a person traps another's (usually their spouse) head under some kind of covers after farting in it.
