 You're fighting an Axis infantry skeleton

A skeleton pops out of a foxhole like a rattly jack-in-the-box and levels his* rifle at you. Fortunately, the fox stole all his ammunition. Unfortunately, he's got a great big bayonet mounted on the front of the thing.

* Possibly her, but you don't have time to stop and measure the pelvis or whatever.

Hit Message(s):

An empty rifle with a bayonet on it is basically just an extremely overproduced spear. Any kind of spear is still pretty good at putting holes into you, though. Ouch! Eek! Eek! Ouch! Ugh! Argh! Eek! Ooh! Ugh! Ouch!

At least you have the satisfaction of knowing that all the blood from your stab wounds is pouring into the skeleton's rifle barrel, which is going to make it hell to clean. Ooh! Ugh! Argh! Argh! Ow! Oof! Argh! Oof! Ooh! Ugh!

The skeleton flips its rifle over and clonks you with the butt end. You know, just to keep the stabbing from getting too repetitive. Argh! Ow! Ooh! Ow! Eek! Ooh! Ow! Argh! Ouch! Ow!

The skeleton stabs you several times with its bayonet. Stab stab stab stabbity stab. Stab stab. Stab. Ugh! Ow! Ouch! Eek! Ooh! Ouch! Ugh! Oof! Ugh! Ooh!

Critical Hit Message:

The skeleton stabs you with its bayonet, then fires its rifle directly into the hole. Oof, looks like it did have some ammo left after all. (CRITICAL HIT!) Ooh! Ooh! Argh! Ow! Ugh! Oof! Ooh! Ugh! Ugh! Ooh!

Miss Message(s):

The skeleton is unable to stab you because of your stab-proof jacket. I mean, you aren't actually wearing a stab-proof jacket, but the skeleton doesn't know that, so...

The skeleton tries to bash you with the butt of its rifle, but the legs get in the way. What do you mean rifles don't have legs? Look, you can't have a butt without legs, that doesn't make any sense.

Turns out that isn't a bayonet, it's a mayonet, which is designed for god this is stupid

Fumble Message:

The skeleton charges at you, and accidentally falls back into its foxhole. (FUMBLE!)
