deadly vise You're fighting a deadly vise

Don't confuse this with a deadly vice--those are fun things that are bad for you, like smoking licorice whips while pounding quarts of buttermilk while driving while blindfolded. This is just a device designed to grab something and hold it firmly while you apply the glue/solder/whipped cream.

Or, rather, that's what it was until a student dripped some blood on it after a run-in with a jigsaw. Now that it's got the taste of blood, it just wants to grab any part of you it can and squeeze until it gets more.

Hit Message(s):

It stops squeezing and just drops flat on your foot. Somehow, the squeezing was better. Eek!

It squeezes your temple until you see stars. Eek!

It squeezes your eyebrow, leaving you with a permanently shocked expression. Eek!

It squeezes your <shins> in its vise, hard enough to leave a mark. Eek!

It squeezes your ankle in its vise. Ankle vise, ankle vise, every morning you greet me... Eek!

It squeezes your finger in its vise, like those jerks who have something to prove with their handshake-squeezing power. Eek!

Critical Hit Message:

It clamps onto your finger and squeezes until the nail pops open like a little trapdoor leading to pain central station. Man, just writing that hurt my hand a little. Eek!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to squeeze your ankle in its vise, but you yank your foot back and avoid the ankle vise.

It tries to squeeze your finger in its vise, but you give it a different finger.

It tries to squeeze your nose, but you don't want your nose squoze.

It tries to squeeze your <shins> in its vise, but the little crank gets stuck.

It tries to just drop onto your foot, but you pull back and let it clang to the floor. Take that, stupid vise!

It tries to squeeze your temple, but can't fit over your whole head.

Fumble Message:

It tries to squeeze shut on your nipple, but misses and snaps shut on nothing. It gets stuck and can't pull itself back open for a few minutes. (FUMBLE!)
