Gnollish Flyslayer

From A KoL Wiki
Gnollish Flyslayer You're fighting a Gnollish Flyslayer

This is one of the Gnolls whose job it is to clear Degrassi Knoll of the enormous horseflies that plague it. Have you ever seen a horsefly? Or a housefly? Or heard a rubber band? Or... never mind. Just fight the deadly-flyswatter-wielding Gnoll.

Hit Message(s):

He smacks you repeatedly with his flyswatter, wounding you and killing any number of flies in the process. Oof! Ouch!

He smacks you on the <face> with his flyswatter. If you were a fly, you'd be toast. Ow! Argh!

He swats an enormous horsefly straight into you. It bites off a chunk of your flesh, which is why you shouldn't look a gift horsefly in the mouth. Argh! Oof!

He gores you with his horns while swatting you with the flyswatter. You feel like you've had a particularly rough fraternity hazing. Argh! Argh!

He summons an army of zombie flies to swarm around you. You spin around swatting them until you fall smack on your <face>. Argh! Ooh!

He swings his flyswatter and cuts off your <face> with it! Well, not really, but it leaves a nasty welt. Ouch! Ugh!

Critical Hit Message:

He swings his flyswatter so fast it becomes a blur of stinging, smacking pain. By the time he stops, you're covered with nasty red welts. Man, this reads like really bad fanfic, doesn't it? Argh! Ugh!

Miss Message(s):

He tries to smack you, but you confuse him by asking what you call a fly with no wings.

He swings his flyswatter, but you block with your flyswatterswatter, which appears out of nowhere and immediately vanishes.

He swats a horsefly straight at you, but you're coated in foul-smelling insect repellant. And this particularly horsefly is, indeed, foul-smelling.

He tries to gore you with his horns, but you dodge with your strings.

He summons an army of zombie flies to swarm you, but they're not particularly effectual, what with the decomposing wings and all.

He tries to swat you with his flyswatter, but you tell him you're not kinky like that.

Fumble Message:

A swarm of flies appears out of nowhere and grabs his flyswatter? Somehow, as one hive-mind, they pick it up and smack the Gnoll about the head and neck with it. Irony! (FUMBLE!)
