 You're fighting a Gnollish Piebaker

This is a Gnollish Piebaker, one of the citizens of Degrassi Knoll who gets up each morning saying "Time to make the pies."

Hit Message(s):

He sprinkles dill into a wad of dough and smacks you in the <forehead> with it. Ewww. Ouch! Ugh!

He opens a pie and releases four-and-twenty blackbirds, who peck you in the <forehead>. Ugh! Ow!

He hits you with a sweet cherry pie. It hurts so bad it makes a grown man cry. Ooh! Ooh!

He hits you with a warm apple pie. It hurts as bad as that one time, in band camp... Ouch! Argh!

He hits you with a rhubarb pie. You rue the fact that the barbs penetrate your skin. Oof! Ow!

Critical Hit Message:

He juggles three gigantic cream pies and sends them flying toward you. Looks like he has no regard for human life. Even his own. Oof! Ugh!

Miss Message(s):

He throws a cream pie at you, but you catch it and fling it right back.

He opens a pie and releases a bunch of blackbirds. But you tell 'em to take their sunken eyes and learn to see.

He tries to hit you with a sweet cherry pie, but you counter with a cool drink of water.

He tries to hit you with a warm apple pie, but for some reason there's a hole in the middle and it doesn't connect.

He tries to hit you with a rhubarb pie, but you're immune because you don't know what rhubarb is.

Fumble Message:

He produces a shepherd's pie and starts to throw it at you, but slips on a cow pie on the ground and falls over. (FUMBLE!)

• The encounter text refers to a commercial for the store Dunkin' Donuts, in which a baker rises early every day and moans, "Time to make the donuts".
• The miss text refers to the song Blackbird, by The Beatles: "Blackbird singing in the dead of night/Take these sunken eyes and learn to see".
• The hit message refers to an old nursery rhyme Sing a song of sixpence where four-and-twenty blackbirds are baked into a pie.
• The "warm apple pie" with "a hole in the middle" is a reference to the 1999 comedy American Pie. As is the line "one time at bandcamp"--there are many instances of that phrase in pop culture, and most originate from that film.
