Hustled spectre

From A KoL Wiki
hustled spectre You're fighting a hustled spectre

This is the angry, tormented spirit of a pool-player who lost his stake to a shark, and uh... died? Somehow? I guess?

Anyway, he's pretty upset about the whole deal, which is perfectly natural really, but when you start taking it out on random passers-by, well, that's just dirty pool.

Hit Message(s):

The spectre sinks your <foot> in the corner pocket. Ooh! Ugh!

The spectre rakes you in the <foot> with a bridge, which is going a bit too far if you ask me. Ugh! Eek!

The spectre chucks a ball at your head. Turns out it's one of those antique celluloid balls, which have a habit of occasionally exploding. Ow! Ooh!

Rather than setting up any kind of a pun, the spectre just beats the hell out of you with a pool cue. Eek! Ouch!

Critical Hit Message:

The spectre cues up some pain, breaks your eye, scratches your thigh, and various other billiards terminology. Oof! Argh! Ouch!

Miss Message(s):

The spectre attempts to knock your <foot> into the corner pocket, but fails to do so.

The spectre appears to be thinking about clocking you with a rake. You'll be cross about that bridge when he gets to it.

The spectre tries to chuck a ball at your head, but it goes for a difficult bank shot and misses.

The spectre tries to hit you with a pool cue, but misses. Guess he should've tried something funnier.

Fumble Message:

The spectre takes a swing at you, but misses completely. That's a scratch, so now you've got ball-in-hand. Fnarr fnarr. (FUMBLE!)
