Mer-kin alphabetizer You're fighting a Mer-kin alphabetizer

This Mer-kin monk is in charge of keeping all of library's tomes of arcane knowledge in alphabetical order. Since the tomes are written in an ancient runic alphabet with more than 3,000 characters, it takes a very special kind of mind to alphabetize them. One might even say it takes a beautiful mind.

One might also say that such a mind would be profoundly annoyed at some idiot air-breather knocking over a stack of carefully organized tomes. That one would be right.

He slams your <neck> in a book. That's gonna leave a bookmark. Oof! Oof! Eek! Ouch! Eek!

He decides to put all of your internal organs in alphabetical order. Putting your appendix on top of your brain is surprisingly painful. Oof! Ouch! Oof! Ugh! Ow!

He hits you in the face with a tome, giving you a bruise and several papercuts. Ugh! Ooh! Ugh! Argh! Oof!

He hits you in the <neck>, <neck>, and <neck>with a trilogy of evil books. Well, at least it wasn't a decalogy. Argh! Ow! Ow! Oof! Oof!

Notes

  • This monster has a soft damage cap that kicks in if your attack would do more than 400 damage. The actual damage done in that case is (X-400)^.75 + 400, where X is the damage your attack would have done without the cap.
  • This monster has a chance of shrugging off multi-round stuns, including the round they are used. If a stun is shrugged off instead of wearing off normally the monster will also attack that round.
    • Even if the stun is resisted, Shell Up with a Blessing of the Storm Tortoise active will still technically prevent monster actions for approximately 2 rounds, due to it not taking effect until the monster attacks and would've hit.
