You're fighting a Mer-kin minerThis Mer-kin has been tasked with removing useful ores from the rocky sea-bed, to be crafted into tools and weapons. This is an important task -- you certainly wouldn't refer to it as 'lesser', or 'trivial', or 'negligible', or 'inconsequential', or...
Hit Message(s):
He quickly mines some ore, smelts it, forges it into a sharp hooked spear, and stabs you in the <foot> with it. Argh! Ugh! Argh! Ugh! Ugh!
You get bashed in the head with a metal ingot. The Mer-kin dealt the blow, so I guess he smelted the ore too. Argh! Eek! Argh! Argh! Ooh!
He discovers a rich mineral vein to extract from your <foot>. Eek! Oof! Ouch! Ugh! Ugh!
The miner takes a moment to pick your brains. Literally. Argh! Eek! Ooh! Argh! Ow!
He starts to bash you with a metal ingot, but you say "What am I, an anvil? Ha ha ha, get it? Anvil?" Your opponent looks perplexed.
He starts to mine your <foot> for ore, but you inform him that he doesn't really want what he'll find in there.
He quickly mines some ore, smelts it, and tries to forge it into a spear to stab you with, but he can't get a proper edge on the blade and gives up in a huff. Temper, temper.
The miner gets distracted and starts to pick his nose, but catches himself and stops before he does any damage. (FUMBLE!)

- The hit message about smelting ore is a reference to the flatulence-related epigram, "Whoever smelt it, dealt it."
- Tempering is a way of processing metal to make it stronger or more ductile.
History
- As part of August 2025's revamps of The Sea, the mer-kin digpick now conditionally has a 40% drop rate when you do not already possess one. This also means that it cannot be retrieved by dolphin thieves.
