Possessed laundry press

From A KoL Wiki
possessed laundry press You're fighting a possessed laundry press

This is a device consisting of two heated metal rollers powered by a steam engine that heats them incredibly hot and rolls them forward. The idea is you feed clothes into it and they come out wrinkle-free, but stained with the blood of the fingers that you burst trying to feed the clothes into it.

The Spookyraven servants referred to this thing as a "Mangler," which is hardly what you want to hear on your first day of work in the laundry room.

Hit Message(s):

It pinches your <shins> in between its hot rollers. Yeowch! Ugh! Argh! Ow! Ow! Ouch! Oof! (hot damage)

It rolls and pinches your <shins>. Ow! Ow! Ugh! Ow! Ouch! Ouch!

It blasts you with searing-hot steam. Ow! Oof! Ugh! Ooh! Argh! Oof! (hot damage)

It rolls over your lower back with a hot roller. Argh! Argh! Eek! Ugh! Eek! Ugh! (hot damage)

Critical Hit Message:

It grabs onto a loose flap of your clothing and pulls you all the way through the tiny opening between the rollers. Between the pinching and the crushing and the searing heat, it's an unpleasant experience. Ow! Ooh! Ooh!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to pinch your fingers, but you give it the finger instead of giving it your finger.

It tries to pinch your <shins>, but you tell it not to.

It tries to blast you with hot steam, but you avoid the steam heat.

It tries to sear you with an unholy roller, but you rock out of the way.

It tries to pinch your <shins>, but you keep your <shins> well away from it.

It tries to steamroll you, but you assert yourself.

Fumble Message:

It runs low on steam and has to go find the stoker to get stoked about fighting you again. (FUMBLE!)
