Combat Messages

• After combat while adventuring underwater:

  <name> performs an aquatic ballet recital, which is indistinguishable from regular swimming.

  <name> swims around in a figure-eight pattern, which is sort of like a dance for fish I guess?

  <name> does an elaborate tap-dance, but without the wooden floor or tap shoes or feet or not being underwater, it doesn't really sound like anything.

• After combat elsewhere:

  <name> performs a dance that you think might be from The Nutcracker, but it's hard to tell without music or legs.

  <name> does an interpretive dance that you guess is probably about the spirit of Crimbo? Or something?

  <name> either performs an energetic can-can dance, or flops around on the ground gasping for air.

• After combat with 11 of a guided monster:

  <name>'s nose glows extra brightly for a moment, revealing an item you hadn't previously noticed.

You acquire... something. [[Data:{{{item}}}]]

  <name> emits a warm red glow from atop your head.

  You gain 5−6 hit points.
