You're fighting a giant bird-creatureYou spit on your palms, rub them together, and start climbing. One handhold after another, one foothold after another, your progress up the tower is steady and unflagging. Until suddenly, when you are perhaps halfway up, a deafening screech tears the air.
A gigantic birdlike creature -- neither a giant vulture nor a winged lizard but with aspects of both and a wingspan fully twice as long as Krakrox was tall -- swooped through the air, diving directly at the barbarian. Thinking quickly, Krakrox grabbed the coil of rope from his shoulder and whipped the grappling hook at the beast, leaping away from the wall of the tower as he did so.
The creature squawks and wheels away as the rope circles its neck, but too late to avoid being entangled. You find yourself soaring through the air, dragged through the sky by an angry bird monster. Gritting your teeth, you begin to climb the rope, determined to teach this monster a lesson.
Hit Message(s):
The giant bird-monster gives you a friendly peck on the cheek. Wait, not 'friendly'. What's the word? 'Face-stabbing'? Argh! Oof! Ouch! Argh!
The bird batters you violently with its wings. No, not that sort of batter. The painful kind. Oof! Ouch! Ugh! Ow!
The bird-monster clawed at Krakrox with its talons, opening a huge painful gash on his shoulder. He winced, but maintained his hold on the terrible creature. Ugh! Ugh! Eek! Eek!
Critical Hit Message:
The bird-monster flies low over some buildings and gives you a good crack against some ancient stonework. Eek! Ooh! Argh! Ow!
Miss Message(s):
The giant bird thrashes violently, trying to shake you off without losing control of its flight.
The giant bird attempted to claw Krakrox with its horrible talons, but the barbarian swung out of the way and readjusted his grip on the monster.
The bird-monster screeches angrily at you. Really, you'd be angry too, if some dick threw a rope around your neck and started riding you around while beating you with a sword.
Fumble Message:
In the course of trying to bite you the giant bird-thing forgets to watch where it's flying. It looks back at the last second, and with a screech and flurry of wings, narrowly avoids smacking directly into the tower. (FUMBLE!)
- Uttering a final pained squawk, the bird-lizard-thing crashed into some trees on the edge of the ancient city. Battered but largely unharmed by the rough landing, Krakrox climbed down from the trees and back to the forest floor.
