You're fighting St. PatrickYou encounter an old man in robes with a shepherd's crook, wrestling furiously with a huge pile of snakes. "Faith and begorrah!" he says, because that's the most stereotypical thing I could think of for him to say.
"Oh, jeez," you say. "Hey, mister! Do you need some help?"
The old man and all of the snakes turn and look at you. "Snakes," the old man intones solemnly, "the day I have trained ye for has finally arrived. ATTACK!"
Hit Message(s):
The old man notices you aren't wearing any green, and gives you a nasty pinch. Ugh! Eek! Oof! Oof! Ooh!
"Top o' the mornin' to ye," the old man says, and bonks you on the head with his staff. Ugh! Eek! Ow! Ooh! Ouch!
A snake bites you. And then another one. And then another one. And then... Ooh! Ow! Ouch! Ooh! Ugh!
It is difficult to breathe underneath a huge pile of snakes. (CRITICAL HIT!) Argh! Ooh! Ouch! Eek! Ow!
The old man starts to pinch you for not wearing any green, but you point out that he isn't either, so the two of you call a détente on the issue.
The old man tries to club you with his staff, but... well, you just duck, I guess. They don't all have to be complicated.
You snatch a snake out of the air as it leaps at you, and use it as a flail to bat away the other snakes that are also leaping at you.
Some of the snakes get knotted up and the old man has to untie them, muttering archaic Irish curses under his breath all the while. (FUMBLE!)
Occurs on St. Patrick's Day Island after choosing to Follow the trail of snakes in the Snakes in the Grasses non-combat adventure.
Notes
- St. Patrick's snakes will deal 3-5 instances of damage each round with the following message:
A snake bites you on the <arm>. 
You lose X hit points.
- X is roughly equal to 10% of your maximum HP.
- Blocks all(?) skills:
As you try to use that skill, a snake lunges at you and you lose track of what you were trying to do.
- Using a Half-digested rat will cause the boss to be stunned for 4+ rounds with the special use message:
You toss your half-digested rat towards St. Patrick. His snakes all mindlessly rush towards it. - And, for each round of combat that the stun lasts:
His snakes are briefly distracted by the half-digested rat you turned loose earlier.
