You're fighting a swarm a-swarmingThis is a swarm of tiny winged robots, each equipped with various tiny weapons, each ready to kick a tiny portion of your candy ass.
Hit Message(s):
The tiny robots flame you with tiny flamethrowers. Now you know how the air over a concert feels. Ow! Ugh! Ooh!
The tiny robots shoot several tiny missiles at you. In the aggregate, it hurts pretty bad. Ouch! Oof! Argh!
The tiny robots perforate you with tiny bullets from tiny machine guns. It's like getting a tattoo with an incredibly blunt needle. Oof! Oof! Ow!
The tiny robots slash you with their tiny swords. It's like getting a hundred papercuts all at once. Ugh! Ouch! Eek!
The tiny robots swarm at you and attack all together, gouging, scraping, stabbing, and insulting you. You collapse under the assault, peppered with injuries. Eek! Ooh! Argh! Ugh! Ow!
A tiny robot tries to flame you with a tiny flamethrower, but you just use it to light your pipe. Remember that pipe you smoke?
A tiny robot shoots a tiny missile at you, but you swat it aside.
A tiny robot fires a tiny machine gun at you, but you dodge.
A tiny robot stabs you with a tiny sword. You feel the muscles in your neck relax.
A maverick robot decides it doesn't want to be part of the swarm anymore, and leads a revolution. The resultant infighting leaves the whole swarm incapable of attacking this round. (FUMBLE!)
