 You're fighting The ghost of Sam McGee

Bitter winds shriek on the Icy Peak;
If you don't mind how you're dressed,
You'll freeze your ass on a mountain pass,
And die like all of the rest.
Throughout the zone, ghosts howl and moan,
Insubstantial though they might be;
But there's one who'll kill to stop the chill --
That's the ghost of Sam McGee.

Hit Message(s):

The ghost sets your hair on fire, and seems annoyed that you won't stand still so he can warm his hands. Ouch! (hot damage)

The ghost lights your <elbow> on fire and warms his hands over it. Argh! (hot damage)

The ghost lights a bonefire to keep warm. That's not a typo -- he sets your bones on fire. Eek! (hot damage)

Critical Hit Message:

The ghost pulls out a flamethrower and light everything in the area on fire, yourself included. (CRITICAL HIT!) Ow! (hot damage)

Miss Message(s):

The ghost tries to light your hair on fire, but his hands are shaking too much to light a match.

The ghost tries to light your <elbow> on fire, but has trouble with his "windproof" lighter.

The ghost tries to set your bones on fire, but fortunately they're too damp from all the blood and stuff.

Fumble Message:

The ghost is too busy shivering to fight for the moment. Which is weird for a ghost, but maybe it's just force of habit. (FUMBLE!)
