usher You're fighting an usher

This guy's job is to show guests around the house, but instead he's trying to kill you. Perhaps the house has affected his mind, or maybe it's because you weren't actually invited. A third possibility is that he's worked out that killing guests is much faster than showing them around this massive place, and therefore he gets more time to goof off.

Hit Message(s):

He ushers his fist into the side of your head, then points out the lovely view of spinning stars. Argh! Oof! Argh! Ugh!

He politely shows you to a chair, and then smashes it over your head. Argh! Ouch! Ooh! Eek!

He makes some sort of reference to the R&B artist Usher, about whom the writers know nothing, but couldn't avoid mentioning. It hurts, somehow. Oof! Argh! Argh! Argh!

He ushers you into a whole new world of pain. Hopefully he won't expect you to tip him. Ow! Ooh! Eek! Ow!

Critical Hit Message:

He trips over his shoelaces and you witness the fall of the house's usher. Unfortunately, he lands right on top of you, knocking the wind out of you. Ouch! Ow! Eek! Oof!

Miss Message(s):

He attempts to usher his fist into the side of your head, but you point out the "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging on your ear. Where did that come from?

He politely shows you to a chair, but you tell him you prefer to stand.

He starts to make some kind of completely unnecessary musical reference, but you aren't having any of that nonsense.

He tries to usher you into a whole new world of pain, but you've got other horizons to pursue.

Fumble Message:

He trips over his shoelaces, and you witness the fall of the house's usher. It was inevitable, really. I mean, basically he's only here to make that joke possible. (FUMBLE!)
