You're fighting a VYKEA viking (male)This viking is so angry at you that he's chewing on his shield in a berserk fury. Or maybe he's angry at his shield? Or maybe he's just really really hungry? Watch out though -- if he's hungry enough to eat a wooden shield, he probably won't balk at eating an adventurer.
This viking warrior has braids in his long red beard, horns on his helmet, and a scowl on his face. He was probably born with that scowl. He might have been born with the beard and helmet as well.
This viking has opted for an extra-long braided mustache instead of a beard, and his helmet has wings instead of horns. The other vikings probably consider him a bit of a hipster. He does have one thing very much in common with them, though: he doesn't like you.
Near him you see a tall, dark bookshelf, filled with dusty and forbidding tomes. Specifically, they're forbidding you from staying alive and with your bones uncrushed.
Next to him looms a tall and forbidding bookcase, filled with all manner of evil tomes. And all the heaviest books are on the upper shelf, which is really dangerous.
Next to him there's a mahogany (actually mahogany-colored laminate) bookshelf, filled with dusty leatherbound tomes. They're probably written in terrible magical glyphs that drive you mad if you try to read them... or in Swedish, which amounts to the same thing.
Next to him you see a dishrack filled with garbage-encrusted dishes. Ugh. Aren't those things supposed to be for putting the dishes in after you've washed them?
Next to him you see a dishrack filled with, well, dishes. Gross, filth-covered dishes. Someone hasn't gotten around to the washing-up in weeks.
On the ground next to him is a bamboo-and-wire dishrack, filled with what could technically be called dishes, but you'd have to wash them like four times before you could risk actually eating off of them.
There's a cheap wooden dresser standing next to him, and by 'cheap' I mean 'tawdry'.
Next to him, there's a filthy, dirty wooden dresser. A filthy, dirty, bawdy, practically obscene wooden dresser.
There's a plywood-and-laminate dresser standing next to him, and you can tell just by looking at it and by the hopeless feeling in the pit of your stomach that it's filled with someone's dirty underwear.
There's a little endtable sitting next to him for some reason? I guess he was waiting a while and needed a place to set his coffee?
He has brought a little endtable, and if he has anything to say about it, it's going to be your end.
He seems to have brought a little endtable with him. Personally, if I were going to haul furniture around with me in this place, it'd be a chair, but to each his own, I guess.
He has a lamp, for some reason. And from the expression on his face, you're supposed to be intimidated by that. For some reason?
There's a lamp on the ground next to him. Where did he find an outlet to plug it in?
He has a lamp -- a lamp so bright, it kind of makes it harder to see. Which seems contrary to the purpose of a lamp.
Hit Message(s):
He bashes you with an iron hammer -- which is also a religious icon, so maybe he's blessing you? Doesn't feel like a blessing though. Ooh! Argh! Ooh!
He vows to sacrifice your leg bones to his god. Not your skull, because there won't be any of that left. Eek! Eek! Ooh!
With a roar, he smashes his hammer into the ground. This seems like an ineffective attack until the ice cracks and you fall into freezing water. Brrrrrrrrrrr. (cold damage)
He performs the rite of the Blood Eagle on you, which I don't have quite enough room to describe here but you can look it up on Wikipedia if you have a strong stomach. (CRITICAL HIT!) Argh! Ow! Argh!
He pauses, considering asking his god to smite you. Then he shrugs and decides to just do it himself.
He vows to sacrifice your leg bones to his god. Fortunately, those are the bones you use for dodging.
With a roar, he smashes his hammer into the ground. Since you aren't standing there, it doesn't accomplish much.
He bites the iron rim of his shield, and his tongue freezes to it. Boy does he look embarrassed! (FUMBLE!)
