watertight seal You're fighting a watertight seal

You light the candle and speak the ancient words. All at once, a globe of water 30 feet in diameter slams into existence with you at its center. You manage to take a breath before you're submerged completely, but then you exhale half of a breath in surprise as you see the form of a massive, sleek seal swimming toward you, its glowing red eyes fixed on yours.

Then you sneeze, which releases another eighth of a breath (talk about bad timing!) You recover and ready your weapon, vowing that you fill fight this Infernal beast with every last three eighths of a breath in your body.

Hit Message(s):

It swats you with a flipper. Oh well. Better to be flipped on than flipped off, I suppose. Ooh! Ow! Ouch! Ugh!

It swims past you and clobbers you upside the head with its muscular tail. You hate it when you're the victim of a swim-by tailing. Ugh! Ouch! Oof! Ugh!

It opens a fold of its skin to unveil a massive hidden tusk, which it then gores your skull with. No fair! Eek! Ow! Argh! Ugh!

Critical Hit Message:

It swallows you whole, and you sustain a tremendous amount of damage as you undergo the long and arduous process of being digested. It'd be boring, if it wasn't so painful. Ow! Eek! Eek! Ow!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to swat you with a flipper, but you never really cared for that show.

It tries to clobber you with its tail, but you deftly dodge. You'll have to remember to tell your grandchildren about this.

It tries to reveal a hidden tusk, but accidentally opens the wrong fold of skin and reveals a hidden... well, let's not go into too much detail.

Fumble Message:

It tries to swallow you, but remembers at the last moment that it can't actually swallow anything larger than plankton and krill. Which you are. Larger than. (FUMBLE!)


After Combat
You acquire an item: hyperinflated seal lung (100% chance)*

Notes

  • Summoned by figurine of a sleek seal or (sometimes) depleted uranium seal figurine.
  • If you don't defeat this seal in under three rounds of combat (and aren't able to breathe underwater), you start losing large numbers of HP, which will make you lose the fight even if the watertight seal should have been defeated:
    You're out of air -- you really need to get this fight over with!
    HPYou lose 40−60% of your maximum hit points.
  • Interestingly, the hyperinflated seal lung is pickpocketable.
