This swirling amorphous blob is actually the intersection of a higher-dimensional lifeform with our three-dimensional space. It's pretty horrifying, but from its point of view, you're probably not real pretty either. I mean, it can see inside your guts! Ew!

Hit Message(s):

not known

Critical Hit Message:

A hole tears in the fabric of space-time, and you get a brief glimpse of several of your alternate-dimension selves, all of whom are sexier and more successful than you. Eek! Argh! Oof! Ooh! Argh! Argh!

Miss Message(s):

It strangles you with a superstring, but fortunately you take all the damage in an alternate timeline.

It grabs your innards and gives them a squeeze. Fortunately it's not quite in phase at the time, but it still tickles. You giggle and rub your belly.

It thumps you on the head six years from now. Better mark your calendar, and have some aspirin handy.

It pokes viciously at where your foot would have been if it had had more than three dimensions.

Fumble Message:

It gets confused and kills an alternate-universe version of you. You get kind of a weird feeling. (FUMBLE!)


After Combat
