 You're fighting a giant octopus

Krakrox secured the grappling hook on the edge of the well, and carefully lowered himself down. The small vertical tunnel soon opened out into the cavernous chamber of an underground lake, the roof supported with a ring of stone pillars. The rope was not nearly long enough to reach the surface of the water, and Krakrox paused momentarily to judge the risk of a dive.

And then a gigantic octopus tentacle whips up out of the lake and wraps around your torso.

Hit Message(s):

The octopus grabs your leg and pulls you under the waglurb blub blurble glurgle glub! Ugh! Ouch! Ow!

Critical Hit Message:

The octopus sprays you in the face with hot sticky black ink. This is highly inconvenient, not to mention disgusting.

You acquire an effect: Temporary Blindness (duration: 10 Adventures)

Miss Message(s):

The octopus tries to bite your leg, but with all the thrashing around it gets confused and bites one of its own. To be fair, it was a four-in-five chance.

Fumble Message:

Notes

• After defeating the octopus combat terminates with the message:

Coughing and gasping for breath, you make your way out of the city to let your clothes and equipment dry before continuing on your quest.

• Defeating this monster allows you to cross the lake in Shore of an Underground Lake.
