Combat Messages

• Regular Message:

<name> shouts "Dinnae fash yersel' about this schemie, I can handle it!" and headbutts your opponent for x damage. (where x may be equal up to weight)

<name> shouts "Oh, waily waily waily! You'll ne'er win this fight wi'oot me helpin' ye!" and pummels your enemy for X damage. (X appears to be equal to weight)

<name> shouts "Oi, ye bunch o' jobbies! How's aboot a face full of heid, ye scunner!" and headbutts your enemy for X damage.

<name> does a high-stepping highland dance. You avert your eyes as his kilt comes dangerously close to his waist level.

<name> throws his arms over his head and does a little tip-toe ballet. You'd laugh, but you like having all your bones intact.

<name> does some combination of a jig and a reel. He looks mainly like a guy in an invisible mosh pit.

<name> looks at you, horrified. "Crivens, mate!" he says. "You're no' tryin' to battle completely sober, are ye? Have a heidfull o' this!" He tosses you a bottle of absinthe.

You acquire an item: tiny bottle of absinthe (~2% chance)*

Note: The Green Pixie doesn't seem to drop absinthe if you're already under the Absinthe-Minded effect.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

<name> winks at you from under the Tam O'Shanter, pleased that it's the same tartan as his kilt.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

<name> does a little riverdance around the maypole, periodically head-butting it for good measure.

• With wax lips equipped:

<name> says "Crivens! I can barely breathe wi' these thingies on!" from under the wax lips.

Arena Messages

The general green pixie approach to an obstacle is to headbutt it until it ceases to become an obstacle, which isn't an optimal strategy here.
