hung-over half-orc hobo You're fighting a hung-over half-orc hobo

In the Sleazy Back Alley, you trip over a hungover half-orc hobo. He grabs his head in pain, staggers to his feet, and glares at you with two blood-shot eyes. Looks like it's time to get ill.

Actually, considering the ground behind him, it looks like he beat you there.

Hit Message(s):

He smacks you upside the <face> with a bottle of Mad Train Wine. Now there's too much blood in your broken-glass-stream. Ugh! (stench damage)

He pelts you with a handful of spare change. Ooh! (stench damage)
You gain 3−4 Meat
Critical Hit Message:

He knocks you out with his bottle of Mad Train. When you wake up, you feel like you got a visit from the Bruise Fairy. He stands in front of you, grinning, then smacks you again. Ooh! (stench damage)

Miss Message(s):

He starts to hit you with his bottle of Mad Train, but his headache causes his vision to blur, and he misses.

He moans and clutches his head instead of attacking you. You yell at him for a minute, just to add insult to lack of injury.

He tries to throw spare change at you, but you block it with a spare tire you find in the alley.

Fumble Message:

He raises his arms and an overpowering odor fills the alley. Before it can overpower you, though, a freak thunderstorm washes him clean. He looks down at his un-grimed body and screams. (FUMBLE!)


After Combat
You acquire an item: dirty hobo gloves (31.4% chance)*
You acquire an item: Mad Train wine (60.1% chance)*
You acquire an item: moxie weed (15.3% chance)*
You acquire an item: hobo gristle (100% chance)*
You gain 1-3 <substat>.

Occurs at The Sleazy Back Alley.
