They kind of blandly stomp you into a mudhole. Yawn. I mean, Ow. Ugh! Ugh!
They smack you around a little. And then a little more. Ow! Ugh!
They all swarm around you, bouncing excitedly up and down. Then they start bouncing up and down on top of you. You feel irritated, random, and in intense pain. Argh! Ugh! Argh! Argh!
They blandly and blindly attack, but you distractedly step to the side.
They try and hit you, but for some reason just stand about ten feet away and make hitting motions.
They start to attack again, but are stopped by a series of unfortunate events. Most of which are far too unfortunate to describe. Sorry about that. (FUMBLE!)
