Combat Messages

• After combat in Dreadsylvania:

  <Name> chirps cheerfully as her environmental sensors take in Dreadsylvanian air. She flits and flutters through the sky like she's dancing.

  <Name> dances from treetop to treetop, chirping old Dreadsylvanian folk tunes. She seems glad to be home.

  <Name> flits through the air and chirps happily, pleased to be in her home country.

  <Name> sings an ancient Dreadsylvanian folk song as she dances through the Dreadsylvanian air (which is better than the air in nearby Derry).

  <Name> spots some familiar Dreadsylvanian landmarks with her cameras. She chirps happily and flutter-dances even harder.

  <Name>'s chirps echo off the distant Dreadsylvanian hills as she flits in circles around your head. It's like she's dancing in midair!

• After combat elsewhere:

  <Name> chirps a little chip-tune, and does a robotic dance to it.

  <Name> emits some robotic dubstep from her speakers and kicks her little legs to it.

  <Name> clicks her beak to a beat, makes her servos whine for melody, and dances to the song she's creating.

  <Name> modulates the whine from her servos to play a little tune, and flits around in the air, almost dancing.

  <Name> chirps as she hops back and forth from one tiny metal foot to the other. Hey, she can sing and dance!

  <Name> plays snippets of birdsong from around the Kingdom, remixing them into a techno song that she can bob her head to.

• Occasionally, after combat:

  A tiny hatch opens up on the underside of <Name>, and she lays a tiny clockwork egg!

  You acquire an item: intricate clockwork egg

• Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:

  <Name> chirps a chiptune that significantly improves your spirit within.

  You gain 5−10 Mana Points.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  <Name> ??

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <Name> does a combination of the Robot and the Rockin' Robin under the Maypole.

• With wax lips equipped:

  <Name> clicks her mechanical beak under the Wax Lips.

Notes

• You get the better item drop when you adventure in Dreadsylvania, even if you fight a wandering monster, such as one shot by a romantic arrow.
• Spading for the bonus is being done here.
