 You're fighting a menacing thug

You are interrupted by a man who appears to have been built entirely out of muscle and scars, who blocks your path and looks you up and down.

"Hey, you. You <Player Name>?" He squints at you, then at a crumpled piece of paper. "Yeah, dat's you all right."

"What do you want?"

"Some guy inna bar gave me a lotta meat ta beat nine kindsa hell outta ya. You'll haveta keep track of that yerself though, I don't count so good."

"Oh yeah?" you sneer, readying your weapon. "You and what army?"

"I don't got no army, but I got my buddies Lead-pipe Eddie and Jimmy the Neckbreaker," he says as two more nearly-identical thugs step out of the shadows and grin at you. "Howzat?"

"That'll do just fine," you gulp.

Hit Message(s):

"Thug", it turns out, is the sound of a massive fist connecting with your face. Ooh! Argh! Argh!

You offer the thug some meat to not beat you up, but he's the kind of loyal thug that stays bought. Ooh! Ugh! Ouch!

A thug picks you up by your ankles and thumps your head against the ground a few times. Ouch! Ugh! Ouch!

Critical Hit Message:

Ironically, it turns out that Jimmy the Neckbreaker is the guy with the lead pipe, and Lead-pipe Eddie is the guy who breaks necks. Huh. Ouch! Oof! Argh!

Miss Message(s):

One of the thugs pops his neck menacingly. Why do all thugs do that?

The thug tries to bash your brains out, but you outbrain him.

He regales you with a story about thug life. It's kind of entertaining.

A thug lunges at you, but about as quickly as a glacier made of meat, and you step out of the way.

The thugs take a quick break for Gatorade and protein shakes. They don't offer you any, the jerks.

One of the thugs takes a moment to crack his knuckles loudly and elaborately. Eurgh.

You manage to avoid having a kind of hell beaten out of you. Why you want so badly to keep it in there, I don't know.

Me and My Nemesis
You handily dispatched some thugs who were trying to collect on your bounty, but something tells you they won't be the last ones to try.
