Combat Messages

• Regular messages:
  • <name> bleeps, "MEDICAL SYSTEMS ACTIVATED," and fires a dart into your neck. You suddenly feel much better. You gain X hit points. You gain X Mana Points.
  • <name> shambles up to your opponent with a "Graaaaagh," and bites him on the head. He seems a little dazed by the experience.
  • You hear a faint howling of wind, and <name> suddenly appears out of the shadows, holding your opponent's meat pouch. You gain X Meat.
  • <name> shouts "Yarrrr!" and battens your opponent's hatches for him. Violently. For X damage.
  • <name> does a pelvic thrust at your opponent. A piece of toast ricochets off his head, momentarily stunning him (and/or driving him insa-a-a-a-ane.) You acquire an item: toast

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:
  

<name> ravages your slain foe in a variety of ways, and discovers some extra meat.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:
  

<name> does a stealthy, jerky, shambling jig around the maypole.

• With wax lips equipped:
  

<name> grins at you with the wax lips stuck to the outside of his mask. The effect is, on the whole, disturbing.

Notes

• This familiar can be created by players, however (according to Jick) it is "really difficult" to construct.
• Four ninja pirate zombie robots were given to balam (#31632), TedPro (#28312), Nytmare (#56672) and Vida Londres (#9035) to thank them for their work in running the LARP at KoLCon 2.

References

• The item's name refers to to the Ninjapiratezombierobot clan.
• Some say that Monkey Ninja Pirate Robot is to blame, but balam, who named the clan, claims this is not so.
• The pelvic thrust message in combat refers to the song "The Time Warp", from the movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". The toast derives from the ritual of throwing toast during certain screenings of the film.
• The message given when the robotic aspect of the familiar activates is possibly drawing from the British comedy series Look Around You, where in one episode a medical robot delivers anesthesia to a patient via a blowdart to the neck.
• The description of the familiar dancing around the miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped may be based on the "Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot Dance" made up by Jick and Skipperic. You can watch Jick performing it here.
• The message given from firing a piece of toast could be a reference to the Metallica song, "Crash Course in Brain Surgery"
