Spam Witch You're fighting a Spam Witch

You look into this seductive creature's eyes and feel as if she can make your sword longer, your bank account bigger, your waist smaller, and show you the secret habits of barnyard animals. You fight to resist her charms...

Hit Message(s):

She shows you a picture of her pet goat. "This is my goat, see?" she says. Dear god, the horror. Ouch! Ouch! Argh! Eek! Ow! (bad spelling damage)

She offers you a million meat (which she embezzled from the Council of Loathing) if you'll hit yourself in the head. You do. Ow! Oof! Ugh! Argh! (bad spelling damage)

She decides to forgo the scamming and just poke you in the <lower back> with her pointy hat. Ow! Oof! Eek! Ooh!

She turns you into a newt! You get better, but it's pretty painful. Ooh! Ow! Argh! Oof!

Critical Hit Message:

She scratches you with her nails while screeching "the chief fuciks the secretaryhave!" You don't know what that means, but you do know her voice hurts your ears, and her fingernails are really, really sharp. Ooh! Oof! Ooh! Argh!

Miss Message(s):

She tries to cloud your mind with interesting pictures, but you avert your eyes.

She tries to give you a virus, but you keep your distance.

She tries to poke you with her pointy hat, but fails.

She turns you into a newt, then offers you a career in newt pr0n. You turn her down, and quickly get better.

Fumble Message:

She once again tries to mesmerize you with her charms, but suddenly a great wall of fire springs up between the two of you. "Goodness, gracious!" you say. You don't know where the fire wall came from, but it seems to stop her cold. (FUMBLE!)

You gain 24−38 Meat (average: 30.3, stdev: 2.9)*
You acquire an item: 30669 scroll (32.0% chance)*
You acquire an item: Spam Witch sammich (51.4% chance)*
