You're fighting a Bowling CricketBy jiminy, this is one big, imposing cricket. It's also holding a bowling ball, which makes it all the more dangerous. Beating him might be a sticky wicket. Maybe you can scare him off somehow...
Hit Message(s):
It leaps forward and lands on you with one if its giant claws. Oof! Ooh! Ooh! Oof! Ugh! Oof! Eek! Ugh! Ugh! Ooh!
It tosses its bowling ball at you, hitting you square in the <knee>. Ow! Ugh! Oof! Ouch! Oof! Ugh! Ugh! Ow! Ow! Oof!
It spits an adventurer-size gob of grasshopper juice at you. Gah! Ouch! Oof! Oof! Oof! Ouch! Eek! Argh! Eek! Ow! Ooh!
|
| You break open the sonar-in-a-biscuit. As sonar squeaks echo off the walls, the grasshopper looks nervously around for the giant bat that's about to eat it. It leaps out the window and flies away. Looks like this grasshopper has much to learn. |
| You gain 40 <substat>. |
Occurs at The Sorceress' Tower (The Stairs).
