Combat Messages

Combat Messages

• The heading is already provided for you from the template.
• Bullet all messages.
• First list normal combat messages, then with the Lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped, and so on with the Mr. Store equipment, in that order.
  • Use <name> and <him/her/it> in place of your familiar's name and the monster's pronoun, respectively.

*Regular message(s):
**<name> bites <him/her/it> for X damage.
**<name> attempts to bite <him/her/it>, but misses.

*With [[lucky Tam O'Shanter]] equipped:
:<name> finds your slain foe's wallet stuck between its vicious fangs.

*With [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped:
:<name> gnashes his sabre-teeth at the maypole. I guess that's the way limes dance.

*With [[wax lips]] equipped:
:<name> grins and almost loses his wax lips (they don't fit well over the sabre teeth, you see).

yields:

• Regular message(s):
  • <name> bites <him/her/it> for X damage.

Arena Messages

Enter special arena messages here, particularly the messages for this familiar's weak/strong events, if applicable:

*When entered in a Scavenger Hunt:
:<name> has no eyes, and so is not exactly the best choice for this event. 

yields:

<name> has no eyes, and so is not exactly the best choice for this event.

Other Information

I think we've already covered how to list Notes, See Also, or References sections (in that order).
