 You're fighting a chalkdust wraith

As you approach one of the tables in the Haunted Billiards Room, you're abruptly stopped by the sight of what appears to be a bluish-white cloud of pure malevolence. It drifts toward you, ready to dry you up and blow you away.

Hit Message(s):

It spouts a cloud of chalkdust into your eye. It stings! Ooh! Ow! Ouch! Argh!

It envelops you and pours part of itself down your windpipe. You cough, cough, cough, then cough. Ow! Ugh! Ugh! Argh!

It sends tendrils of chalk into your nostrils, causing you to sneeze violently. Ouch! Argh! Oof! Ow!

Critical Hit Message:

It begins spinning, faster and faster, until it's a veritable chalk tornado. Then it treats you like a veritable chalk trailer park. Oof! Argh! Eek! Argh!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to spout a cloud of chalkdust into your eye, but your blinking skills save the day.

It tries to envelop and suffocate you, but you can hold your breath for a long, long time.

It tries to send tendrils of chalk into your nostrils, but you quickly start breathing in the opposite direction.

Fumble Message:

It drifts toward you, but accidentally falls through a crack in the floor. How embarrassing! (FUMBLE!)

• The line that you "can hold your breath for a long, long time" is a quote from the movie Creepshow, in which a a lover is buried up to his neck in sand at low tide by a jealous husband.
