Mer-kin miner You're fighting a Mer-kin miner

This Mer-kin has been tasked with removing useful ores from the rocky sea-bed, to be crafted into tools and weapons. This is an important task -- you certainly wouldn't refer to it as 'lesser', or 'trivial', or 'negligible', or 'inconsequential', or...

Hit Message(s):

He quickly mines some ore, smelts it, forges it into a sharp hooked spear, and stabs you in the <foot> with it. Argh! Argh! Ooh! Ooh! Argh!

You get bashed in the head with a metal ingot. The Mer-kin dealt the blow, so I guess he smelted the ore too. Eek! Oof! Ooh! Ow! Eek!

He discovers a rich mineral vein to extract from your <foot>. Argh! Oof! Ow! Argh! Eek!

Critical Hit Message:

The miner takes a moment to pick your brains. Literally. Eek! Ouch! Ow! Eek! Oof!

Miss Message(s):

He starts to bash you with a metal ingot, but you say "What am I, an anvil? Ha ha ha, get it? Anvil?" Your opponent looks perplexed.

He starts to mine your <foot> for ore, but you inform him that he doesn't really want what he'll find in there.

He quickly mines some ore, smelts it, and tries to forge it into a spear to stab you with, but he can't get a proper edge on the blade and gives up in a huff. Temper, temper.

Fumble Message:

The miner gets distracted and starts to pick his nose, but catches himself and stops before he does any damage. (FUMBLE!)


After Combat
You gain 160-240 Meat (average: 200, stdev: 16.73)*
You acquire an item: Mer-kin foodbucket (5% chance)*
You acquire an item: Mer-kin digpick (40% or 10% chance)*
