Combat Messages
  • Regular message:
<name> notices you're bleeding, nearly faints at the sight, then bandages you with a strip torn from his ruffly sleeves.
HPYou gain some hit points.
<name> touches you with one exquisitely-manicured claw. The built-up static electricity in his wool suit shocks you.
MPYou gain some Mana Points.
<name> does a mincing two-step, swinging his tail like a cane. Though it's utterly lacking in vim and verve, you applaud politely.
<name> winks underneath his Tam O'Shanter. Somehow he's found a matching scarf, so he's impeccably dressed as always.
<name> does a little country lion dancing around the maypole. Don't hit me.
<name>'s fangs poke through the wax lips, making him lisp even more than usual.

Arena Messages

  • When entered in an Ultimate Cage Match:
<name> doesn't want to get his nice clothes dirty. He's a dancer, not a fighter.
