As you enter the Haunted Bedroom, you hear a growl from behind a nearby nightstand. You peek behind the nightstand, and see another nightstand.

This one is different from the first one, though, in that it is growling, pawing the floor with its mahogany legs, and jumping toward you.

Hit Message(s):

The nightstand slides across the floor toward you at high speed, causing you to passively stub your toe. Argh! Ugh! Ow! Ouch! Ouch! Eek!

One of the drawers pops out and hits you in the <eye>. Oof! Argh! Eek! Ow! Oof! Ow!

Critical Hit Message:

The nightstand rubs its unfinished back against you, giving you splinters in your <eye>, <eye>, and <eye>. Argh! Argh! Argh! Ugh! Ooh!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to hit you with a drawer, but the drawer slides off of the track. Stupid cheap Swedish nightstand.

The nightstand tries to hit you with its legs, but your slip between them. It's not as sexy as it sounds, believe me.

The nightstand slides across the floor toward you, but you leap onto the top of another nightstand and avoid the collision.

Fumble Message:

The nightstand slides across the floor toward you at high speed, but trips over a carpet and falls drawers-first on the floor. Fragments of particle-board fly everywhere. (FUMBLE!)


After Combat
You acquire an item: old coin purse
You acquire an item: old leather wallet

Occurs in The Haunted Bedroom, either as a random combat encounter or as the result of noncombat encounters.

References

  • "Stupid cheap Swedish nightstand." is a reference to the furniture store Ikea. Ikea is a Swedish brand, famed for its low prices and unassembled items. Jick apparently feels the furniture is low-quality, also.
