Combat Messages

• Regular messages:

  <name> rants about his plans to take over the world, but since his mouth is full of your opponent, you can't understand him. (Incidentally, he does X damage.)

  <name> bites your opponent for X damage. "What's eatin' you, Chief?" he chortles.

  With a hollow *clonk*, <name> headbutts your foe for X damage.

  "What a perfectly good waste of arms and legs, or analogues thereof," <name> sneers at your opponent, before biting them for X damage.

  <name> lays into your opponent with a string of elaborate curses and put-downs, dealing X damage to their ego.

• After combat:

  <name> searches around for some undead babes to leer at. He's very good at leering.

  <name> makes a few oblique references to the fact that the two of you have been friends for thousands of years, even though you're pretty sure that's not actually the case.

  <name> hums a few snatches of old pirate sea shanties.

  <name> rants a little about all the changes he'll make when he rules the world. You refrain from asking how he intends to do that without any arms.

  "Alas, poor <name>..."

  "What? I'm right here."

  "Oh, sorry."
