 You're fighting an industrious construct

You step through the shimmering portal and find yourself in a long, dimly-lit hallway. You pick a direction and start walking. And walking. And walking... and walking... And the hallway remains the same. Long, dimly-lit, and nearly featureless.

Just when you think this is the single most boring hallway you've ever encountered, a section of the wall behind you slides open with a low hum. A strange construct hovers out into the hallway and begins polishing the floor with a wide brush attached to its underside. Grateful for the sudden increase in visual variety, you watch it clean, fascinated, until it swings its sensor-apparatus toward you and bellows "PULA KROZAK NOGACHA. FUCHANOKCHA CHA-BEZEVEHO LAKUZ," as it advances on you.

Hit Message(s):

It bowls you over and gives your <groin> a thorough polishing.

Its whirling brush kicks up a tiny pebble from the ground and whips it into your <groin> at a painful velocity.

Critical Hit Message:

"CHASOM BEZEVEHO ZEVE NOBUFU," bellows the construct. It glides toward you, knocks you down, and polishes a path from your throat to your skull and then moves on to your elbow.

Miss Message(s):

It glides toward you, brush spinning, but gets distracted at the last minute by a speck of dirt further down the hall.

"TASOM KUZGA NOGACHA ZAK TABUFU BEZEVEHO ZEVE. TAHOSOM," it bellows, as it fires a beam of energy at you. You duck out of the way, and the only harm you suffer is a singed eyelash.

It rushes at you, trying to buff you to a mirror sheen, but you brush some dirt from your shoulder onto the floor to distract it. And since you're feelin' like a pimp, it works!

Fumble Message:

"ZAKNO CHAZEVE GAKRONO HOSOMNO. NILA FUCHANO," it bellows, before leaning against the wall and doing nothing for several minutes. (FUMBLE!)
