Combat Messages

• During combat:

  <name> spits on your opponent. Yech.

• After combat:

  A smile crosses <name>'s serene countenance.

  <name> smiles at you, a knowing gleam in his eye.

  <name> regards you with a warm smile.

• Occasionally, after combat (up to 5 times per day):

  <name> looks deep into your eyes. "I see you are too preoccupied with the woes of this world," he says, "This gong will enable you to see things from a different perspective."

  You acquire an item: llama lama gong

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  The llama winks at you from beneath his hat, despite the fact that he is far beyond such mundane concerns as material wealth.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <name> progresses through several different incarnations of himself, each of which is in a different position around the maypole.

• With wax lips equipped:

  The garish smile of the wax lips conceal <name>'s far more subdued and enlightened actual smile.

Notes

• The llama spits about 20% of the time in combat, deleveling opponents from 1 to int(X/4) levels, where X is the weight of the llama.
• Much like the Green Pixie with tiny bottles of absinthe, the drop rate on gongs per day decreases for every additional gong you get. Exact spading is required.
• Equipping your llama with a zen motorcycle seems to increase the chance of gong drops.

References

• This familiar references both "llama", an animal, and "lama", a Tibetan Buddhist teacher.
• The maypole message refers to the Buddhist belief in reincarnation, specifically it likely refers to the concept of the Wheel of Life, or Bhavacakra, which symbolizes how beings reincarnate over and over again in various forms, each with their own limitations which lead them back around the wheel again unless one breaks free by attaining Nirvana.
