Casagnova Gnome

From TheKolWiki

• At the end of combat:

  <name> dances the bossa-gnova, tipping you a wignk as he finishes with a flourish.

  <name> winks as he does the carioca. It's gnot a foxtrot or a polka, but it gets the job dogne.

  <name> dances the merigngue, tossing you a wink as he swivels his hips. Er, chin. I think.

  <name> does a solo tagngo. It looks pretty weird, but tagngos always bring cash. Or meat, in this case.

  <name> does a flamegnco turn and stomp, winking over the rose he's holding in his teeth. Where'd he get that thing?

  <name> can't cogntrol himself any longer, and does the cognga. He gives you a wink as you feel the rhythm of the music gettigng stronger.

  <name> does a little salsa dagngcing, winking suggestively as he swivels his hips. Er, chin. ¡Caliegnte!

  <name> trips the light fagndagngo, tossing you a wink as he pirouettes.

  <name> baila su cuerpo alegría, Macaregna, winking to show he's being irognic.

  <name> doffs the Tam O'Shagnter and bows with a flourish, clickigng his heels.
