writing desk You're fighting a writing desk

In the Library, you come across one of Lord Spookyraven's writing desks. How did Lord Spookyraven like his writing desk? He liked it just fine, thanks for asking!

Some of the ancient forbidden unspeakable evil that he studied must've rubbed off on this desk, though, because it's moving, growling, and trying to bite you in a way that ordinary writing desks hardly ever do.

Hit Message(s):

An inkwell flies out of one of the desk's drawers and hits you in the <kidney>. Pain and stain! A double whammy. Ow! Oof! Eek! Oof!

It opens one of its drawers really quickly and hits you in the <kidney>. Oof! Ugh! Argh! Oof!

It tramples you with its four hard wooden legs. Argh! Ow! Ouch! Ouch!

Critical Hit Message:

A fountain pen flies out of one of the desk's drawers and hits you right in the eye. Here's jagged metal in your eye! Oof! Ooh! Ouch! Ugh!

Miss Message(s):

One of the desk's drawers open, and the stationery it contains becomes decidedly mobile as it rises and whirls toward you. You avoid a serious papercut by the narrowest of margins.

One of its drawers opens, and a handful of quill pens flies at you, tips first. You nimbly dance out of the way, leaving the desk's feathers ruffled.

It tries to crush you against a bookshelf, but you grab a nearby ladder and swing out of the way. Stylish!

Fumble Message:

The desk rocks back and forth on its wooden legs for a while, but then just falls over. Huh.
