You're fighting a black puddingJust as you're about to eat your black pudding, it leaps out of your hand and attacks you. Look on the bright side -- at least now you won't have to try and choke it down. I mean, you could still try and choke it, but it doesn't appear to have a windpipe.
Hit Message(s):
It slaps you in the face with a greasy black pseudopod. Ouch! Ugh! Oof! Ooh! Ouch! Oof! (sleaze damage)
It rolls across your foot, jamming several of your toes. Eek! Ow! Ow! Ooh! Ow! Argh!
It pops you in the thigh with a pseudopod. Man, pudding pops suck! Ugh! Ow! Ouch! Eek! Eek! Ow!
It surges up your body and onto your face. Some of it gets in your mouth. Eek! Eek! Oof! Eek! Ooh! Ugh! (sleaze damage)
It flows up and around your feet, pulling until you fall over into it with a greasy splash. You choke as black pudding fills your mouth, nose, sinuses, and eustachian ducts. Ick. Ouch! Ouch! Eek! Ouch! Ouch! Ooh! (sleaze damage)
It tries to smack you in the <head> with a greasy black pseudopod, but misses.
It tries to engulf you, but it's not big enough to do the job properly.
It tries to hit you, but misses. I guess the proof wasn't in the pudding. The... uh... proof that it was going to hit you.
It tries to pop you in the <head>, but its pudding pops are weak.
It surges toward you, but starts to congeal and stiffen up. It haltingly drags itself to a nearby campfire to regain its proper viscosity. (FUMBLE!)
