You're fighting Father McGruber"What in God's name is going on here?"
You turn around to find yourself confronted by a white-haired priest in his pajamas, a pink satin dressing-gown, and for some reason, his clerical collar. (Although I guess if he wasn't wearing the collar, how would you know he was a priest?)
"The devil is amongst us," he growls, looking you up and down.
"Who the heck are you?"
"I kick ass for the Lord!" he shouts, aiming a flying jump-kick at your head.
"Lord Spookyraven?" you ask, but then have to dodge before you get the answer.
Hit Message(s):
He prays the rosary at you, and when that proves ineffective, throttles you with it instead. Oof! Oof! Argh!
A guy with a lawnmower strapped to his chest wanders by, effortlessly shredding your <bung>. Eek! Ouch! Ow!
He makes the sign of the cross at you. When that doesn't work, he pokes your eyes with the two fingers he was crossing with. Ooh! Ow! Ooh!
He knocks you flat on your back with a roundhouse kick, then asks forgiveness for his violent act. Eek! Ugh! Oof!
He swings an incense censer at you and it slams into your foot, pouring burning incense on you, leaving you incensed. Oof! Ouch! Oof! (hot damage)
He pulls out a little bejeweled sphere with a cross on top of it, counts "One, two, five!" and hurls it at you. It explodes on impact, taking a huge chunk of your <solar plexus> with it. Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
He prays for your fallen soul.
A zombie baby sneaks up behind the Father and starts gnawing on his leg. He's too distracted to hit you this round.
A guy with a lawnmower strapped to his chest wanders in between you and the Father. You stay well clear of the blades.
He makes the sign of the cross at you. It takes some effort and coordination, but you make the sign of the wounded awk back at him.
He swings an incense censer at you, and is incensed when he misses.
His flying kick misses and he lands on his back. He says a few words that gentlemen of his profession probably ought not say. (FUMBLE!)
 | You acquire an item: hunter brain (100% chance)* |
Occurs after reaching level 5 on a Zombie Slayer path.
