 You're fighting a giant skeelton

You poke the bones, and leap back in surprise (well, not really surprise) as it rises up and reveals itself to be not just a haphazard pile, but a resting giant skeelton. It lumbers toward you with something that might well be malice in its lack of eyes.

Hit Message(s):

It kicks you with a multitude of phalanges. A Multitude of Phalanges was, by the way, my favorite 80's band. Eek! Ooh! Eek! (spooky damage)

It slashes you with multiple ulnas and several radiuses. Radii? Radishes? Ow! Ouch! Ouch! (spooky damage)

It hits you with a hip bone. You feel like such a square. Ow! Ugh! Ouch! Ooh! (spooky damage)

It hits you with its tibia and its fibula. You laugh a little at the names, then cry a little at the bruises. Eek! Eek! Ooh! Ow! (spooky damage)

Critical Hit Message:

It spreads out its huge, multi-jointed arms and encircles you. "Aww," you think. "It just wanted a hug." But you revise that opinion when your ribs start cracking. Oof! Oof! Argh! Eek! Ooh! Ooh! Oof! (spooky damage)

Miss Message(s):

It tries to kick you with its metatarsals, but you tell him you're not into getting metaphysical.

It tries to slash you with multiple ulnas and radiuses, but stops because it can't figure out how to pluralize 'radius.'

He hits you with a hip bone, but it just makes you feel groovier.

It tries to hit you with its tibia and fibula, but giggles too hard at the way those words sound to connect.

Fumble Message:

It spreads its multiple-elbowed arms wide and advances toward you. When it walks between two pillars, though, both arms snap off at the second elbow. It stops, embarrassed, and has to pick them up before it can continue. (FUMBLE!)

Notes

• The combat ends with a message that closes the Nook: "As the skeelton collapses in a jumbled pile of bones, the Evilometer emits a single very loud beep."

References

• The phalanges attack probably refers to the 80s band A Flock of Seagulls.
• Another attack refers to the Huey Lewis & The News song "Hip to Be Square."
• The metaphysical message refers to the Olivia Newton-John hit "Physical."
• The hip bone attack refers to the fact that "hip" is also a slang term with similar connotations to "groovy."
