 You're fighting the Hypnotist of Hey Deze

Near the Gate, you are accosted by a hypnotist. A Hypnotist of Hey Deze, to be precise.

He's never had a pocketwatch, and he's never counted backwards, but he looks like he has beaten up quite a few adventurers in his day, and it seems that you're next on his list. Y'know, his, uhh, list of adventurers. To beat up.

Hit Message(s):

He hyp-mo-tizes you. You cluck like a chicken and quack like a duck. Then you throw yourself off a cliff like a lemming. Ooh! Eek! Oof!

He stares deep in your eyes with his spiraling eyeballs. The spiraling shapes make you go insane. Ooh! Oof! Ooh! Argh!

Critical Hit Message:

not known

Miss Message(s):

He tries to hyp-mo-tize you in the <eye>, but misses.

He tries to hyp-mo-tize you, but only succeeds in hypnotizing you, which isn't nearly as effective.

He accidentally hypnotizes himself. You wait around for a few minutes, get bored, and snap your fingers three times to bring him out of it.

He stares deep in your eyes with his spiraling eyeballs. Turns out, though, their spiraling shapes are frauds and fakes.
