Combat Messages

• At the end of combat:
  • <name> squints his eyes, sways back and forth, and sings the following verse:

  It's half-past noon on a Caturday

  Time for a meow serenade

  There's a vagrant making eyes at me

  A flirtation I'll try to dissuade.

  He says, "cat, can you sing me a hobo song? I can't bring to mind the whole tune,

  But it's more than just bawdy, it's really quite naughty

  And maybe somewhat picayune."

  • <name> squints his eyes, sways back and forth, and sings the following verse:

  Oh, la di da, da di da da

  La da da di da, da da dum.

  • <name> squints his eyes, sways back and forth, and sings the following verse:

  I'll sing you a song, I'm the piano cat

  I'll sing you a song right now

  'Cause you look like you could use a melody

  So sit back and hear me meow.

  • <name> squints his eyes, sways back and forth, and sings the following verse:

  Now Boris the Bold was a friend of mine,

  He'd lift my piano for me

  And he loved to tell jokes while he beat up on folks

  In the dungeon where he'd hide his key.

  • <name> squints his eyes, sways back and forth, and sings the following verse:

  Now Pete was as sneaky as he could be

  He reveled in foul crudity

  For he thought it was moxious to make odors noxious

  And then cast the blame upon me!

  • <name> squints his eyes, sways back and forth, and sings the following verse:

  And the seal clubber's fighting Protagonists

  On his way to the Hole in the Sky

  And the Sauceror's trying to beat Ed Undying

  But Ed's still frustratingly spry.

  • <name> squints his eyes, sways back and forth, and sings the following verse:

  Now Jarlsberg was freakishly mystical

  And also insane as a bat

  I met him one morning, and with little warning

  He transformed me into a cat.

  • <name> squints his eyes, sways back and forth, and sings the following verse:

  And my piano, it sounds like a carnivore

  And my paws reek of catnip and mice

  And they tip me some meat, and they tell me I'm sweet,

  But they wish I would be more concise.

• Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:

  <name> says, "no wonder John at the bar gives me drinks for free; who would pay for something like this? If you want it, you can have it," and hands you a cocktail.
