 You're fighting a pygmy assault squad

This group of pygmies has formed a human pyramid, the better to rain death down upon you. Except, individually they're pretty short and the pyramid only stacks up to about your height, so it's more like 'rain death across at you'.

Hit Message(s):

The pygmies all throw spears at you. Your new tribal name is "Bleeds Like Stuck Pig". Oof! Oof! Argh! Oof!

A pygmy on the bottom of the pyramid kicks you in the shins. Oof! Argh! Eek! Ouch!

The topmost pygmy breathes fire, neatly roasting you. Mmm, you smell delicious. Er, I mean, Argh! Ouch! Ow! Ouch! (hot damage)

Critical Hit Message:

The pygmies start a loud war chant, then pelt you with a barrage of spears and fire. It's an experience you chant forget. (Sorry.) Argh! Ow! Eek! Oof! Ugh!

Miss Message(s):

The pygmies all throw spears at you, creating a neat you-shaped outline on a nearby tree.

A pygmy near the top of the pyramid tries to punch you, but you take a step back and he can't reach.

The topmost pygmy breathes fire at you, but you remember to stop, drop, and roll.

Fumble Message:

The pygmies start a loud war chant, but you kick one of the bottom ones and they all tumble to the ground. (FUMBLE!)

References
