Combat Messages

• Regular messages:

  <name> honks loudly (and soullessly), and lays a robotic egg. The egg rolls over to your opponent, then shoots a series of tiny darts... at you. Look like you've been poached.

  You lose X hit points.

  <name> honks loudly (and soullessly), and lays a robotic egg. The egg extrudes poison-tipped spines and buries itself in your opponent. It turns green and looks sickly; looks like that poison went over hard.

  Monster attack power reduced by X

  Monster defense reduced by X

  <name> honks loudly (and soullessly), and lays a robotic egg. A spool of gauze pops out of the egg and soothingly winds its way around your wounds. You feel coddled by the egg.

  You gain X hit points.

  <name> honks loudly (and soullessly), and lays a robotic egg. The egg shoots a matter-altering ray that rearranges your opponent's parts in various entertaining ways, leaving him thoroughly scrambled and dealing X damage worth of internal injuries.

  <name> honks loudly (and soullessly), and lays a robotic egg. The egg rolls over to your opponent and explodes with a brilliant flash of light. Your opponents look dazed and confused -- I guess that egg was sunny-side up.

• At the end of combat (10% chance):

  Apparently not realizing that the fight is over, <name> lays another robotic egg. Since there's no enemy nearby, the egg doesn't do anything, so you grab it and stuff it in your sack.

  You acquire an item: robotronic egg

• Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:

  Just as your opponent is about to attack, <name> distracts <him> with a sudden deafening honk. From about six inches above your ears. Thanks, <name>. Thanks a lot.

• Bjornified in the Buddy Bjorn:

  <name> hops out of the Buddy Bjorn and chases your opponent around for a while, beating its wings and honking loudly.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  <name>'s optical sensor blinks on and off under the Tam O'Shanter.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <name> does the Funky Chicken around the maypole.

• With wax lips equipped:

  <name>'s wax-lip smile reminds you of that joke about the duck saying "put it on my bill."

Arena Messages

• When entered in Hide and Seek:

  Robogeese aren't very good at hide and seek, since their servo motors whine whenever they move.

Notes

• The Robogoose has a 1/3 chance of acting each round, with each of its actions being equally likely.
  • coddled: Restores 2*(Weight+4 + 1d4) +1 HP
  • over hard: Delevels (Weight+4)/3 levels (both by the same amount)
  • poached: Does (Weight+4)/2-1 to (Weight+4)/2+1 in damage
  • scrambled: Does 2*(Weight+2+1d4) in damage
  • sunny-side up: Stuns for one round
• The Robogoose has a 12% chance of dropping an egg at the end of combat.

References

• The first line of this familiar's haiku refers to male geese, otherwise known as "ganders".
