You're fighting a roller-skating MuseOne of the problems with building anything in Xanadu is that you're going to have to deal with the occasional roller-skating muse infestation. A bite from a muse produces a red, stinging welt on one's imagination, which if untreated can develop into a rash of rash ideas and actions.
Hit Message(s):
She says, "you have to believe we are magic," and pulls a rabbit out of your <solar plexus>. It hurts. Eek! Ouch!
She shouts, "let's get physical!" and punches you in the <head>. Ugh! Eek!
She skates toward you, wanting to be near you in Xanadu. Unfortunately, she skates right over your toe. Ooh! Ooh!
She summons some knights from Cydonia to beat the crap out of you. Ouch! Ugh!
She tells you, "you're the one that I want," but sadly, it turns out you're the one that she wants to punch in the <leg>. Ow! Oof!
She skates over and bites you. You suddenly get so many ideas in your head that you start scratching them in the dirt with your fingertips, until you wear down your fingerprints into little bloody nubbins. Ooh! Ooh! Ouch!
She can't seem to think of new ways to attack you. Muse, inspire thyself.
She says, "you have to believe we are magic," so you wow her with a few card tricks.
She tries to get physical with you, but you'll have none of that.
She tries to punch you, but slips in a puddle of grease (which is the word that you heard).
She wants to be near you in Xanadu, but you have other plans.
She skates over and nips you on the <kidney>. You get a great idea for a romantic comedy in which the main characters are a white blood cell and a virus. You really should write that down sometime. (FUMBLE!)
 | You acquire an item: bottled inspiration (20% chance)* |
If you are on the appropriate bounty hunt:
 | You acquire a bounty item: glittery skate key |
| You gain some <substat>. |
Occurs at The Stately Pleasure Dome.
