The Sorceress' Angry Goat

This content has been retired and is no longer available in game.

If this is the first of her familiars you face:

Still out of sight, the sorceress cackles madly.

"Kill the adventurer, my pet!" she shrieks.

If you do not have any familiar equipped:

A giant goat comes trip-trapping down the corridor, apparently intending to snip-snap your neck.

You lose 50 hit points.

Disappointed by your failure, you stomp off in a huff, and stub your toe. Really hard.

You lose 50 hit points.

If you do not have a Mosquito equipped:

A giant goat comes trip-trapping down the corridor, apparently intending to snip-snap your neck.

<Familiar Name> butts heads with the goat, skillfully avoids his attacks, but can't seem to make a dent in the goat's thick hide. <Familiar Name> exhausts itself without even bruising the goat and gets knocked out by one fierce headbutt.

Disappointed by your failure, you stomp off in a huff, and stub your toe. Really hard.

You lose 50 hit points.

If you have a Mosquito equipped weighing less than 20 lbs:

A giant goat comes trip-trapping down the corridor, apparently intending to snip-snap your neck.

<Familiar Name> buzzes around the goat, who is infuriated by an enemy too small to headbutt. The goat runs around in circles (runs around in circles, runs around in) until <Familiar Name> skewers him and starts a-drinkin'. Unfortunately, <Familiar Name> can't hold enough blood to knock him all the way out and collapses with a bulging little mosquito belly.

Disappointed by your failure, you stomp off in a huff, and stub your toe. Really hard.

You lose 50 hit points.

<Familiar Name> buzzes around the goat, who is infuriated by an enemy too small to headbutt. The goat runs around in circles (runs around in circles, runs around in) until <Familiar Name> skewers him and drains him drier than a physics textbook.

You move further into the tower, while huge chunks of stone fall from the walls for no good reason.
