You're fighting a tonic water elementalThis room is guarded by a whirlwind of conscious tonic water. A delicate blend of dangerous and delicious. If you could only see how much it wants to kill you, maybe you would understand.
Hit Message(s):
It throws a lemon parade for you. You're not sure what that means, but it sure hurts. Ooh! Ow!
It scoops you up into a whirlwind of quinine-laced pain. Ugh! Ow!
It drowns you in bitter water. You don't know when it got bitter. Eek! Argh!
It surrounds you with whirling, surging tonic water. The bubbles go up your nose and make you sneeze. The water goes into your lungs and you can't breathe. All in all, it's not so pleasant. Ooh! Ugh! Argh!
It throws a lemon parade for you, but you wisely make way for it.
It tries to swoop you up into its whirling water, but you pacify it with a bottle of vodka you find lying nearby.
It tries to drown you in bitter water, but you play a bittersweet symphony and the water slides right over you.
It wants more, more than you can give. You explain that, and the whirlwind calms down a little.
You insist on pronouncing the 'h' in whirlwind,'[sic] which enrages it so much it misses its attack.
It starts to spin toward you again, but is attacked by a sabre-toothed lime! The lime bites it, it crushes the lime, and the lime juice takes the bitterness out of the tonic water. It loses the desire to attack. (FUMBLE!)
