 You're fighting a bizarre construct

You step through the shimmering portal and find yourself in a smallish room, with no apparent exits. The only thing that stops the room from being a featureless rectangular prism is a few slab-like... well... slabs, really, sticking out from one wall at regular intervals.

Actually, that's not the only thing. There's also this strange, hovering construct, currently bearing down on you brandishing various sinister-looking manipulators.

Hit Message(s):

The construct lifts you into the air and places you gently on one of the slabs. "TASOM KUZGA NOGACHA. FUCHANOKCHA ANKROSTA LAPAZEVE," it bellows as it performs a quick and painful surgical procedure on your <kidney>. Ooh! Oof! Eek! Oof! Oof! Ugh! Argh! Ow! Eek! Argh!

The construct glides toward you. You run to the other end of the room to avoid it, and end up banging your knee, really hard, on one of the slabs. Oof! Ow! Eek! Oof! Ow! Argh! Ugh! Argh! Eek! Ooh!

The construct bellows "ZAKZAK BEHOFUSTA NILACHA. FUCHANOKCHA FUNOGACHO GACHOKUZ." It bathes the entire room in radiation, some of which gets in your eyes. Ow! Ow! Ooh! Ugh! Oof! Oof! Oof! Ouch! Ow! Ooh!

Critical Hit Message:

The construct bellows "TAGANOK FUCHANO." It then surgically removes your <thigh> and attaches it to your <skull>. It hurts almost as much as it hurts when it subsequently reverses the procedure. Oof! Oof! Eek! Ow! Oof! Ouch! Oof! Eek! Ugh! Ow!

Miss Message(s):

The construct glides toward you, manipulators raised, but you duck under a slab and avoid it. That reminds you -- you should pick up some duck under a slab for dinner tonight.

The construct grabs you and places you gently on one of the slabs. "TASOM KUZGA NOGACHA. FUCHANOKCHA ANKROSTA LAPAZEVE," it bellows, but by the time it's done bellowing, you've crawled under the slab and avoided whatever it was about to do.

The construct bellows "ZAKZAK BEHOFUSTA NILACHA. FULAZAKHO FUNOGACHO GACHOKUZ." It bathes the entire room in radiation, but you were never much for baths, so you avoid it on principle.

Fumble Message:

The construct bellows "HOKROPA GA GABECHA. FUFUPACHA HOTA," as it moves away from you and settles gently to the ground in one corner of the room. (FUMBLE!)
