 You're fighting The Burrowing Bishop

Ancient astronomers claimed that a famous Bishop of Loathing was known for spinning his mitre like a drill, and using it to search for sacred relics underground. Unsurprisingly, they never said what his name supposedly was.

Hit Message(s):

He swiftly burrows into the... er, sky, and then pops up behind you and sucker-punches you in the <knee>. Ouch! Eek! Eek! Ow! Ouch! Ooh!

He spins his mitre and charges at you furiously, drilling you in the <solar plexus>! Ugh! Oof! Oof! Argh! Argh! Ow! (sleaze damage)

Critical Hit Message:

He drills you a new orifice. It's kind of neat, but you really don't have much use for it. Ow! Ugh! Ugh! Argh! Ow! Eek! Ooh! Ouch! (sleaze damage)

Miss Message(s):

He attempts to burrow away from you, but you catch him with your maker-hooks and keep him on the surface.

He spins his mitre and charges at you, but you leap out of the way like a nervous altar boy.

Fumble Message:

He tries to burrow toward you, but makes a wrong turn at Albuquerque. (FUMBLE!)
