Wannabe midgets

Description

These guys were so desperate to get into the carnival sideshow that they started taking experimental pills to make them shorter.

Unfortunately for them, the only thing the pills made short was their collective temper.

It turns out that's unfortunate for you, too.

Combat Messages

Initiative Message(s):

• While they're busy arguing over which of them looks most like Willow, you get the jump on them

Attack Message(s):

• They realise that they are too tall to bite you on the ankle so they poke you in the eye instead for X DAMAGE!

Miss Message(s):

• They try to sit on each other's shoulders to make them tall enough to slap you in the face. Which would be fine if they were real midgets, but they're not and their collective height causes them to overbalance.
• They're distracted by the fairest lady in the land and waste their time talking about whether or not they should ask her to live with them.
• They start an argument with each other over who's the shortest and completely forget to attack you.

YOUR OPPONENT SCORES A CRITICAL HIT!

• They tell you what they want, and what they really really want is to hurt you for X DAMAGE!
