Tue 21st May, year 4. Afternoon 1 Ticks Ago Hamster Departure!
The tiny, demonic Hamster from Hell gave one final jab of its pitchfork, set fire to a few peoples trousers and then left via the small tunnel it came by, sealing it shut in the process. We thought we could hear the noise of thousands of screaming voices just before the tunnel sealed..




That was me attacking them...

Luck of the draw mate...sometimes they wont even stay long enough for an attack sometimes they're there for hours!

But it left on the tick of the attack :/

The news occurs before, so it's earlier in the ticker. I'd guess the hamster appearing/disappearing comes under 'unique events' (phase 2), whilst combat is phase 5.

The tick goes through over the course of a few seconds, it doesn't all happen simultaneously, actions are processed in a certain order.

i had someone attack me a while back, and a hamster appeared on the tick they attacked range, so the lucky ******* got the hamster kill
