0.03 Preview #2 - Atmosphere in the Dungeon

One of the features I'm currently coding for inclusion in 0.03 is customising the message to give more atmosphere in the dungeon. Monsters will speak, and do things, and the combat messages will be much more flavoursome. Here is an except from the message log with highlighted flavour text for Kobolds:

Eventually, I'd like to have flavour text for the character's own combat as well, for example, warhammers would "smash" and "thump", whereas daggers would "stab" and "slice", and so on.
