Echo problem with side kick and shifters

Fighting the beastmistress east of Arkham, after she shifts: wilderness <75%hp 100%m 30%mv 1656tnl (75.79%) 6 AM> With a short hop, you deal a powerful kick to a tawny deer's torso. Your weighty boots land a telling blow. Your side kick EVISCERATES a tawny deer! A tawny deer is convulsing on the ground. wilderness <75%hp 100%m 30%mv 1656tnl (75.79%) 6 AM> A tawny deer can't get her hands up in time to swing. ------------------ The deer likely doesn't have hands, and would likely not be swinging anything to attack. Perhaps something more generic like "A tawny deer cannot attack in time."?
