Hey folks,
Is it possible for me to match one trigger that matches all of these variabilities:

You devastate (some mob with a single name) with your remarkable claw!
You pulverize (some mob with a single name) with your claw.
You massacre (some mob with a short description) with your claw.
You obliterate (some mob with a short description) with your horrific claw!
You claw (some mob with a short description) noticeably.
You claw (some mob with a short description) with force.
You claw (some mob with a short description) extremely hard.
You claw (some mob with a short description) hard.
You hardly claw (some mob with a short description).
You assault (some mob with a short description) with an astonishing claw.

I've tried to just get one of these variables to set off the trigger by using "^You devastate\: .+$" but it doesn't work, not sure why.

I'd like to have the trigger send to the world the name of whatever I'm attacking, i.e., (any mob with a single name like "Bob" or "Tom") or (some mob with a short description like "A short man with a missing eye", etc.)
Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Do the lines have colons or not? Since, your original lines don't, but you tried to match on it for some reason.
