What's this?

[Drektor]

A triton combatant thrusts with an oak-shafted silvery blue trident at you!
AS: +429 vs DS: +413 with AvD: +28 + 60 + d40 roll: +1 = +105
... and hits for 1 point of damage!
Thrust slides along the back.
Cuts a nagging itch.

where's that +60 come from?

[Whirlin]

Truehand-style effect, where a flat bonus is applied, and a low d-roll is generated.

See: 340, although that is 50+d50

Specific to the combatant? No idea.

[Valyss]

it's just rank 5 truehand, notice it took his roll down to d40

Radical also have truehand, I can't recall if defenders do as well, but they all seem to have the same combat maneuver tricks.

I see your truehand, and ask, what's this?

You trudge off, moving south.
[Temple Wyneb, Calvaria]
Ingeniously sculpted from the mountain itself, this cavern makes use of a very hard substrate layer to form the ceiling and hold back the countless tons of rock resting over your head. The designers of this tunnel clearly knew the strengths and weaknesses of rock, and used that knowledge to their advantage. You also see a muscular supplicant and a hunch-backed dogmatist.
Obvious exits: north, south
>
a hunch-backed dogmatist stares at you for a moment before bursting into a fit of hysterical laughter. As tears stream down his cheeks with the force of his mirth, colorful light shimmers for an instant around you.
CS: +320 - TD: +218 + CvA: -26 + d100: +56 == +132
Warding failed!
... and hits for 26 points of damage!

... 20 points of damage!
In a massive display of gore, your neck explodes violently!
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
The shimmering aura fades from around you.
The faint blue glow fades from around your hands.
The pleasantly warm sensation fades as your heartbeat begins to return to normal.
Your heightened attunement to the flows of mana begins to fade.
Your heightened awareness of your own defensive weaknesses fades away.
Your heightened awareness of your foes fades away.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

[Gelston]

A crit kill.

[gs4-PauperSid]

A crit kill.

Profound.

I just didn't recognise the spell. ;)

[Gelston]

Looks like a cleric spell. Critters have spells that don't exist for players aswell.

I'd guess it was 302, they can also cast 312 and 317 as well though.The messaging is different then player's get but creatures often get special messaging.
