Isn't wejmaH tupmey what i put?

That would work... just seems funny to me since the creature of subject is pretty much stationary.

Yes, but that's not the problem. All I'm saying is that your prefixes are
referring to the wrong person. If you're the one playing the game, then
you're also the one that is getting near the monster, and you're also the
one who can't kill it. Saying {DaHoHlaHbe'} means that I, QeS, am playing
the game - which I'm not. {vIHoHlaHbe'} would be more correct.

jIja'taH, jIja':

Getting used to hte lack of a locative for feminin objects (considering everything of substance is considered masculine) like time sight that sort of thing, is a bit difficult. lol
