[QUOTE="Dirigible, post: 1372186, member: 12631"] [B]All:[/B] [i]pblib.[/i] That is the nearest that words can capture the sound of a lead sling bullet cutting through ethereal demon-fog, which closes behind the projectile mockingly. Sharp ears pick up a wooden [i]chunkkk[/i] as it clips something inside the next room. With an eldritch howl, the sorceror hurls fistfuls of netherworld fire at the gibbous mist. Flames crackle as they duel with the spectral vapours, which seem to recoil from the heat and light. Rather than burning away, though, they seem to coallesce... It reminds Gavyn of the 'ghosts' from the morality plays they used to show back in Caspia. Men draped in sheets, going 'woooo'. Except that those masquerade ghosts never had burning green eyes, oozing malignant goo, or endless black rips of a maw that smacks clothily as it hungers for your soul or appears wrapped in filthy sheets, like the sails of a funeral ship. And those masquerade ghosts will not have you waking up, pale and sweating with nightmares of horrible, suffocating death lingering in your mind. Standing as tall as a man, the tattered wraith gives a ear rending screech, the rips in its fabric that serve as a mouth gnashing like black fangs. It wafts through the air, moving like the crack of a whip towards Dark. The sorceror raises his iron-shod staff, driving it into the wraith with all his meager strength. It strikes, but with all the effectiveness of a carpet beater on an old rug, raising some vile smelling dust, but not harming the vile shade one iota. Then, it is upon him. The death-shroud cloth lunges up like a wave, encircling the sorceror in the blink of an eye. The material folds in, like the bedsheets being tucked in by a demonic mother, and with a perplexed gurgle the gaunt man is swallowed by it. You can see him struggling through the cloth as it tightens, choking the life out of him. Dark is completely wrapped, like some living mummy. The evil green eyes of the wraith glitter at you, promising dire things to come once it has finished this victim. [b]Dark[/b] The sheet is vicelike as it gathers around you. You can feel it squeezing the air out of your lungs, trying to suffocate you. The rough, corpse-reeking cloth abrades your skin as it tightens, and you can feel it gently reverberating like a huge, wriggling drum membrane. A blessing from the Red Lady, a thought comes to your mind; your fingertips itch towards the hilt of the X bladed dagger. If you can just looses the thing's grip for a moment... [i]OOC: Round 2.
