[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5780461, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “PLAY TO WIN” SEGMENT 23 “BATTLE OVER ELDEEN BAY” Aryth 05 996 Guards in the hull were easy enough. Zinter and the demon must be upstairs with Shasta. Possibly the Captain’s room. He silently climbs the ladder to the top. Twilight. Cool air. Damp. Seagulls. Over water or near the shore. Eldeen bay. Eight minutes later “Knock Knock” and the door slowly open to the captain’s room. Zinter, his two augmented Warforged bodyguards and Challa surround Shasta whom is tied up to a chair in the center of the room. “Sigh. You were right. We should have killed him. If you may….” John backs up. He knew this had to be done. There was no other way. (at least none as much fun) Is there risk? Yes. (but a Siberys shard could fall outta the sky and kill you) “Play.” Challa whispers while pulling out his short sword. “Challa…. Or do you prefer Whisper?” Play retorts while beginning to mirror the opponent’s movements. “Shasta says you and her came to find me…. Challa. True?” “Yuppersiree.” Play never takes his eyes off of the assassin. “Why are you with Cannith head here?” “My people and his both want…. Certain things that can be… attained quicker… together.” “Well- nuh-duh horn head. I gathered that already.” He shifts quickly as the assassin feints in one direction. Zinter watches on. He is enjoying the show. “Cannith… wants better… construct warriors….” The assassin swings and jabs at the Dark lantern. “Train them better then.” Play swings his club weaving it low then up catching the assassin’s leg then two more swings into his side. “Or I’ll beat them down like I am you!” [you are ever a brat bastard Play] “Outta my head ya demon!” “Someday I will have you Play. It is only a matter of time.” The possessed assassin attempts again but misses. “I have broken at least one rib and your knee looks funny. Do I have to kill your host again or will you just back to Khyber on your own?” This time two club shots strike dislocating the off arm shoulder of Challa. “NOOOOOOOO! DON’T” screams out Shasta. “Relax my dear. I am curious about this. I wish to watch more.” Replies Zinter with a calm that scares her more than the thought of the demon possessing her brother. The assassin attempts to trick Play but it fails. Play sees through his feint. “So, how are you people helping the Canniths?” The assassin spits out some blood. Play doesn’t watch where it lands. He knows better than to take his eyes off of the assassin. “We gather shards for him. Shards he shapes into round gems to empower and place into the constructs.” “Docents?!?” Surprised for a half of a second the assassin attacks. It is all that is needed as the assassin lunges forward and catches Play in the leg. “Nice one.” [even if you do this…. Kill this body….
