[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6168527, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “03 PLAY FOR KEEPS” SEGMENT 61 “CORAL GOLEM GUARDIAN” DRAVAGO 5 ,997 The small ship is away at night. Several spells cover its passing. It sails carry it first north then turns west. No one speaks on board. Even with the silence spell they say little in fear of alerting the turbulent master or his minions. They circle a shallow water bay that leads to the fortress. The ship moves slowly and silently when suddenly it is struck from below. “Sookie- what did we hit? The water depth here should be over ten feet.” Kerri tries to shout without really raising her voice. “Coral.” He calls back. “Coral? The only coral should be outside of the bay.” “The coral… it moves on its own.” He says while drawing out his swords. Switching her senses to Mango, see looks through her familiar’s eyes. From high to the crow’s nest she can see a shadowy mass roughly 20 x 20 feet across supported on legs. It pushes up and strikes the small ship again. “Hull has been ruptured. We’re going down.” States Simon in his overly too serious tone he is known for. Kerri looks to Simon then back up the fortress which is just now visible on the high cliffs. “Let’s hope we can handle this without alerting him.” Simon raises his hand before his face and makes a fist in a defiant way. The ring he wears glows and the water begins to recede around the ship. A gargantuan spider-like mass of coral is revealed. Kerri looks at it. ”Golem” “Sookie, John….. No spells effects- let’s take it down.” Sookie leaps over the edge of the ship onto the top of the Coral Golem. The surface is sharp and wet. He strikes at a limb hoping to remove it. The barnacles and coral shells and organisms absorb much of the damage. “Golem… as in construct?” Play smiles as he leaps off the ship. His magical clubs build up in energy and he unleashes. Bits of coral crack and splinter off from this strike. Another arm strikes out and hits Play whom falls to the wet sand. He is struck several times more while Sookie rides the beast. Simon continues to command the water to separate and expose the golem. Kerri debates what of her spells she can use that will not act like a beacon from the fortress. Sookie and Play attack it from above and below. Once more the golem goes after Play. He dodges three swings of its massive arm but runs into the fourth strike. He knocked senseless by the hit. Kerri mentally calls out to her familiar. Mango leaps off the crow’s nest and using his oversized hat floats down to her. Simon debates whether to maintain the water control spell or attack directly himself. Sookie chips off more of the construct. Play stumbles back, stunned. He wants to be sure to avoid the twin images of the Coral Golem. The Golem strikes at the Dragonmarked barbarian this time and strikes hard each time. Kerri calls for Sookie and Play clear as she begins her spell. She wanted to save it to possibly enter the fortress but under the conditions- Disintegration sounds good. She hopes the energy wave will not be seen as black and dark purple energy outlines the construct and pulses twice before only four towers remain that were once legs.
