[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6170704, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “03 PLAY FOR KEEPS” SEGMENT 65 “MONK ASSASSINS OF THE MOCKERY” DRAVAGO 5 ,997 NIGHT John Play looks to the source of the voice. The figure is moving slowly out of the deep shadows. He studies the figure quickly. The grace in his stride suggests a monk or swashbuckler. Maybe even an assassin. “Don’t underestimate him.” He offers to the team. Using his Dark lantern skills of stealth, Play moves into the darkness in such a way the Monk assassin loses sight of him (Hide in Plain sight). Kerri decides to attack with magic. She is tired already of running into sneaky killers. Her Polar ray strikes him and he screams…. An eerie scream that ends in a breathy giggle. Sookie enters a berserker rage and charges. He takes a brief slash as the monk attempts to stop his charge with a swing of his kama. His Long sword strikes deep into the assassin’s shoulder and chest. Ice and fog bursts off of the body from the impact. Simon moves up to support the ½ orc while not going into melee. From here he can see the assassin is already dead but trying to scare the barbarian even with a sword embedded in his chest where a heart used to be. “you… will…die.” The assassin says in a whisper. “You first ugly man.” Sneers the barbarian. “Incoming!” Calls Play from somewhere in the darkness. The air surrounding the group ripples in energy as eight Monks magically step into battle. Only Play is not surrounded as they did not see him taking cover. A burst of red and puss blasts out of the head of a monk attacking Kerri as Play sneaks out from a pillar in the darkness and strikes him. Kerri reaches out with an attack. Electrical energy courses through the monk of pain and torture. He hisses in pain but smiles through a heavily scared face. Sookie weaves his sword and a dagger around him and removes the arms and other vital parts from one monk. Simon strikes a monk several times with electrical discharges occurring.
