[QUOTE="ForceUser, post: 573331, member: 2785"] [b]Session Four, Part 2.5[/b] [b]WOO TORE[/b] through the night in hot pursuit of the orc mystic. His long braid whipped like a cobra in the rushing air as moonlight reflected off the dewy grass, illuminating his path. The moon itself hung oppressively in the sky, a full bright eye that mocked him. Ahead, he heard heavy breathing, grunts and snarls, as his fleeing foe stormed through the brush like a wounded boar. Cresting a short rise, he spied a rippling shadow below him barreling toward a nearby thicket. Silently, he jumped. Propelled by muscles honed through years of rigorous exercise, Woo sailed through the air like a bird of prey. He maintained his balance, thrusting his feet out and guiding his descent with his torso and arms. The rush of wind cooled his face, invigorating him as he focused inward, feeling the flow of his [I]ch’i[/I] resonating throughout his body, instantly channeled forward and down the length of his leg. Like a sledgehammer, he drove his enemy to the ground. The orc cried out as something snapped, wet and gristly. Woo rolled to the right and sprung to his feet, pausing as the creature writhed on the ground in utter agony, back broken. With a snap-kick to the jaw, he mercifully ended its life. The corpse shuddered, and Woo noticed for the first time drums pounding in the distance, a savage counterpoint to the beating of his heart. Footsteps crashed on the slope behind him, and he whirled. “Woo! Woo!” cried a Vinh-shaped shadow. The no-sheng skidded to a stop on the ridge above, instantly assessing the scene. “We must go, for surely more will come! Do you hear the drums?” “Yes,” said the monk, and with that the two dashed up the mountainside to rejoin the others. Within minutes the party fled once again toward the dubious refuge of the Monkey God’s temple. Above, the moon looked on. [b]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/b] [/QUOTE]
