[QUOTE="megamania, post: 888253, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 066 “Thieving Shadows” “Belluca- hurry with that lock!” “No need to worry Brother Shadow- I will have it in a moment more.” “Quiet!” Ducranean hisses. “I hear something.” A pebble strikes the ground and bounces a few times. Each of the three Shadows hears a female voice calling to another person. Silently like the name they have borrowed, the three Shadows move to the sides of the room. Ducranean holds back still within the vault they had just discovered. The other two crouch down by the doorway awaiting a target to strike. They rub a foul looking cloth with an icor on it across their blades. They wait…silent and prepared. Cosa continues to levitate down. The light on her staff is now revealing a bottom to this dry well. Just as she bends her knees to land gently two flashes of metal streak out at her. One strikes her leg and the other harmlessly strikes the wall and breaks from the impact. “Thieves!” yells Cosa as she drops into a defensive position. Mania begins to glow and looks down. He sees two figures dressed in black move lightning fast towards her. He sees her swinging her staff trying to keep the thieves beyond striking range. “Boo-Yah!” Mania screams as he pulls back his arms and legs and drops straight down. He hits lightly on the sandy bottom and tumbles by the amazed thieves. He comes up reaching for his Club, which is glowing also. A dagger seems appears out of no where nearly striking Mania. Instead it bounces off of his drawn club. He can’t help but think that looked planned and smooth- not just dumb luck. He strikes one thief even as everyone begins to do a dance of sorts in the 25x25-foot space. Each tries to avoid the other while remaining in striking distance. Cosa is hit by the third thief whom she was unaware existed. Her arms feel heavier and slower quickly. Mania, ticked that he couldn’t shield her well enough, swings and breaks the arm of one thief about to throw his dagger at him. Seeing an opening, he swings again breaking the jaw and neck of the thief. The swing continues onward and hits the next surprised rogue square in the face. Even in the darkness, his face cowl looks slick with blood as he slumps to the floor defeated. The leader of the three, Ducranean, sees he can not win so he tries to escape but leaping to the wall and begins to climb quickly. Even feeling sluggish, Cosa easily zaps him with twin magic missiles of energy. He grunts in pain and loses his grip. He seems to dog paddle at the wall trying to reclaim his grip but fails and fails back down. He is knocked unconscience by the fall. “Damned Shadows- this makes the third time they found my secret hiding place.” replies an unhappy Cosa. [/QUOTE]
