Order of the Serpents Wake, or Robbing the Blind

[John]

As John approached the alter the scene grew even more grisly, inside a recession in the snake-man alter was a blind monk, laying with his arms crossed over his chest, his white robes stained crimson with blood. Next to his dead body laid his heart, a sacrifce to this twisted god.

[Sir Matthew]

"why...? is this how these monks are so powerful? sacrifices to an ancient god?"

[John]

John stepped up to the dais and hefted the large book, the moment he did a low hissing filled the room. "Come my children, the pariah tome has fallen into the hands of nonbelievers, come, strike them down and gain my favor!" as soon as the voice ceased two symmetrical doors, one on each side of the altar opened and two monks entered the room.

[skyz]

Skyz pounced on the monk from above, not katana- first, falling quickly and silently on the monk. The superiorly skilled blind man, however, attempted to catch him in the throat with a stiff-arm, but Skyz pulled his sword out at the last possible second only to cut the man's palm and skin the steel armor from his arm and hand. The monk hissed in pain, retaliating with a quick thrust with the other arm to Skyz' hand still gripping the katana. Skyz manages a small flame, just enough to weaken the blow enough to not throw his shoulder out.
"My finger is broken!" Skyz yelled. He blends back to the shadows in hopes to mend his ring finger.

[John]

The monk, bolstered by his (sort of) success against skyz turned and charged John. John was caught completely unawares by the entrance of the monks, and still held only his torch, the monk was advancing fast, and, in despiration John hurled his torch at the charging monk, the monk evaded, but a stray frame licked the corner of his habit, setting it aflame, the monk turned and stomped out the fire, but by this time John had alredy drawn his axe and prepared for combat.

[skyz]

Skyz emerged, keeping the flame burning and annoying the monk greatly. Skyz throws his sword and hits the ground behind the monk, causing the man to turn from John and focus on Skyz' sword and Skyz falling from the ceiling.

[Gilder]

"Hey guys! What...did....I........What's going on?" Just then, the second monk charged Gilder with a, well a deathly look in his ghostly eyes. " GIlder quick ly whips out his flux tome and blasts the monk straight in the chest. As the monk falls to his knees, he lets out a low, hissing sigh. "Who are these people?" bellowed Gilder across the room.

[John]

John takes one step and heaves the heavy book to Spencer "Take it" John shouted "I cant read a word of it" The book soars across the chamber, and with a heavy thud lands right next to Gilder. John turns, axe in hand and approaches an oncoming monk, swinging his axe rapidly and upredictcably he managed to keep the monk off guard, the finally connected heavily with the monks skull, the monk, like all the others, let out a low hiss before he died

[Arissa Warrner]

Xibalba pocked her head around the chapel door. Who where these people? She herself was a stranger who had been washed up on the shoreafter a hurricane, but the monks had taken her in. Xi( as was her short name) was personally furious. Thieves! who did they think they where. Tugging on a set of gantlets, she sneaked around the room and when she got in range launched herself at the unsuspecting axeman.

[skyz]

Skyz grabs the monks hands as the monk tries to hit him. He flips over tje moonk, bracing himself against the man's back with his hands.
"Hit NOW John!"

[John]

John charges the handicapped monk and, with one clean slice, takes him down. As soon as his attack lands, however he feels the cold strength of a steel gauntley digging into his back. John was flattened by the blow, but before the monk could strike again he scrambled backwards, and rose to his feet, turning to see which monk had assaulted him.

[skyz]

Skyz flipped off of the carcasses back to focus on the other monk. This one has a key round his neck shaped like a snake. Skyz rips the Katana from the ground to re-enter the defensive position afore mentioned. He pulls next to the monk to fend his attacks and attention.
"He's strong!!!" Skyz yells as he absorbs blow after blow with his katana. The katana sinks into the gauntlet time after time and the sword is almost indetectable to the monk.

[Arissa Warrner]

((hay you ignored me!))

[skyz]

"Who's the girl?" Skyz asked as he deflectid the monks blows.

((Srry arissa i forgotsss))

[Arissa Warrner]

(( you forgot! well that reflects poorly on your memory span. Jk))
Xi slamed her fists into sevral of the crew, causing large brusises. Teaming up with a monk she charged Skyz.
