The Monastery burned around him, the heat seared the flesh beneath his robes as he was forced to flee. The trainees made their way through the corridors towards the secret exit, his eyes scanning the windows and beyond as he shepherded them. His vision focused on the figures standing within the central courtyard. His master, the Abbot stood bruised and beaten, clinging onto consciousness even as he stood stalwart against the dark figure before him.
The dark figure’s fists coated with blood as the very shadows danced and coiled around his form. The young trainees hurrying through began to vanish one by one into the secret tunnels, the young monk unable to help but stare as the dark figure pulled a set of wicked kamas from his back and bring them down around the Abbot’s neck. A scream of anguish torn through his throat and between his lips before startling awake with faltering breath. Sweat streaming down his brow as he looked around to see the Abbot standing beside his bed with another brother of the Monastery, his brow raised questioningly.
-“Are you alright, brother? What is going on?” Asked the other monk as the abbot stayed silent, wiping the sweat from the young man’s brow.
-“It… It was just a nightmare, I am sorry to make you both worry.”
The other monk sighed a sigh of relief, but the Abbot’s brow instead furrowed.
-“Tell me of that nightmare, young one.”
As the young novice relayed his tale, a figure covered in dark robes, slowly walked up the cobblestone path that lead to the monastery’s front door.
You are an absolute beast capable of dealing lots of damage with the kamas you use, while having saving throws through the roof, and being able to cast some nasty spells, as well as having a Shadow companion that can help you murder things ridiculously fast. You are also a fairly good tripper, meaning Combat Reflexes will activate a fair few times a round.
