DeVincentis" Subject: Acka: YORL Play Stutim and Jhonis both took a step back into the corridor. Just then, Stutim remembered what happened back in the catacombs, and pulled the necklace out of a concealed pocket somewhere within his clothing. "I'll feel better about this task wearing this," he said as he put it on. Jhonis said, "With the trance they are in now, you'd hardly need that to sneak in there. It might be handy for getting out, though. I'm going to change to a cat form and handle that poor excuse for a medium; you find some way of taking out Welecta and take the princess and run. That door directly across the room from this one leads right out to the front of the temple. Don't worry if I don't leave with you, I can find my own way." Jhonis changed, and as a gray tabby, walked casually across the room and jumped up onto their table, causing the small table to shake noticeably. The medium continued her murmuring which Jhonis had previously ignored, "Ah, there it is. The answer to the riddle is a cat." Jhonis then changed right before their eyes into a huge lioness, and all three of the participants in the seance jumped back from the table. Jhonis jumped off the table, tipping it over the other way in the process, and pounced on the fleeing medium. Welecta unknowingly ran right towards the invisible Stutim. Stutim conked Welecta in the head with a loose brick he had picked up, then dropped the brick and ran to the princess. He grabbed the princess's wrist and she let out a shriek and fainted. He picked her up and carried her out of the temple over his shoulder. play: pounce ------------------------------ End of acka-games-digest V2 #232 ********************************
