Retrieving Lily's stuff part 2

JP with mdman & red_sword7 & Jaxx

The first man Ran out the door followed by another to grab Lily. The Arcan user mumbled some words and the hallway filled with smoke. The smoke traveled not only to Lily but also to the other direction of the hallway getting to the elevator shaft and traveling up and down.

Sung sensed the attack coming. " jen-jang!," (damn it) He bolted for the door but was hit by the smoke. It almost pushed him back. Giving the time need to try to grab Lily.

Cronk pushed Sung forward into the hallway so he could get out. The smoke was thick and gathering bead the ceiling, which was where Cronk’s head was.

Cronk began to hack and cough as his lungs filled with the acrid smoke. He couldn’t see anything either, as his eyes began to water.

Cronk groped for the Young Lady. He shouted, “Young One! Where?”

Lily was out cold as she dangled over the shoulder of her kidnapper. The blinding light, loud sound, and smoke knocked her unconscious. It completely overwhelmed her senses, causing her to drop her bags and pass out. Of course, the loud sound and smoke caused a bit of panic when other curious hotel guests opened their doors to realize the danger and commotion going on outside their rooms. This incited a panic as people screamed “FIRE” to alert other guests as they ran down the stairs to escape the smoke while believing it was a real fire. This made it harder for Sung and Cronk to rescue dear Lily.

Sung reaches the hallway just in front of Cronk he closed his eyes knowing he could not see with them. He focused his Zanshin as the Ki reached out he could see in his mind a white cloud and the people there.

Sung focused on the first two still moving forward at a full dash Sung must have surprised the first two. Sung brought his cane up so the head of it was pointed forward. Sung ran to the right side and hit the man there with his cane head sending him into the other one they both hit the left wall hard. Sung could feel the impact of his cane crack some ribs. "Cronk Here Two of them" Sung knew Cronk was no fool and what Sung was doing Orcs just was good at this type of stuff naturally.

The Arcan user saw Sung coming. The man knew it was time to run He turned passing the two men with Lily. The Man did not want to fight The Man with the https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7b/79/e0/7b79e0dd831385906106985f5988ddfe.jpg or the Orc. He could tell Sung was a mid-level user of magic and knew what he could accomplish. As for the Orc The man did not want his head crushed by the Orc he heard the Name Cronk and that was enough. He did not want to meet the Orc.

Cronk heard the Wise One speaking from within the smoke. Following the voice, Cronk ran into the two men whom Sung had previously engaged. Cronk picked up the first one, and threw him, slamming him up against the wall. The man’s breath got knocked from him, combined with the broken ribs from Sung, and the smoke, caused the man to convulse upon the floor. A sized-twenty foot soon met the man’s chin, knocking him out.

The other one fell during the struggle. Cronk leaped into the air as high as his 400 pounds would go and came down with his feet landing full force upon the man’s chest. A sickening cracking sound emanated from the crushed rib cage and collapsed sternum, puncturing the lungs of the man.

Looking downward, Cronk could fully see the man with blood streaming from his nose and mouth. That’s when Cronk realized the smoke was only on his level, not down on the floor. Cronk realized to breathe easier, he must crawl upon the floor until this smoke cleared. He began to crawl toward what he believed was the Wise One’s legs.

Sung rushed up to the next man that turned to face him. Sung jumped to one side then the other building force and more speed. He turned the bottom end of his https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7b/79/e0/7b79e0dd831385906106985f5988ddfe.jpg to point forward. The man pulled a knife from his belt. Slashed with his knife as Sung moved in the Man cut across Sung's chest and cut his vest and shirt. The man only left a mark on the skin where he slashed.

Sung thrust his cane into the man's throat. Striking the Larynx and crushing his throat the Man flew back hitting the man carrying Lily.

Both men get entangled and crash to the ground. With Lily to one side. "Cronk Lily!" yelled Sung. That is all Sung could get out in time. Sweat was dripping down Sung's face from his use of KI.

Cronk heard the Wise One’s voice once more. Now Cronk saw that Sung was in a struggle with someone upon the floor. He also saw Lily upon the floor next to them.

Although he would have liked to help Sung, Cronk knew his duty. Sung gave him a command, or at least it sounded like one. Cronk followed orders. It was in Cronk’s makeup. His DNA. Cronk was not the type to lead because he acted on impulse most of the time without thinking. He was a follower. At the moment, there was no one better to be following than the Wise One. To Cronk, it was an honest nickname for the Oriental man.

Taking a deep breath, Cronk forced himself up into a starting push-up position, then thrusting his legs forward, looking much like a giant frog, Cronk burst forth from the legs and ran toward the fallen Young Lady.

When he reached her, Cronk squatted next to her, looking upon the young lady with concern. In her unconscious state, she looked so frail, so helpless.

Cronk began to seethe in anger. He turned from Lilly, standing before the man with whom Sung was not currently entangled, who was attempting to get up from the floor, where Sung had sent him.

“You not treat girl like lady!” Cronk shouted as a huge foot came crashing down between the man’s legs. The man screamed in pain, writhing in the hallway.

Cronk turned back to Lily, his anger abated, and gently scooped her in his arms. He leaned his head forward to feel her breath upon his cheek, verifying she was breathing on her own. She would be okay.

“Cronk take Young Lady,” he stated to the Wise One, trusting his teammate’s abilities to dispatch of the last man and follow him.

Cronk firmly held the girl close to his chest so if he were to lose his balance, Cronk could keep Lily safe. Finding the stairs, Cronk began to descend them, not trusting the elevator, or who might be awaiting them outside of it.

Sung was amazed at cronks speed for a big Orc than man could move. Sung was almost supered as Cronk flew by him and landed next to Lily. Sung made a quick mental note of it.

Sung winced at the attack Cronk had done to the man. even a seasoned veteran like Sung could not help but shudder at the sound of the foot stomp and the man's manhood.
Sung was haft tempted to leave that man in his sorrows. Sung saw Cronk head for the stairs and the smoke was starting to clear.

Sung's instincts were in full swing. He was almost automatically acting almost without thought. He rushed the man now rolling on the floor in agony screaming in pain. Sung ended him with one swing of his cane to the head. the man trembled for a moment and then lay lifeless.

Sung went back to the first man that he killed. Looking he saw a gold pocket watch odd for this type of man. He took the watch and opened it it had the symbol of the children of the sea inside the lid. Sung found that interesting. He moved quickly to the butler's room the door was slightly open He pushed it open with his cane. Across was a small shrine of the children of the sea. He had what he needed he ran after Cronk.

Outside, the hotel a different carriage was parked watching everything unfold. The Butler was angered when he did not see the men he hired coming out of the smoking building. He did see an Orc and what looked like Elizabeth's Adviser come out with Lily and jump into a carriage and race off. He slammed his fist down on the wood rest "Dam them." he mumble "Driver get us out of here!" he ordered.
