Elemental Monk[edit]

More Than A Normal Monk[edit]

Her body is in a blur of elements as she sucks herself into the ground behind the orc, which was just going to hit her and wacks the orc in the head and remains in a fighting stance, until at last, she stands alone. Holding his breath in, the elf covered in blood sweeps the hobo goblin off there feet and in mid-air, releases a fury of elemental blows into the hobo goblin's head, waiting for the next goblin to try to attack him. In the silence of the night, the halfling glides to the balcony of an evil man, and lets the sharp blade loose of its holster, looking at the bad man through the window, so vulnerable.
