[Dark Palisade, Lovers' Leap]
The desolate moor gives up life to a jagged cliff of jet black volcanic rock and the grey sea beyond. Cold wind carries the spray of the waves below against the rocks and howls up the face of the cliff below. It draws a mournful wail from the dark stone as it hurtles onto the moor, blowing the tenacious shrubs into drawn and flat shadows of their normal shapes. You also see the edge of the precipice.
Obvious paths: north, south, west
>stance d
You are now in a defensive stance.
>jump
You foolishly leap up into the air and straight out over the cliff!
A powerful wall of air suddenly strikes and you find yourself slowing ever so slightly. The surroundings are just a blur of motion as you speed along!
>
Just as you think the falling will never end, you are suddenly dropped into a smooth stone chute. Your sensation of falling turns to dizziness as you tumble down the chute. Without warning you find yourself hanging in the air for a prolonged second and then WHUMP!!!
You are stunned!
You feel the presence of cold hard stone underneath you.

XXXX's muscles twitch and a strained look crosses his face.
XXXX stands up.

[Wind Tunnel]
The tunnel stretches away in either direction as far as the eye can see, which is not a long ways at all back into the gale that blows down from the east. To the west, the passage slopes ever downward. If you were to set a wizard's crystal sphere upon the ground, it is easy to imagine it rolling before the wind forever.
Also here: a stunned Character
Obvious exits: east, west

You roll around on the ground laughing hysterically!

XXXX grins.
>say I could've sworn you stood up
You softly say, "I could've sworn you stood up."
>say how come you were stunned again
You softly say, "How come you were stunned again."
>say did I land on you?
You softly ask, "Did I land on you?"

XXXX says, "I did."

You softly ask, "And how are you able to do this?"
Apparently it's a combat maneuver. Ok. What the hell? Why are they able to move while they're stunned.. even attack. Isn't the whole purpose of stunning someone is to rend them vulnerable? :?:
