[i][b]THWACK![/b][/i] Contact was made from the right elbow of an attacker to chest of the unsuspecting clean-shaven man dressed in loose fitting and fairly ornate robes. As the victim of the strike began to stumble back he dropped a bindle onto the dirt floor below. The sensation from the drop caused the bindle to unravel and clatter revealing some steamed buns, a few stone trinkets designed like tools a small silk pouch and ink containers which shattered apart and splattered onto the assorted items.

The noise made did not deter the attacker from the target who was just starting to come to his senses. Pan Chao quickly closed the gap with his target as he struck the front of his target's face using the right side of his closed right fist. Nostrils flared out as he swung his left elbow against at the chest. As Pan Chao was pushing onward with his continuous barrages. With his victim backed against the stone wall of this sanctum, Pan Chao clenched his teeth as he delivered a cross to his target's nose. This was the strike that caused the young man to just crumble down as Pan Chao kept on swinging. This particular onslaught continued for a few more moments before Pan Chao was satisfied. 

Pan Chao smirked as he wringed his bloodied hands together as looked at the altar of this sanctuary. It was a simplistic display that consisted of a small table that had some lit candles around a currently empty bowl that was just underneath a time-worn painting which only had a field and a river visible upon it. Rummaging through the stone trinkets, Pan Chao smiled as he plucked one that appeared to look like a hook. It was quickly embedded inside the upper corner of the painting. Again he looked down at these spoils. Pan pawed his hands through the assorted colors of ink splat and smeared it across the painting warping the image into a multicolored swirls for a crude ocean. 

"Your offerings have been accepted." Pan Chao stated towards the man as he gathered up the remaining items of value. "And they will continue to be accepted." He stated as he strolled out of the building to a trio of men standing patiently upon a dirt road. Approaching each man of the group individually Pan Chao began handing out the collected loot to all of them. "Haul it gigside." Pan Chao spoke as he glanced down the dirt road. "I shall be there momentarily." The group nodded and followed the instructions given as they went down the dirt road ready to store the loot. 

Pan Chao stretched his arms upwards while glancing towards the way he spotted the robed man arrive from. Spotting a wooden building not too far away, Pan Chao smirked as he proceeded towards it. Once at the door Pan Chao slammed against it causing the door to give way and open. This was when the strange occurrence happened, and Pan Chao was not inside the building which he was expecting, but rather in a forest and near yet another and more populated shrine.
