How does the Black Monk flurry, with his legs bound and his arms tightly clutching his scrolls?

[The Friendly Lich]

The black monk looks like he could be a really spooky encounter.

But how do I explain what happens when he attacks?
Is he like a floating stick that hits you with his whole body, without moving the limbs?
Or does he grow ghost limbs of some sort?

Everything I can think of would make him appear goofy.
Anyone has any idea?

I'd strongly recommend looking up the "lying figures" from Silent Hill 2 and emulating that style of movement for the lower half rather than upper. >;)

[Misroi]

Head butts. Lots of head butts.

He was the best mosh pit partier ever.

[TwoWolves]

Think "helicopter".

But seriously, IMC I described him as having chains wrapped around his torso, further binding his arms into holding the scroll tube, and the lose ends of these chains were animate. Thus it was not "him" but his animated chains making the attacks.

My party couldn't stop giggling at him because of precisely that question.

Being a former "mosh pit maniac" (from back in the days where bleeding spike marks in your forehead were a sign of honor), I like Andrea1's answer best.

May just be the concussions, though...

We envisioned it more like a foozball guy, rocking forward and backward on an invisible middle axis. It was a lot more threatening then one might think!
