I eventually break off the hug, still feeling relieved of the lost burden I used to carry. Breathing in and out deeply I feel my spirit rejuvenated and my willpower reinforced.

You enter a garish reception room.
There's a rather large table with a mare behind it, some doors, and stairs to an upper floor.
Most of the furniture is old and intricately decorated, and thick, red curtains hang on the windows.
"Can I help you? Do you have a reservation?"
The mare gives you a polite smile.

She purses her lips.
"Now I'm not sure if I can…"
Her attention then goes to Card's tricks.
>>65967
"Oh! How magnificent! What did you want to know? Thick? Let me see…"
"Thick Skull…"
"Ah, yes! He's currently in the suite 206, that's room number 6 on the second floor."
Her tone changes to much more suggestive.

Open the door and walk in.
"Thick Skull? My name is Neith, I'm a inquisitor. No I'm not here to hunt you down. I need information and I need it fast. It's very important. No, don't start complaining that you are busy. You can continue as soon as we leave. I need to know if you have information regarding a vampire that supposedly should be roaming around these lands.

The receptionist starts to rock her head in rhythm.
"You're a really good musician, anyone ever tell you that?"
>>65993
You enter a room covered in soft pillows. The only light source is a fireplace, and there is some sort of a perfume in the air.
Thick is laying on the middle with a very pretty mare. He is a rather normal looking pony with a light yellow coat and dark brown mane.
Despite your calm tone, he panics and hides under the pillows.
"I didn't do nothin'! Don't take me away, I'm leading a good and chaste life!"
The mare looks dumbfounded.

"I- uh- well then."
He appears from the pile of pillows and walks next to his whore again.
"Well. Vampires? Right. I usually get paid for this stuff, but I presume I can just leave you a bill."
He takes out a note book and browses through a couple of pages.
"Right. Here. Uhh… some weird casket deliveries at the gates. Weird people going around the stores here. Activity in the grave yards. That's all I know that could be related to your vampire."
He then positions himself over the mare
"Now if you wouldn't mind."

As you walk downstairs, you see Buttermilk sleeping on one of the comfy couches. The reception mare is reading a magazine while occasionally glancing at her.
As you walk past her she chimes in
"Are you sure I couldn't interest some of you with a partner? We're having a discount on Zebras and Buffaloes!"

The way out of the red lantern district is pretty uneventful, as is most of the way to the outskirts of the safe area.
You walk under a partly collapsed gateway into a rather large open area. Shops once lined this street, but now most of them have been looted or have caved in.
You can see the graveyard at the end of the street, but for now your attention is taken by some rustling coming from the rooftops.

You fly up and stop the pony in the cloak.
"Shit!"
He slips and falls into the street below, quickly jumping up.
"My name is Quick Shot, 'Shot' to my friends, 'That damn wastrel' to my enemies."
He gives a bow.
"I lead this lovely band of brigands and cutthroats."
He then hops back up to the rooftops, and flips his hood off. You can see he's an unicorn. He's wearing a mask.
"Now if you'd be willing to part with your money, valuables and weapons, this needn't get bloody."

He deftly dodges your attack.

>>66093
You rip a hole in his cape
"oh, a fellow dueling gentleman!"
He pulls out three pistols, like of which you've never seen, from his belt.
They're fully made of metal and have a cylinder in the middle of them.
"But I'm afraid this is a battle you cannot win."
He fires each of the pistols.

Thankfully his shots aren't that accurate.
Most of them ricochet off the ground harmlessly.
The rest of the ponies are making a ring circling your party.

He does a sommersault and hits you in the back with his hoof, making you plummet to the ground.
"Now, now, dear, don't intervene when gentlemen fight!"
>>66101
You hit one of his pistols, making it fall to the ground, useless.
"Well. the good thing about this pistols, you see, is the rate of fire."
He fires four shots, two from each of the pistols, at an alarming rate.

Right after that, Neith's accurate fire shatters his horn, making him fall off the building again, and dropping his revolvers.
He's not moving on the ground.

You pull another pony down from the roofs. He falls into an alleyway where you can't see him.

Tighten the grip a little more, looking really pissed.

Drop him back on the ground.
"Fine, but if I see his ugly thieving muzzle again, I will stab it."
Spit on his face and walk away.

The coffinmaker opens his store early.
It's a wooden hovel with a creaky desk in it. The walls are lined with caskets made of nothing but plywood, but with canterlot-grade price tags.
The proprietor himself is a sickly, old goat with a long beard. He seems to have a glass eye for his left eye.
"How can I help you? Of course! You need a coffin! Big, small, weak or strong? Child, Geezer, Lover, Foe? Doesn't matter, one size fits them all 6 feet underground!"
One thing of note is a large coffin hidden beneath a sheet behind the desk.

The party waits the day out in the coffin maker's shop.
As the sun starts to set, bathing the town in the last of it's golden rays, two ponies enter the shop. They both look a bit pale and sickly.
Ali and Fourtunes can see a large, black coach in front of the store, being pulled by a rather large earth pony.
The goat stands up
"Ah! Master's servants are here to take you to his estate!"
>>73224
You attempt to draw a smiley face
It looks frowny

I hit the switch and lock Neith in place and walk outside.
The carriage is made from wood, and the servants look like they haven't eaten in days.

You're outside too.

You stumble, and fall into a puddle.

The coffins are quickly loaded into the wagon, and one the servants sit on the front, the other in the back. The goat waves Ali goodbye.
The servants close the lids of the coffins and get going.
You quickly leave the town. Ali can see you're headed for the castle hill on the eastern part of town.
Suddenly, one of the servants pushes Ali off the cart, while the other one clasps Neith in place.

You have the iniative.
Also you alert Aurelia with this.

You are however not so lucky, as you are pushed off the cart you climbed into since everyone else did so too and the goat loaded coffins for every 'vampire'.

Well so much for that then.
Casually stroll along, hat over my eyes, to see how long it takes for my comrades to crash the cart into a tree or something.
No real need to hurry, not like I can catch up on my own now can I?
Pray to Pinkie as I hop along. Maybe she can give me guidance.

The cart stumbles over.
>>73274
Gladly, you manage to save everyone before the cart topples.
>>73275
You barely scrape him.
>>73271
You're right, the cart hasn't gone even a hundred meters before it crashes.
"Neat, huh? Go on, help your friends!"

The pony then points at the castle looming in the distance behind the smog that covers most of the city.
He quickly disappears into the morning crowd.
You'll be at the castle gate by the time the rest of the party gets there
Unless you just decide to piss off or something.

I got you covered
In the graveyard I saw a pretty pink butterfly that I had to chase because it was a sing and it lead me to a group of orphans who needed cheering up so I played songs for them, threw them a party and played games!
After that, you have to come up with something, I didn't read the last session

I grit my teeth around the pain.
"Listen, Neith, I know that you are pissed off.In fact, I know that you are more pissed off than I can possibly know, and you are controlling it well, but I don't think this pony had a choice. We should tie him up, drop him somewhere where he will be safe for the night, then go kill Von Vlad and all his minions that refuse to help us. Is that a good plan?"

"No! I use balloons!"
A few colourful balloons fly up from behind some houses on cue.
>>77515
You're easily an hour's walk away from the nearest guard post.
The last rays of sun are shining over the rooftops in the distance.
If you go any further into the city, it won't really matter though, since the smog gets so thick you can only tell day from night by how gray it is outside.

You can hear a crash and some gunshots in the distance. The balloons start to decent, until only a big pink one remains.
Following it, you reach an alley, and you can hear some familiar voices.

A large big balloon pops over your head, spraying you with confetti.

The party makes their way towards the castle.
The main road is rather straightforward, and paved, making the trip easy. The way is lined with ruined buildings, but you can see no movement on your way there.
You arrive near the castle, and you're among some buildings that look like barracks, as you can hear tile fall off a roof and crash.

But there's nothing there.
Wait, was that a black shadow on the edge of you vision?
>>77665
I don't even know how to describe it.
I guess you just fail.
>>77670
You can see two rather large claws.
In front of your face.
They claw at you, and then grab you by your back and lift you to the ground, immediately dropping you.
Roll to see what kind of damage you suffer.
In any case, you're helpless, and the creature vanishes again.

You climb a bell tower, giving you a magnificent vantage point over the area. There are three rows of barracks and a very wide street between your position and the castle walls. The castle's inner courtyard is huge, and you can't see any guards there.
The bat is nowhere to be seen for now.
>>77684
"Okie dokie!"
You fall upon a soft mattress in someone's old bedroom.
You suffer no damage whatsoever from the fall. You're not helpless either.
>>77689
You pull 'er good. Straight towards you. You can see it's a bat before it barrels at you, pushing you over with greath strength.
It then vanishes again.
>>77691
You can see every time the bat 'vanishes', it actually turns into dozens of normal bats that spread into every possible direction.
Following the bats, you can see where he's gonna form next.
+1 to your next action as long as you attack it.
For the rest it's DC8.
Fetcher is a few blocks away.
It just rained, making your coat all soggy and your mood sour.
Suddenly you can hear the commotion from far away, your good sense of hearing allowing you to pinpoint the direction.

You blast a hole in the bat's wing, sending it tumbling into the ground.
Just as it hits, instead of a satisfying thud, it disperses into a swarm of bats that just fly away.
>>77724
You're in a old timey bedroom. There's a large double bed and a drawer there, most of the room is intact, save for the hole in the ceiling.

>>77736
Of course there's a window.
You can see the bat just as it disperses, and where it goes; It's headed for the top of the castle.
You also check the drawers. Not much is there; an empty locket in the shape of a heart and a tattered family picture.

There are two rather sick looking guards there. They don't say anything, just breathe heavily.
There's a rusty bell there, and under it is a sign that reads "employees".

"Uhhuh…so you see, I have some…limitations. I can't operate during the daytime, for example. I need good PR people. You see, it's in my family's best interest if we control this city and it's…resources."
>>78009
For a second, you can see the party swinging at nothing until you too are engulfed by the hot, steamy jungle.
>>78013
It sure is. You can hear hissing too.
>>78015
It's a snake about the size of a pony.
Actually, it's face is kind of ponylike.
It lunges at you, but you manage to dodge it.
The snake then disappears.
>>78019
Nope, but you can feel a fever building up.
"Don't worry little pony, I am not a vampire…"
Everyone can hear a feminine voice.
"Jungles were never my thing…"

"Really? What a shame. I guess I have no use for you then."
He just rises from his chair and leaves the room, looking disappointed.
The floor from under you disappears, as you're thrown into a dark chute. Roll to see if you get damaged on your way down.
>>78026
You heal the wound.
>>78025
You lose your shit just a little
you might have called for Card and Aurelia to help
>>78026
"I don't really like cold climates. My skin always dries up."
>>78028
>>78029
"Balls!"
Suddenly you're in a large ball room in Canterlot.
There are dozens of ponies around you, but they seem somewhat hazy.
One sharp image among the crowd is a tall, lithe mare. Her coat is pale and her mane is done up according to the latest fashion.
>>78032
You open the doors and leave to the entrance hall.
Or so you thought.
It was a lot less decorated then.
And there were no ponies there either.
"Oh don't you just love balls? The cream of the crowd, all gathered in one place! Not a scrawny commoner to be seen!"

>>78049
As your bullet pierces the mare, suddenly a dozen replicas of that same mare appear around the room.
"Oh, I can't have you ruin my fun just yet~!"
>>78053
You can hear an all too familiar voice from behind you.
"Inquisitor Neith!"
As you turn around, you see Celestia herself before you.
>>78054
Okay, you're back in the ol' safe entrance hall.
It's dark, damp and dusty, just the way it was a moment ago.
You can still see the illusion inside the great hall though.
>>78058
You keep your eye on anything suspicious.

You cut down two.
>>78071
they all sway to the rhythm the same.
>>78072
Death makes a pointless cameo.
"You called?"
>>78074
You cut down three replicas.
"I guess the fun's over…"
All of the remaining replicas cast a fireball directed at Card.
That's seven fireballs and only one of them is the right one.
DC9 to dodge.

Gets hit with the brunt of it. He skids across the floor from the impact.
"Are you sure? You don't look like you're doing too well."
>>78085
Needless to say, you're helpless.
>>78093
You can see them in the crowd, fighting the illusions.
>>78097
"Maybe later, love."
You need to roll a 10 or get hit by a fireball.

Nope, you do a somersault in the air and land on your head.
you have 3 wounds remaining.
>>78107
She giggles a bit at your show.
>>78104
Well, you manage to ease the pain.
>>78101
She replicates one more.
>>78111
You destroy four illusions.
>>78103
Your glorious solo inspires your allies, but leaves you a wreck.
The mare sees this as an opportunity, and throws her fireballs at you.

You stagger back to your hooves

You manage to dodge all the balls of fire, and even get back to your hooves.
Then

Everyone gets plus one to their next rolls.
>>78157
For a while, it seems as if her essence is transporting between the illusions.
But then…
One of the illusions is always sharper than the rest.
The one in the party's back.
>>78162
>>78161
Through your combined efforts, 15 illusions remain
>>78166
BOOM!
A fireball lands near you, burning your coat
you're on your last wound

You make sure that her last moments are filled with unimaginable terror you wouldn't, nay, couldn't wish on your worst foe, as
>>78175
Aurelia stabs her silvery spear through her throat, making her choke in her own blood
>>78177
Ali shoots her up so you couldn't recognize the body as that of a pony, showering gore around the floor, ripping her fine gown to shreds, and blasting her brains to the walls.
>>78182
And finally Neith blasts the remains to high heavens, leaving but a red stain on the cold stone floor that once again shows itself after the witch is dead.
>>78174
You stagger to your broken feet
You think you're bleeding internally
But a good solid 10 to heal you right now ought to do the trick
Seriously
Anything less will just rupture what little is intact inside of you
The vampire laughs.
"Ooh! Good show! Good show! I never thought Eve could hold up against you!"
