Previously on Crypt Quest the party was split into two groups by the Twins. Each group encountered a troupe of ghouls. One party fought and the others hid. Just when things were about to get bad for each party the ghouls stopped their attack and the metal slabs keeping the groups from progressing were opened. After a bit of mental prompting from the Twins the two groups were reunited. Once the party talked with the twins for a little bit the party sealed them in a room with some ghouls.

The party currently stands in a small stone room with a flooded floor. To the north is a hallway leading to the room where Pomelo and Happyhorn were stuck. To the east is a hallway clogged with a thick tangle of roots; behind the roots is a thick iron slab. To the south is a large tunnel that has been dug through the rock wall and the dirt behind it. The entrance is set above the water so the tunnel is dry.

You cannot spot any obvious signs of traps, but every few feet there are designs made out of bones and blood on the dirt walls. These continue all along the tunnel for as far as you can see. After rounding a bend in the tunnel you can see some light from up ahead.

The three of you arrive in the room that the party could see from the other end of the hallway when they first arrived on this level. This room looks much the same as the others and is flooded. On the wall to your left is the lever that the Twins used to control the metal slabs and false walls in the hallway. Straight ahead is a passage leading into the darkness. To the right is an open door that leads to the flooded hallway.

You cannot tell what it is, but you notice some dirt break free of the wall and tumble down to the floor. Something about it feels wrong to you.

Looking through the broken mesh window you can see that all the other slabs are raised and that the false wall is blocking the passage to where the Twins are trapped. The lever for the handle is on the ground on the side of the slab opposite you.

>>119562
The floor rises until it is out of the water then becomes flat once again. As you round a bend in the tunnel you can see a large, long room that is faintly lit by dimly burning torches. The left and right wall each have three openings on them and at the very back are three coffins.

The coffin closest to the wall is the the largest and fanciest. The insides are plush and comfortable looking, and lined with rich purple silk. The coffin has a small latch on the inside so that whoever is inside can lock it to keep it from being opened. Looking closely reveals metal plates hidden between the linings and the wood on the sides to make the coffin sturdier. This one is obviously for the Twins' master.

The two smaller coffins are old, but look as if they have been polished and cleaned recently. The insides have a stale smell of death hidden beneath the lemony fresh scent of fabric cleaner. Old, faded red silk lines the inside of the coffins, but there is no cushioning other than that. Both of these coffins are side by side and lack latches and metal plates. These ones are obviously for the Twins and look as if they were taken from this very crypt.

>>119569
You take the torch to the left of the opening and look through. The torch reveals a circular room with a thick stone pillar in the center. The pillars and the walls have recesses in them. Above each recess is a small metal plate with writing carved into it, and in each recess is a closed coffin.

There is a sturdy latch on the inside of the coffin that can be used by whoever is inside to lock the coffin. There is a small button that, when pressed, causes part of the inside to light up. This is probably a reading lamp of some sort.

Looking back at the tunnel you can see small clumps of dirt falling from the sides and top. As you watch the clumps grow larger and larger before the dirt itself seems to come alive and fill in the tunnel. Just when the dirt seems to stop moving two large arms reach out of the dirt wall and grab on the the hole in the stonework. They pull, and out comes a large, brown head followed by a thick body and two strong legs. The thing resembles a diamond dog, but it is made of stone and dirt and stands twice as tall as Blink. Inside of attacking the party it turns and punches its fist into the wall. When it removes the fist it pulls out another creature just like it. They both turn to look at the party, then roar.

Previously on Crypt Quest the party gained entrance to the vampire's lair and did a bit of exploring. In the top two side rooms on the left are coffins put into receptacles meant for them. In the bottom room on the left are a pile of old, dead skeletons. The room on the top right is full of books, and also has a few old foal's books. The middle room on the right has more books, but these look like the ones in the lich's room. The room on the bottom right is full of traveling gear. At the bottom of the room are three coffins meant for the vampires. In the had vampires coffin they found armor plates and a lock to protect anyone inside. They also found charcoal drawings of a unicorn stallion, a pegasus mare, and two unicorn foals. To the left of the coffins there is a strange circle on the ceiling that reminds anyone who looks at it of the staircase they took down from the lich's room.

The two torches from the top of the room have been taken by the party. There is a mass of roots under the thing on the ceiling. Pomelo made a mess of the room with the traveling supplies in them. The party can feel that the vampire will be back soon.

With a loud crack the circle descends and a staircase spirals down. The circular stone glows as it touches the floor before sinking into it and leaving the staircase looking like it was always there. Three ponies walk down the staircase, each of them looking straight ahead but never missing a step. They stop once they reach the bottom and a unicorn stallion follows them down. He is wearing a black cape, and his green coat is so pale that it is nearly white. As he steps off the last step his horn glows and the staircase loudly retracts into the ceiling along with the round, glowing stone.

The unicorn stallion pauses and looks around the room once the staircase grows quiet, then shrugs and begins positioning the ponies by the coffins. As he works he calls out in a loud voice.

Previously on Crypt Quest the party got ready ready for, and then fought the vampire that had beaten the lich and stolen part of his crypt. The party was able to clean up the messes they had made and hide just in time to avoid being found by the vampire as he returned with three hypnotized ponies. They waited too long before springing their ambush and were nearly foiled when the vampire used his hypnotic voice to coax Happyhorn out of her hiding spot. During the fighting Pomelo was able to lead the hypnotised ponies to a side room while the rest of the party kicked the vampire's ass. Surprised by the strength of their assault he turned into a cloud of smoke and sicced some ghouls on them. While fighting his minions a few party members noticed him trying to get to the ponies he had brought and were able to stop him. Once his ghouls were defeated he became solid again and promptly had the shit beaten out of him. Once again turning into smoke he sicced some more ghouls on the party before going for the hypnotised ponies again. This time the party failed to stop him thanks to Andelia becoming hypnotised and guarding the room he and the ponies were in.

When we left things off Andelia had given the vampire a cut on the neck and he had punched Dreamkicker across the room. Dreamkicker is Helpless and away from the party.

After punching Dreamkicker the vampire shifts his weight and bucks you in the face. His attack, plus the attacks you suffered at the hooves of your friends, is enough to unbalance you and send you falling helplessly to the floor. He spits out a wad of black sludge and rubs the rapidly healing gash across his throat, but before he can speak…

You slam into his side and push him away from Andelia.

You jump to the side to avoid a nugget he shoots at you, then hit him with a bolt of lightning. He grits his teeth as the electicity courses through him.

Staying where you are you pick up your mace with you magic and smash it against the black of his head. His magic falters for half a second, but he regains his focus and shoots you a dirty look.

He laughs and fires the last of the nuggets that he caught at you. It hits you in the chest and the entire party can hear one of your ribs snap.
"What about the three you helped me take?"

>>125669
Taking advantage of his distraction you strike him in the flank with your axe. When you pull it free the blade is covered in thick black gunk. The vampire turns to smoke and reappears on the other side of the party.

The dark powers that the lich uses to guard his crypt, darkened even further by the vampire, corrupt your healing spell and cause her broken rib to push halfway out of her chest.

She is already standing so instead you carefully push the rib back in.

>>125674
The vampire stands there as you charge, then turns to smoke at the last possible second. Having to much inertia to stop or change course you keep charging and slam into the wall behind him. The impact rattles you and forces you to sit down before you lose your balance. You are now Helpless.

You drink a foul tasting concoction and feel your rib fuse back together..

You fly forwards and hit him in the jaw with a right hook. He ducks under you and tries to run off…

But some roots climb out of the ground under him and wrap around his legs. He has an annoyed look on his face as he turns to smoke and slips free of their grasp.

He reappears next to you, then punches you in the nose.
"I am going to have so much fun redecorating your face when this is over."

"You and your friends tried to murder my children. I'll order you around and hurt any of them that I want!"

>>125709
He steps to the side and grabs Andelia's spear, pushing it forwards to cut you as you charge past while Andelia recovers from his gaze.

>>125710
>>125712
He grits his teeth and his legs go stiff as you hit him with lightning again. A bit of smoke rises from his back.

You stab his guts and pull out. Smoke rises from the wound as it stitches back together, leaving a small scar. He growls an insult but before he can speak…

>>125750
You some foul god, the very opposite of Pinkie Pie, laughing as your cure spell goes horribly wrong and causes the black blood in Korrin's system to multiply. On the bright side, Korrin can now see a little better in the dark.

>>125751
You take a few seconds to regain your balance then smash both of his back legs with two well placed shots.

>>125753
You move closer until your crossbow is only a foot away from his chest, then fire. Then bolt pierces his withered heart and leave only its fletching sticking out. The vampire shrieks as what might have once been blood seeps out around the wound.

>>125756
You spear is more of a stabbing weapon than a chopping weapon, but that doesn't stop you from trying to cut off his head. Black ichor starts to ooze out of his neck.

>>125757
You push her aside and chop at his neck with your axe. The weapon gets caught on his vertebrae and does not go all the way through.

Before the party can attack again the vampire turns to smoke and flees to his coffin where he reforms. He searches through his coffin for something, but when he cannot find it he roars and turns to the party.
"WHO HAS THEM? WHICH ONE OF YOU HAS THE PICTURES? YOU CANNOT HAVE THEM! THEY ARE MINE, MINE!"

He looks around, a wild look in his eyes.
"Children! Where are you! Answer me! Please!"

He cocks his head as if trying to listen to something. His face falls, then becomes angry as he looks at the party.
"You killed them! They won't answer me because you killed them! I'll kill you! I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!"

He starts to convulse and his bones snap as his body starts to change. His legs, chest, and neck stretch as he grows large enough to rival Celestia. His coat falls off his body and his back splits as two large, leathery wings grow and unfold. His ears grow larger and more batlike and his snout extends while his eyes grow smaller and his mouth fills with fangs. His hooves break apart and grow into claws that he uses to rip the lid off his coffin and throw it at the party.

They stop at the top of the stairs to wave to the party, then vanish into the night.

The stars and moon cast enough light to illuminate the edge of the corner of the the graveyard they are in and heavily burdened shapes trundling towards the nearby forest. The light's from the town shine like a beacon as the party walks out through a freshly made hole in the fence and back to town for some rest and their reward.

The vampire is dead. After a bloody fight the party was able to corner and decapitate him. Although a few of them may have questioned his sanity after the fight it wasn't until Olga questioned his spirit that they learned just how insane he truly was. While that was happening Pomelo and Dreamkicker shared a spaghetti dinner. The lich came to congratulate the party, but was more concerned with the displaced dead then them and teleported away to fix the damaged done to the skeletons. Pomelo and Dreamkicker finished their meal with an admission of friendship and a kiss, which the Twins saw as they entered the room. They split their attention between teasing the two new friends and talking with the party, before Pomelo demanded their entire attention by grabbing Dreamkicker's junk while they watched. They were impressed, but time waits for no pony. Goodbyes were said, a gift or two was exchanged, and the party followed the Twins out of the Crypt just in time to see a few ghouls disappear into the forest surrounding the town. It being too late to do anything else, the party retired to the Trotston Inn for the night.

It is early morning, and the sun is just starting to creep through the windows and around the curtains to slowly rouse the party members from whatever beds they chose. Having such a large amount of money coming their way the party could have easily chosen different rooms if they so desired.

He looks down at the ground.
"My dad died when I was just a little foal. My mom went missing a few weeks ago and Rock is looking after me until she gets found."

He pushes open a door and leads you into the forge. A large Diamond Dog has his back to you and his hammering away at something on and anvil.
"Mr. Rock! This mare wants some armor made for her."

The diamond dog swings his hammer a few more times, then grabs the piece of metal he was working on and dunks it in a nearby bucket before turning around to look at you.
"Hello, miss. What sort of armor are you looking for?"

He takes it from you and looks at it for a few seconds.
"Alright. Hold still while I take your measurements."

He takes some measuring tape off a nearby bench then crouches down next to you. He is about to start when he makes a shooing motion instead, which is followed by the sound of a door quickly shutting and little hooves running across a floor. Once that is done he starts to take your measurements.
"Heh, little scamp. Are you sure I cannot interest you in something with a bit more metal instead?"

Let's just assume he stormed off.
The stallion slide the barrier back up and looks at the two of you looking at him.
"Hmmmm, hardly anyone ever comes down here. Aw, why the hell not."

He grabs a closed sign, levitates it over to a hook on the door, then closes it. After that he pulls a Mnieghpoly game board out from under the counter and starts setting it up.

Over the next few days the party finished up whatever business they had in town and left in ones or twos or threes to go back to their old lives or on to brand new adventures. A collection of Equestrian Royal Guards were sent to the town to investigate the claims of lich living under the cemetery. After a lot of digging all that could be found under the graveyard was abnormally shallow bedrock. Dreamkicker returned to Canterlot with Pomelo and Bessy. The three of them had great fun there, although two of them may have had more fun than the third. Olga returned to her village to keep serving as a necromancer and sexchange specialist. Andelia traveled with Mirabelle for a spell then returned home to find a letter from the Twins telling her about their own adventures thus far. The others know what they went on to do, and at the end of the day that is all that really matters.

The End.
