Last time on The Darkest Days the party started their quest to find Lena, the missing daughter of Mayor Krell. Visiting the school, the party managed to talk to one of Lena's friends who informed them of a colt she hung out with before disappearing. Who this colt is and where the filly had disappeared to however, is still unknown.
Everyone but Reelio is right outside the school building. It's starting to get darker outside, a day has passed.

The party retraces their steps and quickly find the same tavern they passed by earlier. Even though the door and windows are closed, you can still hear the sound of talking and music coming from the inside. As you open the door and walk inside, your nose immediately picks up the smell of booze and other odors typical for your average tavern.
Inside you can see a bunch of ponies sitting at the bar itself, talking loudly to each other and only interrupting their train of thought for the occasional swig of their pint of beer.
A lone pony is sitting at one of the tables in the corner of the room, reading an old tattered map.
You also see three other people sitting at another table. One of them, a unicorn, is wearing a blindfold and seems to be talking to a unicorn filly. The third one appears to be a Diamond dog clad in very intimidating heavy iron armor and is sharpening a huge waraxe while seemingly listening to the two ponies chatting away.

Before you can even complete this sentence, somepony hurls a large wooden mug at your face, giving you a black eye and drenching your coat in beer.
"Halt die Klappe!"
>>155522
You like what you see.
You really like what you see.
You decide to give that flank a loud and lewd-sounding smack as she approaches the party to ask if they want to order anything.
Needless to say, she is less than pleased and punches you on the nose!
"If you're here für troublemachen zen you are at ze wrong address!"
>>155526
The waitress is yelling too loudly for you to discern what they are talking about.
They've stopped talking and are looking at the party now anyway. Two of them are, at least.

You easily block the punch she throws at you. She's still slightly red in a mixture of anger and embarrassment.
"No funny business, you hear me?"
>>155537
"Rotwein öder Wei-"
>>155538
The mare is interrupted as you punch her on the shoulder.
Hard.
Very hard.
She collapses on the ground, whimpering in pain and clutching her hurting shoulder.
The mare wearing the blindfold gets up from her seat and draws her sword.
"What is going on here!? Am I going to have to start arresting dissidents!?"
The dog continues his business, as if nothing is happening.

"Verpiss Dich! Get off of me you Schwein!"
>>155558
The dog grumbles something inaudible but doesn't acknowledge your existence any further.
In the meantime the blindfolded mare is still standing on the same exact spot, as if awaiting an answer before deciding what to do.

'twas but an act! You swiftly get back on your hooves, pulling the mare back up on her hooves. She still seems a little angry, but at least you didn't fuck up even more, right?
>>155567
"Oh.. okay then!"
The mare returns to her seat quietly, the diamond silently shaking his head at her
>>155573
She's more than okay. She's quite the looker… for a pony that is.

The mare shrugs and simply heads back to the bar.
You head over to the table where the dog and the mare are sitting, the dog still sharpening his axe undisturbed, and knock on it, causing the mare to startle.
"Oh no. I'm not from around here you see, just your run-of-the-mill inquisitor on a business trip!"

>>155604
"Missing daughters, just what I need. More news about missing fillies. What has the world come too now."

She's not the only one who has disappeared, but she is the first important pony I heard of that disappeared. Usually it's just old and lonely ponies that nopony will miss that'll disappear. Or criminals! They mysteriously disappear as well, never to be found again…"
>>155653
"He's a VAMPIRE!"
>>155656
"I am a professional! Inquisitors have noses for this kind of stuff. And tools, that too."
She takes out a set of bronze weighing scales out of her bag.
"Like this!"

You are lucky this is your first roll
You fuck up, whether because of pressure to perform well or inexperience is not known. What is known is that you are now on top of a building a little ahead of the party. The roof you are standing on is quite slippery and doesn't allow for much grip.
Roll to not slip and fall to the ground
>>155672
"Not for killing him! This allows me to find baddies!"
>>155677
"It's an enchanted all seeing eye!"
She moves the scales up to you. They light up in a bright yellow light for a moment before they go back to normal
"You don't even care about the law! You bad, bad pony!"

You slip and do a backflip in the air, falling to the ground.
Rolling to see if Justicia can catch you with her telekinesis
>>155695
You sanic your way over to the filly in danger in an attempt to catch her. You forget to use your air brakes however and instead crash right through one of the windows in said building. You end up landing in a bedroom where two ponies are busy with very intimate activities. You recognize one of them as the teacher that yelled at you earlier. The mare he's with shrieks and runs out of the room.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?"

You slip in a puddle of water and fall over facefirst into the muddy ground

"Well, being a filly is no excuse for such rash actions of mine. THe fire of youth is still aflame and it consumes my better judgement. Apologies." I dusted myself and bowed to my betters. Underneath I am still ashamed and angry at myself for such humiliation.

"Uh right…"
The mare stops for a moment, as if she's trying to recall where she was going with this.
"Right! The vampire! Herr Grimmwalt is a member of the city council, though he always works through representatives. He rarely leaves his mansion, few ponies have ever seen him. But I figured out why! He's a vampire and abducts ponies to feast on their blood! It all makes sense."

The mare doesn't see you reaction and keeps smiling as she continues
"Yes! My magic scales and research have led me to this conclusion! Like I said, I'm a professional! For instance, he's never been seen walking in daylight! And… he lives in what is said to be a very creepy mansion!"

>>155834
"Uhhh, sure. Just don't damage them!"
Using her telekinesis, she hoofs the weighing scales over to you.

"Too hard on me? Oh no, not at all! Don't worry about it, I understand. Shall we?"
The diamond dog starts walking again and Justicia, hearing his footsteps, follows suit.

The dog grumbles something inaudibly but keeps quiet otherwise.
"See? He's lovely!"
>>158622
She's blind, why would you bow to her?
The party leaves the city through one of the large citygates, the few guards that are around look at you rather confusedly. The countryside surrounding the city looks equally murky and depressing. The trees are bare, as are the fields, just like one would expect during wintertime.
In the distance you can see a large mansion perched on top of a hill, similar to the one where the mayor lives. It's getting very late and hard to see where you walk, though neither of your two guides seem to have much trouble with that.

The inquisitor mare has a suspiciously pale coat…
She must be a vampire herself! It all makes sense now!
After a bit of a walk, following the path up to the mansion, the party reaches the gates to the garden in front of the mansion. Strangely enough, they are wide open. The mansion itself is very impressive looking, though appears to be in a certain state of disrepair. You can barely see any lights through the windows, making the mansion look rather creepy.

"No, no I'm fine!"
The mare staggers off to someplace else, far away from the actual door.
The diamond dog shakes his head silently and knocks heavily on the door a few times, after which he collects the inquisitor and leads her to the door.
After a short while, the large wooden door creaks open as the knocking is answered. A old and skinny stallion dressed as a butler opens it up.
"Verehrte Gäste, sie werden erwartet."
He motions you to come in.

You snort at the reaction of the mare.

The party follows the stallion inside the mansion. The large entrance hall you are in is dimly lit with a couple of candles as well as a chandelier. Everything seems rather dusty and uncleaned in here. There are quite a few cobwebs around and the dust in the air makes your nose tickle.
"Entschuldigung für den Schlamassel…"
"Schlawhattel? Sir? Can you speak English? My name is Justicia and I want to have an audience with Herr Grimmwalt."
The stallion doesn't bother to respond and instead opens up one of the doors in the room and walks through without looking back.
>>161220
She huffs a little annoyingly.
"I don't have any trouble, I'm doing ju-"
This is as far as the mare gets with her response as all of you are suddenly enveloped in a very bright light and a very high pitched screech can be heard, making your eyes and ears hurt like hell.

You grab onto the nearest thing, a wooden barrel floating in the water. Looking around in the room, you can't see much as it is quite dark. You do see a tunnel which could be used as an exit out of this room. There's also water in it but it's less high up. There's more than enough room for a adult pony to stand.

You do, you clutched it very closely when the light came.
Lighting your horn, you can see that you are in a rather small cell together with Reelio. There isn't much in it at all aside from a dead rat lying on the floor.

No torches here boss. Good thing Uriah has made some light.
>>161286
You break the surface of the water and take a few deep breaths. Smells awful in here!
>>161288
Confused and disoriented, you accidentally swim downwards instead of upwards.
Might want to get some breath soon.

Your magic is far from completely stable. While you could indeed try to teleport out of here, a bad enough of a failure could lead to instant death for everyone involved
>>161343
You put your ear against the door. You can hear some voices as well as a strange mechanical sound.
>>161348
You hear the same.

>>161357
The three of you gather around in a circle and hold each others' hooves. Blaze concentrates, closing her eyes and lighting her horn. After a few moments of fizzling sparkles coming from her horn, the three of you are enveloped in a bright light. Blaze feels as if something is weird though. As if an external force is redirecting her magic towards a different location.
The three of you blink back into existence. As you open your eyes and the light around you fades away, you see that you find yourself inside a long hallway with celldoors on both sides of the walls. You can also see Uriah and Reelio standing by a large wooden door at the end of the hallway.
Blaze's head and horn hurts a little, and she wonders what went wrong.

No roll was required.
The two of you each grasp a handle and pull the door open. What you see inside is an image you wont soon forget. Four hooded ponies are in the process of torturing another pony, using some kind of a contraption. The rest of the room is filled with all kinds of devices that can be used for various ways of torture. The room smells foul, a mixture of the smell of vomit and death entering your nose and making you gag. The floor is dirty and bloody, as are the walls. The four ponies all turn to you at the same time the moment you open the door, hissing and screeching loud enough to make you wince. They all look very pale and have a sharp set of teeth, their eyes are bloodshot and have a feral look to them.
They all lunge at you, determined to tear you all to bloody shreds.
Roll for initiative

"It certainly was rude, Not a proper host at all." I scoff a bit. "I would guess that they were expecting someone to come check on them and this was their way of dealing with us. I also think that that mare was in on it the whole time and was waiting at the bar to pick up victims for the vampire!"

You are too slow to react, one of the creatures manages to get close to you and tries slashing at you with a dagger. Your armor completely protects you from said attack though, leaving you unharmed.
>>161418
Your silly flailing leaves you open for attack, one of the ponies lunges at you, sinking its sharp teeth into one of your legs. You can feel how it begins to suck out your blood, might want to do something about that!
>>161421
One of the four pounces you, digging its claws into your skin.
Wait what? Claws? Those look quite unnatural on a pony…
>>161422
The final one of the four also lunges at you, but is met with a strong hoof smashing his face in, breaking one of his fangs and sending him tumbling backwards on the floor.
>>161434
Seeing your chance, you decide to grasp it and try to finish this unfortunate pony off with a incinerating blast of fire. The pony gets burned horribly and is set on fire. It howls in pain and tries to pat the fire out.

Nope, looks like this pony likes you a lot and wants to hug you some more.
With its claws.
Into your skin.
Ouch.
>>161442
You bash the creature in its face with your banner, looks like all that practice hitting things with it paid off! It stops sucking out blood and staggers back a little, growling dangerously. After a moment it decides to attack again, aiming for your neck this time.
>>161443
You swing your sword at the pony but he jumps back a little, dodging the blow.
It then spits a dark murky cloud of… whatever that may be at you.
Roll to dodge
>>161444
The pony, seeing your craving for some love as well, jumps off of Alesa and lunges at you instead, knocking you to the ground. It plunges its fangs deep into your neck and starts sucking your delicious red vitae. This new lovestory is quickly interrupted however as Blaze >>161446 continues to pretend to be a dragon and incinerates your assailant in a roaring blast of fire. It lets go of you and starts running around in an attempt to get rid of the fire.
Two ponies are on fire and slowly dying, one is very lightly wounded, the other one is in perfect health

Your spell backfires on you and lights your mane on fire.
Two remain. One is heavily wounded, the other wounded and blind. The blind one seems to be preparing some kind of a spell.

He's still busy preparing a spell, but is slowed down due to this distraction.

You put out your fiery mane. A large part of it is missing and there rest of it is blackened and scorched.
It also smells terrible, ewwww.

You open up the trapdoor completely and enter the library. It's quite dark in here and it doesn't look very safe, but you decide to take the time to see what these books are about.
There's books about magic, necromancy, healing, nature, herbs, combat tactics, strategy, politics, animals, economy and just about every subject imaginable!

You feel how someone pinches you in the buttocks. But when you turn around there is nopony to be seen.
>>161680
You hear a slight giggle
"I'm sorry, but I wasn't even trying to hit you. Just catching your attention."
She speaks with a slight Germane accent
>>161681
"I've seen better days."
>>161682
"Yes."
A pony appears on top of one of the shelves. She's wearing a cloak and a mask, hiding almost her entire body. All you can see are her wings, which are very pale.
It's a book about the duties of paladins, the different orders and holy organizations in the world.

"Oh alright princess, anything else you want? A massage? A cup of tea while waiting? She's not here right now. She and her companion are in a safe spot. I'll go get them once we're done here."

She giggles
"I like you."
>>161700
Her eyes are hidden under the shadow of her cloak. Though this doesn't hide the fact that she feels quite intimidated by your loud voice.
"I'm bound to this mansion. To Grimmwalt. Trying to escape would lead to the same kind of treatment as that pony you saw earlier. Even with my skills there's no way to escape for me."
She takes her hood and mask off, revealing an equally pale face and a nice set of fangs sticking out of her mouth.
"I'm bound to him by blood."

>>161703
"When you arrived here and were about to walk straight to Grimmwalt, I asked my companion to teleport you away to buy me some time so I could find a way to help."
She takes out a small wooden chest and hoofs it over to you.
"Take this. Inside there are five blessed silver daggers. Those will make your lives easier around here. Just… don't take them out while I'm around alright?"
>>161707
"It's quite simple, I'm afraid. You have to take down Grimmwalt. I've seen him take foals, yes. They… They usually don't survive for long."
She shifts on her hooves awkwardly
"There… There is one thing I'm very reluctant to ask you for…"

The vampire mare sucks out a substantial amount of blood, before releasing and quickly backing off.
"I'm… I'm sorry… I lost control again..."
It's a good thing you've got a lot of blood, because just from that you feel slightly weaker. The mare puts her mask back on as well as her hood, hiding her facial features once more
"Thank you… I can only hope that soon I wont have to do such atrocious acts to sustain myself anymore."

After a bit of walking the party comes across the butler from before that let them inside. He's lying on the floor, leaning slightly against the wall
"Don't worry, I took him out while you guys were walking along earlier."
The mare appears right in front of the party again, blinking in out of seemingly nowhere. She points at a large set of doors at the end of the hallway.
"Grimmwalt's quarters. He's in there. Good luck. Be careful. All that fun stuff."

Last time on The Darkest Days
The party entered the lair of Herr Grimmwalt, following the pointers of inquisitor Justicia who claimed that the noble was a vampire. As they entered the mansion, the party was teleported away to the basement. There they fought several of the lords' thralls in the torture chamber, who were pestering a frenzied vampire pony. As they found their way up again and entered the library they met with another vampire pony, who claimed to be friendly and able to help out. The party found out that she was the one responsible for teleporting them out of the deathtrap. After hoofing out several blessed silver daggers, the mare asked the party if she could take some of their blood, to which they complied. The party is now in a hallway with the vampire mare. at the end of the hallway you can see a set of double wooden doors, which the mare claims to be the private quarters of Grimmwalt.
"So to recap the plan… you guys will go in and confront Herr Grimmwalt, providing enough distraction for me to go fetch your two buddies. Once I've collected them, we'll enter the fray and help you out. That sound good?"
The mare shifts on her hooves nervously.

>>165431
You charge in, opening the doors in one swift motion and entering the room. The vampire mare doesn't follow you, instead disappearing again into nothingness.
The room itself is a large bedroom, with a king-sized bed in the middle of it. There are several other large wooden pieces of furniture you would expect to find in a bedroom standing about, all of them richly decorated. At one of said pieces of furniture, a dark brown desk with golden legs, an old and meek looking stallion is sitting and writing down something on a piece of parchment.
He looks up at you as you barge inside and frowns as he puts away his quill and stands up.
"Guten abend?"

>>165448
His eyes widen at the mention of the word 'vampire'
"Foreigners!? But how did you get here so easily? Who are you?"
>>165453
You can't find a way to blind the stallion
"You barge into my home and expect me to be answering questions? How dare you!? Filthy wastrels!"
>>165468
He cackles at your sad attempt to scare him
"HA, was für Narren sind sie!?"
The stallion chants some lines in a strange language and disappears in a puff of smoke. The smokecloud quickly expands, soon filling up the entire room. From the smoke you see a large shadow coming towards you. Whatever it is, it's big and it's got large red eyes which pierce right through you, as if it is looking into your very soul.

Uriah's attempt to terrify him may have been bad, but this is just sad. Awful even. You can clearly see it's a terrible attempt at illusion magic.
As soon as you hit it it completely disappears from sight, the smoke in the room clearing up slightly as well. You hear some kind of hissing coming from somewhere inside the room but you aren't sure where. You can't see anyone, at least.
Everyone roll

The three of you have the common sense to look up at the ceiling and see the vampire walking upside down on it. His eyes are bloodshot and his fangs are clearly visible now
>>165526
You look around, desperately trying to find out where the sound is coming from. Before you can figure out it's coming from above however, the vampire lunges at you and pins you to the ground whilst cackling loudly again and trying to get a clear shot at your neck.
"Oh you're going to be just delicious! I can feel it! CHILDREN! COME AND FEAST WITH ME!"
Five more pale ponies blink in out of nowhere, two of them you recognizes as the ones you fought before. They hiss dangerously and charge at you.

>>165569
You quickly stab one of the charging ponies in the side. You can hear a hissing sound as the holy blade pierces through its skin. It lets out a blood curling howl in pain and tries to bite you.
>>165570
You can't find your blade anymore and are unable to push the vampire away. And just as he is about to plunge his sharp teeth into your neck…
>>165571
>Bear Bash
… comes in and plunges his dagger into the vampire instead! The vampire screams in agony and loses his grip on you, putting some distance between him and the both of you.
>>165574
They don't seem all too afraid, though they decide not to attack you this turn either.
>>165579
You mess up your timing somehow. Instead of setting the three thralls ablaze, you set yourself into a fiery blaze.
You fall down on the ground hurt, burned and helpless. All of your fur, your entire mane and your tail gone up in smoke.

>>165588
You heal the filly's burns the best you can at the moment. At least she's not suffering as badly as before.
>>165594
You try to attack the vampire again, but his reflexes are too quick. Instead he smashes you in the face, sending you tumbling down on the ground. The stallion looms over you, a large grin on his face.
"I'll make sure to make your death even more painful now. I will make you beg for me to kill you, schweinhund!"
>>165595
As the thrall tries to bit you, you see your opportunity to strike back and plunges your dagger through its eye. The holy blade makes his brain erupt, his head splattering open in a gory mess and his body falling to the ground.
>>165599
You barely manage to get up, eyes full of tears of pain and regret… Then >>165589 comes over and kicks you back to the ground, stomping on your leg and breaking it.
You are still helpless and once again wounded.
4 thralls remain. And the vampire too of course.

>>165608
You lunge forward with lightning speed and poke him in both his eyes. He screams and falls over on his back, yelling at you.
"VERDAMMTE SAFTSACK!"
+2 against him the next two turns
One of his thralls lunges at you.
>>165607
You run around her in circles, panicking and apologizing profusely
One of the vampire thralls sees this as a opportunity to strike and charges at you.
>>165609
You try to fix her leg by putting it back into place. Instead, you tug a little too hard. The bone is now sticking out of a large bleeding wound, blood pouring out of it.
>>165612
As you try to help her using a mixture of strong herbs, the filly suddenly starts shaking and twisting around violently. Looks like she's suffering from a serious seizure now.
>>165621
You are just crying your heart out at this point. You feel your strength slowly ebbing away… Your thoughts wandering to home, to your parents, your friends and the rest of your family. You feel a pool of wetness forming around you too as you have all these thoughts.
Don't fuck up next turn.

>>165662
You plunge your dagger into the blinded vampire's neck this time. The blessed metal searing its flesh and making it howl in a mixture of agony and rage.
"I WILL DESTROY YOU!"
>>165643
The thrall easily dodges your blow and bites down on your leg.
>>165647
Clearly, it doesn't. Nothing changes. You manage to do exactly nothing. Nada. Nichts. Null. Naught. Niets.
At least you managed to shield the filly from that thrall. You know, the one that just bit down his fangs into your flank.
>>165653
Before you can try to heal the unfortunate filly, you are pushed to the ground by another thrall, who tries to bite down on your neck.
>>165649
Yes, you do think back of your mom. Will you ever be able to see her again? Speak to her again? Hug her? Tell her that you love her? You aren't certain. There's a nagging feeling in the back of your head. Regret, maybe. Regret that your short life might already end here. So much potential, wasted because of bad luck and recklessness.
"Hang on, little one."
You feel the sensation of two teeth sinking deep into your throat. Something stirs within you. Something… alien to you. The feeling of inevitable death starts ebbing away and is replaced by a tiny bit of renewed strength. Roll a d10
"IN THE NAME OF THE EQUESTRIAN LAW, YOU ARE TO BE REMOVED FROM THIS REALM, DISSIDENT!"
Justicia barges into the room, her voice loud enough to be heard over the sound of battle.
Varro charges in, hacking off the head of the thrall attacking Alesa with his impressive battleaxe in one swift motion. Both head and body turn to dust and he helps her up, grumbling something that she can't quite catch.

You bodyslam the thrall, making it hiss in pain and lose grip on your leg
>>165673
You lose consciousness. Roll to wake up.
>>165674
You take out your dagger and stab him again on a different spot this time. The vampire now screaming things you can't quite understand. He slumps down, clearly heavily wounded now.
>>165677
The thrall attacking you was killed by Varro, as said in the last post. You instead stab the one Uriah has pinned down, penetrating its eye and making it writhe in pain. Varro charges in again and beheads the creature, finishing it off.
>>165680
It lets go of your butt and jumps back as you swing your sword at it. Hissing at you annoyingly.
1 thrall and the vampire remaining.
Justicia is with Blaze's unconscious form

>>165686
>>165687
The two of you charge at the vampire, blessed silver daggers drawn, and gang up on him. Stabbing him in every spot possible as fast as you possibly can. The vampire lets out a blood curling roar, yelling out every possible form of insult towards you. Eventually, it ends. The vampire goes silent and in one instant turns from solid form into dust.
It is ded.
The remaining thrall, looking wide-eyed at his master dissipating in front of him, falls to his knees.
"I yield! I yield! Have mercy! I was controlled by him!"
>>165688
>>165694
It seems to have no effect whatsoever on the filly. Something strange is going on.

He nearly pisses himself as your thundering voice addresses him
"I-I-I don't know! I mean… we just pick random ponies from the street and suck them empty, then burn them! I swear! No fillies at all recently, the little fuckers don't hold enough blood!"
Brenya blinks into existence again, standing next to Blaze and picking her up carefully.
"Glücklose kind… Don't worry, everything will be alright."
She then gestures over at the thrall and snarls
"His mouth speaks lies, he knew fully well what he was doing! Show no mercy to the likes of him…"
Justicia draws her sword and points it at the thrall
"You will face justice! Judgment will be hard!"
>>165725
Nope, only nightmares. You let out a whimper for everyone to hear though.

It has no effect whatsoever. Brenya shakes her head at you.
"That wont affect her at this point. She needs blood now."
>>165736
That does though! Her eyes flutter open again.
And though her eyes are open, she herself cannot see anything. Her body feels all weird and wrong to her.
>>165735
"He'll face his punishment! One way or the other!"
Doesn't seem like she's making a move on him.

"Hmph!"

You kick the mare firmly against her jaw, sending her flying and crashing into a piece of furniture.

The mare quickly goes and collects some dust, putting some of it in her pouch.
She looks back at the party.
"I will be swift… though I do not know when I will be back. Don't worry, I'll find you wherever you are."
And with that, the mare disappears into nothingness again, leaving you behind in the bedroom.
>>165855
The thrall screams as he dodges out of the way
"NO!"
Varro grabs him and shoves him to the ground, then pinning him under one of his hindlegs.

Justicia stomps her hoof on the ground angrily, her face a little red in anger
"He needs to be brought to court then! I'm putting him under arrest!"
>>165883
You kick him in the face, knocking out a few teeth, including one of his fangs. He whimpers and covers up his face
"I am innocent! Please! Don't kill me! They'll give me the death penalty sir!"

"Justice! He is a murderer, a villain, a… a danger for society! He needs to be brought before court for judgment!"
The stallion holds on to your hoof

Last time on the Darkest Days
The party confronted and fought the vampire known as Herr Grimmwalt. Despite their eventual victory against this beast, it came at a price. Blaze, having almost died, was bitten by Brenya and turned into a vampire. Now undead, blind and furless, the unfortunate filly can do nothing but wait for Brenya to bring her a cure for her vampirism. The party is currently standing in the bedroom of the deceased vampire, still not any closer to finding Lena.
Uriah is with Justicia and Varro. Justicia is looking for evidence around the mansion.
Being a vampire, Blaze can no longer bear being in sunlight. She also needs blood to feed on instead of food. She is still in her early stages of transformation, so not a full vampire yet. Luckily for the party, it's just past midnight and dark outside.

Well that sure helped a lot. Really saved the day there with those prayers.
"Aha! I knew it!"
Justicia grabs one of the corpses with her magic, and starts dragging it along.
"I'm going to go present this evidence to the Mayor!"
After a few steps she turns to you.
"Oh, what about his daughter? Any sign of her?"

>>171708
You can call on that 10 you rolled later if needed

Looks like the old vampire had quite the collection. You find a book a book on vampires and other creatures of the night right away!

Vampires have a neverending lust for blood. They long for it at all times.
It makes them stronger.
More powerful.
Better.
Stro- You know what I mean by now.
Blaze being a small filly means that her hunger shouldn't be as big as a adult vampire. She is also less powerful because of this. Drinking blood does speed up the transformation process, so be careful. Not enough blood will render her weak, more desperate and possibly aggressive and delusional.
