bleak needle
#

Zack: and you tell me that now!?!

bleak needle
#

Ben: they were gone when I woke you up

bleak needle
#

Zack: that doesn’t make it any better!!

bleak needle
#

Zero: what did they look like?
Ben: kinda like peasants with torn clothing and lots of dried blood on the front and near the mouth

#

Zack: I’d punch you but time is running so let’s look around

bleak needle
#

they looked around for a good hour, finding lots of body and trace that led a bit more up north

bleak needle
#

Ben: let’s follow the tracks. Ready yourself in case there’s a daywalker

bleak needle
#

Zero: a what?
Ben: daywalker. I came up with a name for vampire that can live in sunlight

bleak needle
#

Zack: well… it’s catchy

bleak needle
#

Ben: anyway follow the tracks

bleak needle
#

they follow the track and end up in front of a cave with more blood in front of it

bleak needle
#

Ben: must be where they hide during the day. Anyone brought garlic bomb?

bleak needle
#

Zack: no they smelled too much for the boat crew so we had to ditch them

bleak needle
#

Ben: dammit. Do we go in since we got 2-3 hours before sundown or do we wait for tommorow?

bleak needle
#

Zack: let’s go in

bleak needle
#

they descend deeper, the smell of rot intensify
Ben: guess these are ferals shouldn’t be too hard… depending on how many there are

bleak needle
#

Zero: how many did you see that night Ben?

#

Ben: 3 , normal shape normal height

bleak needle
#

Zack: I’ll go in first

bleak needle
#

they descend until they see the coffin of the old vampire, coffins look more like makeshift boxes rather than proper coffins

bleak needle
#

Zero: I’m almost sorry for them!

bleak needle
#

Zack: almost!
Ben: don’t move… they are in the corner there

bleak needle
#

Ben: does anyone have artificial light?

bleak needle
#

Zack: those I could bring!
he shake a few potions and throw them on the ground creating bubble that light up the cavern

bleak needle
#

the light shines and reveals 3 pair of eyes staring intently at the Vh

bleak needle
#

ben then throws a few knives, Zack ready his sword and zero prepares to cast her magic

bleak needle
#

the one receiving Ben’s knife charges him, the other two go after Zack and zero

bleak needle
#

the one charging Zack gets promptly cut in half

bleak needle
#

And zero has dispatched her with ease, Ben finishes his with a stake throught the heart

bleak needle
#

Ben: these were ferals. Explains why did fought like mindless beast

bleak needle
#

Ben: hmmm the exception or the rule?

bleak needle
#

Zack: hopefully the rule because these were easy!

bleak needle
#

Ben: the question become was it one of them who turned the two other or is it someone else?

bleak needle
#

Zero: I don’t know any way to do that…

bleak needle
#

Ben: doesn’t matter. These can’t be the only one… maybe the only one close enough to town to cause trouble but that’s it

bleak needle
#

Zack: yeah probably. We should also look around to see if there are any clue as to why they are here

bleak needle
#

Ben: let’s be quick time is running out

bleak needle
#

*they looks around in the pile of clothing left on the floor to try and find something *

bleak needle
#

after a while they abandoned and left before it got dark

bleak needle
#

on the road back to the town
Zack: I feel like we didn’t really take care of the problem more like remove a brick from a falling wall

bleak needle
#

Ben: yeah… but for today’s that’s all we got. 3 dead isn’t that bad

bleak needle
#

Zero: now that I think about it. Did the ā€˜ā€™others’’ have any instructions for you when they learned you’ll be here?

bleak needle
#

Ben: all I did is send them a message saying I’m taking a trip here on VH business

bleak needle
#

Ben: they haven’t contacted me since. So I have no clue about their presence here either

bleak needle
#

Zack: dammit that could have been useful

bleak needle
#

Ben: if they need to inform me of something they’ll figure out a way.

bleak needle
#

Zack; sucks for us.
Ben: not that much

bleak needle
#

Zeros: why?

bleak needle
#

Ben: because if we used the intel against them theyd become aware that there is an Intel leak

bleak needle
#

Zero: yeah there is that

bleak needle
#

Ben: let’s hurry back to town . I don’t want to spend a night outside here if I don’t have to

bleak needle
#

*they hurried back to town, arriving there with nightfall *

bleak needle
#

Zack; I’m guessing we are not telling them we’re done tommorow?
Zero: we only killed 3 vampire it’s not enough to claim case closed

bleak needle
#

Ben: anyway let’s go to bed. Tommorow is another day

bleak needle
#

night passes

bleak needle
#

Zero: we should ask around town for more info. More definite place then that village

bleak needle
#

Zack; yeah gives us more info than a single village

bleak needle
#

Ben: then let’s go ask question and let’s regroup here at 12h for lunch

bleak needle
#

everyone agrees and goes there own way

bleak needle
#

after a few hours of talking with the locals. They come together at the agreed upon location

bleak needle
#

Ben: I didn’t get much an abandoned town to the south

bleak needle
#

Zack: I’ve heard a good and bad Info!

bleak needle
#

Zero: … well what are you waiting for?

bleak needle
#

Zack: at least 4 locals told me that no one ever came back from behind the moutain over there if the were there when night fell

bleak needle
#

Ben: and the bad?

bleak needle
#

Zack: no precise location other than on the other side of the moutain

bleak needle
#

Ben: and you zero?
Zero: same as him. We should ask what settlement are behind the moutain. For physical place rather than wandering for ages

bleak needle
#

Ben: sure let’s do that. We can’t go behind the mountain today anyway the travel time is too long

bleak needle
#

Ben: do we meet up here tommorow morning?

bleak needle
#

Zero:… no your not going to do that
Zack: what are you talking about?

bleak needle
#

Zero: you’re not going on a mission alone over the Mountain. For what we know they are all savage. You’ll get torn to shreds

bleak needle
#

Zack: tell me you weren’t thinking of that!
Ben:…

bleak needle
#

Zack: zero is right this is madness

#

Ben:…. ok I’ll wait until we have proof of intelligent vampire to do this

bleak needle
#

Zero: and don’t think about doing this kind of stuff anymore!!!

bleak needle
#

Ben: ok ok I won’t

bleak needle
#

Zero: you better!

bleak needle
#

Ben: anyway let’s gather info on the other side of the moutain

bleak needle
#

Zack: yeah
Zero:….

bleak needle
#

*all of them split up to again ask questions, this time about possible abandonned settlements on the other side of the mountain *

bleak needle
#

*just before night fall they meet back together *

bleak needle
#

Ben: anything new for you? I couldn’t get anything, most peasant were too scared to even talk about the place

bleak needle
#

Zack: I went inside a tavern
Zero:…
zack: hey don’t judge old people with story to tell tend to be there

bleak needle
#

Zero: I’ve convinced a few peasants to talk to me. Apparently there a castle on the other side of the moutain about 3-5 hour walk

bleak needle
#

Zack: yeah that came up as well. Apparently there was an old legend about this castles owner, deal with the devil kind of thing

bleak needle
#

Ben: great so now we have a destination

bleak needle
#

the night passes they gather their equipment and head out for the castle at dawn

bleak needle
#

Zack: so what is our objective once to the castle?

bleak needle
#

Ben: I think: locate the castle, locate a hideout for the night, go to castle to investigate or wait till Tommorow

bleak needle
#

Zack: sounds good
Zero: yeah

bleak needle
#

*they travel for hour seeing a few more abandoned settlements before seeing from afar the castle *

bleak needle
#

Zack: whistles big place

bleak needle
#

Ben: that also means lots to explore

bleak needle
#

Zero: let’s find a place to sleep for the night and start again tomorrow

bleak needle
#

Ben: agreed!
Zack: we should hurry up then. From the position of the sun we don’t have more than 2-3 hours

bleak needle
#

*they continue their expedition until they find a relatively well hidden cavern *

bleak needle
#

Zack: no fire. Unless zero can do one without light and smoke

bleak needle
#

Zero: can’t do. Plus that would be terribly dangerous

bleak needle
#

Zero: can you imagine . Fire you can’t see… incredibly dangerous…

bleak needle
#

they go to sleep after a cold meal. Ben is the first to be on guard duty

bleak needle
#

Ben: let’s try the blood vision. See if there anything nearby

bleak needle
#

ben activate the blood vision and yo his relief sees a bunch on wildlife outside the cave

bleak needle
#

|| to his relief because that means there is no monster nearby. The wildlife would have ran away if there was one||

bleak needle
#

*the night passes without any happening *

bleak needle
#

the group wakes up after a rough night sleeping on the cold stone ground of the cavern

bleak needle
#

Zack: castle here we come!!

bleak needle
#

they walk for a bit before entering the run down castle

bleak needle
#

Zero: looks like it’s been abandoned for a long while

bleak needle
#

Ben: abandoned and not cleaned by vampire can be very similar

bleak needle
#

*the stairs to the higher floors being destroyed, the group descend into the bowels of the castle *

#

Zack: be careful guys, the castle is still intact enough for the monsters to hide in

bleak needle
#

Ben: luckily for us there are broken wall so the sun still shines through

bleak needle
#

the group encounter a few bedroom and a dinning room

bleak needle
#

Zero: it’s clean here. No trace of blood.

bleak needle
#

Ben: let me try something

#

ben then turns on his vampiric sight to see the table covered in blood

bleak needle
#

Ben: they eat at the table… they are real good at cleaning it

bleak needle
#

Zack: what do you mean?
Ben: vampire vision, there was a great quantity of blood on that table

bleak needle
#

Zero: so if they clean in this must be a base of intelligent vampire!

bleak needle
#

Ben: good thinking. But since it’s day time they must either be asleep or wandering the halls

bleak needle
#

Zack: hopefully asleep!

bleak needle
#

Zack: easier to stake em that way

#

after a while and a bit more exploration, they hear talking on the floor below

#

*they approach quietly to observe the people talking *

#

Unknown: I mean it couldn’t be quieter a job. Protect them while they sleep. No one come in that old castle anyway

bleak needle
#

Unknown 2: and if we serve them good enough we get immortality. What’s not to like

bleak needle
#

Zero: whispers human servants!

bleak needle
#

Ben: luckily for us they said their masters are asleep right now

bleak needle
#

Zack: so do we kill them or…?

bleak needle
#

Ben: let’s try to sneak up on them.

#

Ben: if we can knock them out quickly their boss might not wake up

bleak needle
#

Zack: ok… 3..2..1 go!
a the servants were incapacitated without a sound

bleak needle
#

Ben: good, hopefully they didn’t wake up

bleak needle
#

Zack: let’s tie them up and muzzle them so they can scream when they wake up

bleak needle
#

Ben: good idea
they then proceed to muzzle them

bleak needle
#

Zero: guys I think I found the master bedroom!

bleak needle
#

Zack: what do you mean the…. Oh!

bleak needle
#

in front of them are about 4-5 coffin line up with portrait above them

bleak needle
#

Zack: this is going to be the easiest vampire to kill of my career

bleak needle
#

Ben: don’t kill them yet. We need to interrogate them

bleak needle
#

Zack: interrogate them for what? Our job is to kill them that’s it

bleak needle
#

Ben: to know how high on the literal food chain they are. So that if they are bottom grunts we can extract intel from them

bleak needle
#

Zack: sometime I’m wondering if your not too soft on them because of you know what

bleak needle
#

Ben: first, f you
Second, you know it make sense

bleak needle
#

Zack: yeah yeah. Let’s be quick

bleak needle
#

*they continue investigating this area of the castle *

bleak needle
#

Zero: I think that’s all there is here. Maybe it’s an outpost rather than a real base?

bleak needle
#

Ben: maybe…

bleak needle
#

Ben: the only way would be to talk to them

bleak needle
#

Zero:… you really are fixated on that!

bleak needle
#

Zack: you want to talk to them?

bleak needle
#

Ben: I mean…. Yeah?

bleak needle
#

Zero: you-
Ben: how else are we going to get solid info on them? I’d like to remind you that we are in uncharted territory here

bleak needle
#

Ben: and now that their lackeys are tied up they know someone is after them

bleak needle
#

Zero:… so what would be the plan to do that?

bleak needle
#

Ben: well the bigger the bluff the better right?

#

Zack: not in poker
Ben: you suck at poker!

bleak needle
#

Zack: no I don’t!
Zero: you do suck at poker but Ben pls explain what you mean

bleak needle
#

Ben: so you guys hide somewhere. I stand here and explain I’ve been looking for them blah blah mention the guy in Europe and mostly improvise

bleak needle
#

Zack:And where should we hide? The place is pretty run down

bleak needle
#

Zero: well we don’t have to do it here… we could leave a message for them to meet up at X place

bleak needle
#

Ben: so we could choose a place where you could hide.

bleak needle
#

Ben: outside the castle would an idea. It’s close and they won’t have time to prepare

bleak needle
#

Zack: and place for an ambush!

#

Ben: exactly!

bleak needle
#

Ben: let’s do just that
*he finds a piece of paper and miraculously a pen and writes the following *

bleak needle
#
  • I’ll be outside the front door waiting for you. I hope your lackeys aren’t to roughed up
    Love, Ben *
bleak needle
#

Ben: it’s done, let’s get out and prepare for them

bleak needle
#

*they got out of the castle and settled for a spot they could in. A few hours were left before sundown *

bleak needle
#

zack and zero are now hidden behind a rock near the entrance to the derelict castle

bleak needle
#

Zack: hopefully they don’t sleep too much. I don’t like hiding here

bleak needle
#

Zero: yeah… but hopefully the vampires presence scares away anything else that might be here

#

Ben: hopefully… hey I think it’s them!

bleak needle
#

two silhouette come out of the castle looking around

#

Ben: well then showtime!
he comes out of behind the rock

bleak needle
#

Vampire 1: you must be the one who tied up our servants!

bleak needle
#

Ben: correct… didn’t know how much you cared about them so just knocked them out

#

Vampire 2: to be fair you could have killed them they are a dozen like them

bleak needle
#

Ben: anyway I’ve come from the European branch don’t know if you guys have a link with them or not… which is probably something I should’ve thought beforehand

bleak needle
#

Vampire 1: first question why are you dressed as a VH?

bleak needle
#

Ben: I don’t have to answer that.
My teeth are enough of an answer to any question

bleak needle
#

Vampire3: arrogant aren’t we

bleak needle
#

Ben: well I’ve got reasons to be confident

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: do you even have proof of who you claim to be?

bleak needle
#

Ben: well I know Gerald from the European branch can attest to who I am. But he isn’t here right now

#

Ben: more important question who are you guys?

#

Vampire1: do we tell him?
Vampire 2: we are sent by the European branch to create one here

#

Ben: so you guys are founder! Impressive and risky too

bleak needle
#

Vampire3: someone had to! New continent for hells sake

bleak needle
#

Ben: indeed… so have we decided not to kill me yet?

bleak needle
#

Vampire3: … not for now at least. We still have to talk about your attire

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: let’s talk about it inside the castle!

bleak needle
#

Ben: sure. I’ll follow

#

Zack: whispers: what is this moron doing

#

Zero: he’s waking straight into the lions den!

bleak needle
#

Zack: we should go in and kill them!

bleak needle
#

Zero: no… all we can do is wait

bleak needle
#

back inside the castle wall
Vampire 3: here is something I don’t understand. Our minion are smart enough to stay in the light when facing a vampire so how?

bleak needle
#

Ben: they didn’t see me coming being one big factor

#

Vampire1: even then it shouldn’t be possible. The beer are still in their cup. Not even trace of a scuffle

bleak needle
#

Ben: well there might be an explanation… they didn’t know I was a vampire…

bleak needle
#

Vampire 2: explanation would be more than welcome

#

Ben: sunlight doesn’t bother me

#

Vampire3: that’s bull****!!!

bleak needle
#

Ben: only one way to find out is there?

bleak needle
#

Vampire1: indeed there is… when the night is over you’ll go into the sunlight for an hour.

bleak needle
#

Ben: we still have a few hours , anything else you’d like to discuss while we wait?

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: why are you wearing VH clothing!?

bleak needle
#

Ben:… Gerald told me not to spread that info too much but… I’m infiltrated inside the VH organization

bleak needle
#

Vampire3:… go on…

bleak needle
#

Ben: I got turned into a vampire on a mission. Realized it a bit late. But I knew I’d get killed if they discovered it

#

Ben: so when we came back to the city. They gave us a mission. Infiltrate a building suspected to be a vampire hideout. Go in and meet Gerald . And that’s about it

#

Vampire2: hmmm how did you feed during your time in the VH?

bleak needle
#

Ben: hunting duty was mine most of the time because most of my team sucked at hunting

bleak needle
#

Vampire1: so you’d drink the blood of the animals. You must’ve been so weak!

bleak needle
#

Ben: weak enough to pass as human! That was the goal and it worked. But I knew I couldn’t stay there forever so when I met Gerald I thought of something.

bleak needle
#

Ben: I needed to get in contact with the vampires. So I convinced the other to leave while I interrogated Gerald. Rather talked with him and that’s about it

#

Vampire2: the sun is coming up and so is your time if you lied

bleak needle
#

Ben: I haven’t.
*he then steps in front of a broken wall to see the sun rise while the other hide *

bleak needle
#

the sunrise slowly but surely as the rays shine on Ben and the wall behind him

bleak needle
#

*vampire1 come close to the broken wall and stick a finger out in the sunlight *

#

*and immediately burns his finger pretty badly *

bleak needle
#

Vampire1: 🤬🤬🤬
Vampire3: now we know he didn’t lie

bleak needle
#

*ben then take a sip of his flask *

bleak needle
#

Ben: I mean I told you

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: what’s in the flask? A potion perhaps?
Ben: just blood
ben then hands the flask to vampire 1 to prove his saying

#

vampire1 drinks from the flask , his finger heals rapidly from the blood

#

*he then hesitantly puts his finger back into the daylight *

#

*only for it to immediately burn up again *

bleak needle
#

Vampire1:🤬🤬🤬. next time you do the testing

bleak needle
#

Ben: I mean I told you so.

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: how can this be?

bleak needle
#

Ben: no clue. But it’s real usefull I can tell you that

#

Vampire2: are you still vulnerable to garlic and the like?

bleak needle
#

Ben: yep that … has been difficult to deal with. The VH carry garlic bomb and they sometimes break due to repeated use. So I had to be extra vigilant

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: religion icons?

#

Ben: still hurts… a lot

#

Vampire 2: still is a lot, with this you aren’t a slave to the sun

bleak needle
#

Ben: so are we on relatively peaceful term now?

bleak needle
#

*all three vampire look at each other before nodding *
Vampire 2: for now yes

#

Ben: ah also. We’ve been sent to reduce the number of vampire attacks on the humans. Would it be possible to…

bleak needle
#

Vampire3: we don’t attack human it’s the ferals. Human turned and abandoned by their master

bleak needle
#

Ben: so killing them would solve the problem. Would you have general indication as to where some of them are?

bleak needle
#

Vampire1: do you have a map?
Ben: yeah here

bleak needle
#

thƩ vampire puts a few mark on the map
Vampire1: these are a few spots we know of.

bleak needle
#

Ben: thanks. Anyway been a pleasure talking to you but I gotta go

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: fine. You may go

bleak needle
#

Ben: on a side note. Can we keep the whole undercover daywalker under wraps please?

bleak needle
#

Vampire3: we can keep a secret.

bleak needle
#

Ben: see you later!
*he then goes out the castle back to the temporary hideout *

bleak needle
#

back in the hideout both Zack and zero are there

bleak needle
#

Zero: where were you all this time you🤬🤬
Ben: whoa whoa slow down

bleak needle
#

Ben: let me explain what happened
he explains what happened

bleak needle
#

Zack: your lying ability really are good…

#

Zero: and you said they were here to build a branch ?

bleak needle
#

Ben: so that means we won’t be able to do anything about it until someone else learns about it

bleak needle
#

Zack: what do you mean. We know there a branch. Let’s ask for reinforcements and destroy them!

bleak needle
#

Ben: how will we explain how we got that info? I’d be suicidal for me

bleak needle
#

Zero: he’s right we have to do a report…

#

Ben: but I got something else. The location of checks map 4 feral hive

bleak needle
#

Ben: so we technically are doing what he asked us to.

bleak needle
#

Zack: at least there is that… where are they?

bleak needle
#

Ben: luckily for us on the other side of the moutain.

bleak needle
#

Zack: good cause I don’t know if I could’ve handled another night sleeping on stones

bleak needle
#

Zero: me neither. Anyway let’s go back to the other side of the mountain

bleak needle
#

*they pack up their things and leave to go back to the village *

bleak needle
#

after arriving to the village they stay together
Zack: should we attack one now or wait tommorow?

bleak needle
#

Ben : probably tommorow… i should also ignore the place we already hit

bleak needle
#

Ben: that leave us with 3 places to hit. After that we can go back to see our handler

bleak needle
#

Zack: and explore this place a bit more freely hopefully

bleak needle
#

Ben: anyway let’s go to sleep for today. Sorry for the anxiety

bleak needle
#

night passes and our group heads out to destroy the feral nest

bleak needle
#

*they arrive at a house near a cemetery *

bleak needle
#

Ben: there should be one near here… be cautious there no telling how many there are

bleak needle
#

Zack: yeah yeah
Zero: if you aren’t careful you might end up like Ben
Zack: gulp ok ok

bleak needle
#

*they check out the cemetery *
Zero: normally they shouldn’t be able to walk on consecrated ground.

bleak needle
#

Ben: I feel nothing… this ground isn’t holy anymore… but how?

bleak needle
#

Zero: it’s not that hard . Break the crosses, a few ritual , lots of blood and tadaa

bleak needle
#

Ben and Zack:….
zero: hey don’t look at me like that. I had to learn how to do the opposite so I thought might as well

bleak needle
#

Ben: right. Let’s just find info on where the f**kers are

bleak needle
#

Zack: well there is an that small building there that leads underground

bleak needle
#

Ben: yeah. I know it has a name but I forgot what it is. Let’s go down there.. carefully

bleak needle
#

*they descend for a bit before entering a large room filled with stone caskets embedded in the walls *

bleak needle
#

Ben: lovely place … as final resting place goes

bleak needle
#

Zack: how many room are there?
Ben: don’t know but prepare yourself

bleak needle
#

*they go around a corner and stumble onto 6 ferals that are asleep *

#

they all look into each other eyes confirming the need to be quiet to no be overwhelmed by the ferals

bleak needle
#

they back away to form a strategy
Zero: what do we do. There too many of them!

bleak needle
#

Zack: we have garlic bomb why not but a bunch there and kaboom

bleak needle
#

Ben; i think you forgot about someone

bleak needle
#

Zack: oh right… any other idea?

bleak needle
#

Ben:… zero you said you learned how to consecrate a cemetery right?

bleak needle
#

Zero: yeah but what… oh that’s good

bleak needle
#

Zack; what are you guys taking about?
Ben: reconsecrating the grounds of the cemetery and blocking the ferals in would be a plan

bleak needle
#

Ben: and if they manage to escape its still daytime so they are out

bleak needle
#

Ben: how long would it take to do it zero?

bleak needle
#

Zero: about an hour and that’s if you guys get me the material to make makeshift crosses. The better looking the better

bleak needle
#

Ben: the better looking really?
Zero: better symbol better holy magic

bleak needle
#

Ben: ok. So sticks and stone. Let’s go Zack

bleak needle
#

they leave for a bit to gather material to build a few crosses

bleak needle
#

they come back hands full or sticks stones and grass

bleak needle
#

Ben: will this be enough?
Zero: with this much it will hurt like hell but won’t be enough to kill them in less than an hour

bleak needle
#

zero takes a dozen or so minute to explain to the duo how to set up the sticks and stone for the ritual

bleak needle
#

they set up the stones for the ritual
Ben: we’re done you can go ahead zero

bleak needle
#

zero does here ritual

bleak needle
#

immediately after they can hear screams coming from below and a familiar voice
Ben: 🤬🤬🤬. Should have thought about it

bleak needle
#

*ben gets out of the cemetery *
Ben: yeah I think I’ll stay here

bleak needle
#

*the sound of screams seem to get closer and closer until they hear banging on the barricade that lead underground *

bleak needle
#

the banging grows louder until the barricade breaks letting about 5 ferals out

bleak needle
#

the ferals leave the cemetery but are burned to death by the sunlight leaving our trio clean up

bleak needle
#

after having made sure that all of them were dead and having burned the remains on a large bonfire

bleak needle
#

Ben: that’s spot one. Now on to spot number two

bleak needle
#

they travel for a bit before finding a hole in the side of a cliff

bleak needle
#

Zack: that would be a great hiding spot. Can I use the bombs now?

bleak needle
#

Ben: only the garlic one. Wouldn’t want to break the cliff!

bleak needle
#

Zack: yeah don’t worry, just stay back.
Zero: hey shouldn’t we check just to be sure not to get an angry bear coming at us?

bleak needle
#

Zack and Ben look and each other for a sec
Ben: yeah you might be right

bleak needle
#

they don’t have to enter too deep in the cave to hear snoring from the ferals

bleak needle
#

they get back out the cave
Ben: Zack I’ll let you do your thing with the garlic bombs

bleak needle
#

Ben: I’ll just step back on that one again.

bleak needle
#

ben then retreats a bit before Zack’s throws about 5-6 garlic grenade

#

after a bit a few loud explosions are heard followed by screaming

bleak needle
#

after a few seconds a few ferals jump out of the cave running to hide under the trees nearby

bleak needle
#

kind of burned up and much angrier than before , the ferals jump on the trio as soon as they reach the shades

bleak needle
#

ben throws a few knives, Zack decapitates one of them and zero pushes one in the sunlight with her magic

bleak needle
#

*after a bit more fighting the VH managed to defeat the ferals *

bleak needle
#

they then drag the body into the sunlight and destroy them for good using a stake

bleak needle
#

Ben: that was hive number 2. Do you guys want to risk being here at night or?

bleak needle
#

Zack: let’s go back.
Zero: I surprisingly agree with Zack

#

*after they burned the body’s they leave for the village *

bleak needle
#

they sleep through the night and head back out to finish the job

bleak needle
#

after travelling for a bit longer. This spot being one of the furthest from the camp they arrive near a lonely house

#

Zack: this the place?
Ben: looks at the map apparently so

#

Zero: let’s look around!

#

they look around the house , inside and out but find nothing inside or outside that would indicate ferals activity

bleak needle
#

Ben: if they aren’t here then where are they?
Zero: are you sure it’s —
Ben: yeah triple checked

bleak needle
#

Zack: then why-
Peasant : can I help you guys?

bleak needle
#

*everyone turns around to see one massive man, about 30-35 year old, about 6.3 feet tall staring at them suspiciously *

bleak needle
#

Ben: hi, we are looking for ferals vampire roaming around. Some people pointed here but we don’t see any activity of ferals

bleak needle
#

Peasant: feral vampire?
Zero: basically vampire that have lost their minds or have been abandoned by their master. Still vampire just a lot more animalistic

bleak needle
#

Peasant: there was a few of them a while ago... but they have been taken care of.

#

Ben: taken care of how? if improperly taken care of they could come back. all they need is blood to do so.

bleak needle
#

Peasant: Taken.Care.Of

bleak needle
#

zack: then you wont mind if we ask a few more questions?
Peasant:.... course not

bleak needle
#

zack: how many of them were there?
what did they do and why are you hiding them?

bleak needle
#

Peasant: about a handful, they attacked people and because they we- … sneaky little…

#

Zack: why are you hiding them?

bleak needle
#

Peasant: some of them were family, others were friends…

bleak needle
#

Peasant:… you are going to kill them aren’t you?

bleak needle
#

Ben: probably. The only way to turn to back to sane people would be to convince their master (the one who turned them into vamps) to help them

bleak needle
#

Ben: and if he abandoned them once… I don’t think he’ll help them

bleak needle
#

Peasants:…

bleak needle
#

Peasant:… I couldn’t really help them anyway

bleak needle
#

Peasant : follow me
they then go into the lonely house

bleak needle
#

Zero: we already checked here!
Peasant: under the rug?
Zero:….

bleak needle
#

Peasant : I’ll take that as no

bleak needle
#

*he then pulls the rug revealing a hatch. He opens it and beneath are 5-6 ferals sleeping soundly *

bleak needle
#

the peasant goes out of the house whispering: do what needs doing

bleak needle
#

Zack: whispers: garlic bomb?

bleak needle
#

Ben:whispers wait till I get out

#

ben gets out the house

bleak needle
#

*soon after a few explosion sounds are heard along with screaming *

bleak needle
#

Peasant: what are you doing!!?

#

Zero: putting them out of their misery the safest way

bleak needle
#

Peasant: they are screaming!! he looks at his axe

#

Ben: you knew this was inevitable… and painfull. The quicker it’s done the sooner you can move on

bleak needle
#

*screaming stops**after a few minutes, Zack comes out of the house *

bleak needle
#

Zack: it’s done. We still have to bring the body’s and burn them

bleak needle
#

Peasant: I’ll do it
Zack: they are dead but I’m telling you this because it is the WORST smell ever

bleak needle
#

Peasant: leave now!! While I still have some patience left.

bleak needle
#

Ben: well burn the body and then we’ll go. After that you may never see us again… deal?

bleak needle
#

Peasant:… make it a quick.

bleak needle
#

they then take the body’s out of the cave and burn them far away from the house

bleak needle
#

Zack: guess we’re not going back to tell him the jobs done?

bleak needle
#

Ben: indeed. That’s the second to last one on the map. So all we have left is one

bleak needle
#

Zero: good news!

bleak needle
#

Zack: if we hurry up we should be able to make this one before sundown

bleak needle
#

Ben: let’s hurry then, follow me!

bleak needle
#

*they travel for a bit seeing the sun go down like a reminder to hurry up *

bleak needle
#

they arrive at the specified location Just before sundown

bleak needle
#

they arrive in the middle of a field

bleak needle
#

Zack: are you sure this is the place?

bleak needle
#

Ben: I double checked!
Zero: then triple check because we’re running out of time

bleak needle
#

Ben: ok ok
the sun begins to set

bleak needle
#

Zack: god I hate the tall grasses here
Ben:… F*** they’re underground!!

bleak needle
#

as the sun set about 4 ferals come out of the ground out of what looks like small hand made cave

bleak needle
#

two of them start attacking Zack while the others go after Ben and zero

bleak needle
#

Zack: I kinda need help here!

bleak needle
#

zero torches her opponent and starts helping zack

bleak needle
#

after that they manage to defeat the remaining ferals with relative ease

bleak needle
#

Zack: what was that!!?

bleak needle
#

Ben: them underground… no clue

bleak needle
#

Zero: how can we be sure that’s all of them?

bleak needle
#

Ben: garlic bomb in the hole perhaps? And if it persists we’ll just come back

bleak needle
#

Zack: seems fair *he picks a few bomb and goes through each hole *

bleak needle
#

the smell of garlic fills the air around the trio

bleak needle
#

Ben: now that we are done let’s go before meeting any more of them

bleak needle
#

*they then rush back to the village *

bleak needle
#

after they reach the village they agree to meet up the next day to inform the quest giving merchant of the success of their mission

bleak needle
#

Ben: now we have to find him again
Zero: no need he’s right there!

bleak needle
#

they spot the vendor in the distance setting up shop for the day

bleak needle
#

they approach him
Ben: your feral problem has been taken care of.
Vendor : our what?

bleak needle
#

Ben: the rogue vampire you’ve been facing are ferals, freshly turned vampire that was abandoned by their master

bleak needle
#

Vendor: ah, and it’s dealth with?

bleak needle
#

Ben: yeah like I said.

bleak needle
#

Vendor: wonderful… wait if what you are saying is true then won’t we have a problem with the vampire who keeps creating these ferals?

bleak needle
#

Ben: indeed that’s one the reason why we’re not leaving yet

bleak needle
#

Vendor:? what are the other?

bleak needle
#

Ben: well the length of the trip back is a good one

bleak needle
#

Zero: the smell of people after 2 month on a ship

bleak needle
#

Zack: the boredom is thƩ worst

bleak needle
#

Vendor: oh… right

bleak needle
#

Vendor: well getting rid of that rogue vampire would be necessary before I can consider this mission as successful

bleak needle
#

Ben: yeah we figured that one out

bleak needle
#

Ben: well have to keep looking around for him

bleak needle
#

Vendor: come back when he’s dead and I should have news for you

bleak needle
#

Ben: yeah yeah. See ya

bleak needle
#

*they get far away from the vendor and begin brainstorming on how to get the info about the rogue vampire roaming around creating ferals *

bleak needle
#

Zero: how could we get info on that vampire? I mean there is the long way of doing it

bleak needle
#

Zack: yeah I’d rather avoid looking at every death in the area for month if I can

bleak needle
#

Ben: asking more questions to the vampires themselves would be an idea
Zero:…. at least this time your not hiding it

bleak needle
#

Ben: are you against it this time?
Zero: always. But it’s that or months looking around

bleak needle
#

Ben: any objections Zack?
Zack: if that can save us from month of boring work , none

bleak needle
#

Ben: so let’s go there again today before we have to move there in the dark

#

Zack: yeah let’s hurry up
*they then travel quickly back to the cave that’s still empty *

bleak needle
#

they set up camp, again without fire
Zack: glad I brought small mattress to put under us.

bleak needle
#

ben picks up a few thing and move towards the caves exit
Zack; be careful.

bleak needle
#

Ben: don’t worry about it. I’m already dead remember

#

Zack: try not do do it again

bleak needle
#

Ben: yeah yeah see ya tommorow!

#

*he then heads out to the castle *

bleak needle
#

reaching the castles there are more guards than last time

bleak needle
#

Ben to the guards: hey, I’ve come to talk to your masters!

bleak needle
#

Guard 1: are you friends with them?

bleak needle
#

William: I wouldn’t say friends… yet but I do know them.

bleak needle
#

Guard 1: two guard go escort him there and if he’s lying dump him.

bleak needle
#

ben gets escorted all the way up to the upper floor of the derelict castle

bleak needle
#

there he meets the three vampire he met the other night

bleak needle
#

Ben: hey!
Vampire3: what is he doing here?
Guard 2-3: he said he knew you guys

bleak needle
#

Vampire 3: we are going to have a talk about who you can bring up here

bleak needle
#

Vampire1: what do you want?

bleak needle
#

Ben: well I don’t remember asking last time if you had intel in the feral maker

bleak needle
#

Vampire2:… Francis have you received rapport of a vampire that makes ferals?

bleak needle
#

*ben hears a voice coming from another room *
Francis: eh lemme check

bleak needle
#

Francis : we got one near the old greywood estate

bleak needle
#

Ben: greywood ? Where is that?

bleak needle
#

Vampire 1: that’s about a days walk from here even deeper south

#

Ben: could you mark it on my map?

#

Vampire 3: yeah, right here!

#

thƩ vampire scribbles something on the map and Ben takes it

#

Vampire 2: since you asked something of us it’s only natural you do something for us

bleak needle
#

Ben: what would that be?

#

Vampire 2: we need a little something from a little somewhere

#

Ben: can you get to the point please! I’d rather not be out all night

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: there a book in the greywood estate we need to open a portal to the old continent

bleak needle
#

Ben: that would be cool to use… sadly I can’t

bleak needle
#

Vampire 3 : why?
Ben: how suspicious would it be to have come back so quickly.

bleak needle
#

Vampire 3: ah right. Well if you ever need it it’ll be here. As long as you bring us the book

bleak needle
#

Ben: pls describe said book please

bleak needle
#

Vampire1: it’s a red leather bound tome titled: blood magic for idiots

bleak needle
#

Ben: why would a human aristocrat have that kind of books?

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: he was a collector of some sort.

bleak needle
#

Ben: I’m guessing I can take whatever else I want from there?

bleak needle
#

Vampire1: money wise sure. Books wise we’d rather not, might be more interesting books that lay there

bleak needle
#

Ben; understood. I’ll be going now. Suns about to rise

bleak needle
#

Vampire3: don’t forget red leather bound book with blood magic written on it

bleak needle
#

Ben: don’t worry I won’t forget. I really have to go

#

ben then goes back to the cavern

#

Zack: so where could that f*** be?

#

Ben: he’s in a decrepit mansion about a days walk away from the tower

#

Zero: that’s it? They didn’t ask for anything and trust you enough to give you this info for free

bleak needle
#

Ben: I have to grab a book.

bleak needle
#

Zero: not any old book I presume?
Ben: blood magic for something

#

Zero: blood magic!!, that can’t be good

bleak needle
#

Ben: well that’s what they asked for. Plus you could take a look at it first

bleak needle
#

Zero: there is that..

bleak needle
#

Ben: anyway let’s go now.

bleak needle
#

they then travel again until they see a large gated estate

bleak needle
#

Zack: this place is almost as big as the hq on the old continent!!

bleak needle
#

Ben: yup. Now to find an entry

bleak needle
#

Zack: we could always bust a wall open with a bomb.

bleak needle
#

Zero: and alert everyone of our presence. Please don’t

bleak needle
#

Ben: there has to be a gate to this place!

bleak needle
#

and indeed there was. After following the wall for a bit they find the entrance and some incredibly rusty gates on the ground

bleak needle
#

Ben: it’s getting late we should get inside and bunker down for the night

bleak needle
#

they get Inside the house easily due to the lack of door and choose an room without windows as their sleeping room

bleak needle
#

the night passes peacefully for the most part

bleak needle
#

*as they wake up they begin searching the home for the book and the rogue vampire *

bleak needle
#

Zack: what’s the name of the book again?
Ben: something something for idiots
Zero: blood magic

bleak needle
#

Ben: ah right, also be careful this house has enough dark spots for surprise

bleak needle
#

after a while they get in front of an old and heavy looking wooden door

bleak needle
#

as they enter the see rows and rows of bookshelf filled to the brim with books in different color , size and width

bleak needle
#

a singular figure is there in front of a burning fireplace

bleak needle
#

Figure: I’m busy reading please leave

bleak needle
#

*the group remains silent , unsure of how to approach this person *

bleak needle
#

Figure : if you won’t leave I will escort you out myself, I won’t be gentle

bleak needle
#

Ben: Mr greywood?

bleak needle
#

Figure: he knows who I am, interesting intruder aren’t we

bleak needle
#

Ben: I’d like to borrow a book!
he kind of shout that to give himself courage.

bleak needle
#

Figure : and a reading man even better!

bleak needle
#

the fireplace suddenly shuts off putting the room In the dark

bleak needle
#

Figure: what book?, a red one, a green one, talking about what, historical, scientific, what!!?!?
*the figure sounds more and more unstable the more it speaks *

bleak needle
#

Ben: I think it was blood magic for idiots.
Figure: a rare one that is… but it’s MINE!!

bleak needle
#

Zack: guess that means he won’t let us take it peacefully

bleak needle
#

Ben: zero! Light!!!

#

zero summons light inside the room illuminating the pale figure of an old vampire

bleak needle
#

Ben: Zack ! No bomb please!!

bleak needle
#

Zack: buzzkill
*they then begin fighting the vampire. He move quite fast and hits hard despite his small frame *

bleak needle
#

they try to throw knives or spells but he evades all of them

bleak needle
#

Figure: MY BOOKS!!!

bleak needle
#

*the figure then picks up Ben and throws him against a wall *

bleak needle
#

Ben: urgh!!
zack then pulls out a garlic bomb and throws it at the vampire

bleak needle
#

thƩ vampire screech before charging Zack in a blind fury

bleak needle
#

zero manages to hold one of his foot enough for the beast to fall down, where Zack give the killing blow

bleak needle
#

Zack: god damn that was fun!!

kind plazaBOT
#

Good job @bleak needle, you just advanced to level 40!
May the broom brooom be with you, and may the demon cow moo guide you towards a better tomorrow.

bleak needle
#

Ben: yeah I’d rather not end like him

bleak needle
#

Zero: but he didn’t tell us where the book was so we’re going to have to search for it urgh

bleak needle
#

*ben then turns to Zack *
Ben: know that for every hour we spend here looking I’ll hate you just a bit more

bleak needle
#

*after a few hours or searching *
Ben: have you guys found it?

bleak needle
#

Zack: no
Zero: nothing here either

bleak needle
#

Zero: he did say this book was rare so maybe he hid it?

#

Zack: but where?

hybrid minnow
#

Zack sees what appears to be the binding of a very old book sticking out on the top of one of the many bookshelf’s..

bleak needle
#

Zack: dammit all this time for it to be on top of it

hybrid minnow
#

Zack makes his way over to the shelf to grab the book, as he reaches out to grab it he sees that the book appears to be missing from inside, all that remains is the binding…

bleak needle
#

Zack:…
ben: what?

hybrid minnow
#

Ben snatches the book binding from Zack’s grip

bleak needle
#

Ben: god dammit
Zero: what?
Ben: it’s empty, no pages

hybrid minnow
#

as the two meticulously look over the book bindings the tension in the room begins to swell

bleak needle
#

Zack: so do we Keep looking?

hybrid minnow
#

Ben shoots a confused look to Zach ā€œ you think a few missing pages will be what stops us now? After all the struggles? There must be more answersā€

bleak needle
hybrid minnow
#

No worries ā˜ŗļø

bleak needle
#

Ben: if it’s empty I believe we should go back to them with the cover. Maybe they’ll be able to do something.

bleak needle
#

Ben: searching for something that may or may not be there is wasted time

bleak needle
#

they pack up their things making sure the old man is dead and remains that way

bleak needle
#

after a while they get back to the old castle

bleak needle
#

Ben: you guys can stay hidden near the cave I’ll be back

bleak needle
#

*ben then enters the castle being greeted by the minions and the vampire leader *

bleak needle
#

Vampire 1: so did you find it?

#

Ben: yes and no
Vampire 3 : what does that mean?

#

ben then throw on the table the cover of the book

bleak needle
#

Ben: either someone took it before us or the bastard ate the page

bleak needle
#

Vampire 2: what are we supposed to do with that?

bleak needle
#

Ben: I dunno but I did bring you what you asked

bleak needle
#

Vampire 2: no you brought an empty book!!

hybrid minnow
#

as they all stand staring at the empty book binding laying spread across the floor the camera pans closer to the book reveling the corner of a letter sticking out out the side of the back binding

bleak needle
hybrid minnow
bleak needle
hybrid minnow
bleak needle
#

Ben: whats that there?
vampire3: where?

bleak needle
#

they uncover the letter in the books frame

#

ben then opens it and read it

bleak needle
#

Vampire1: well what does it say?

bleak needle
#

Ben: no clue I can’t read what it says.
Vampire2: give it to me

bleak needle
#

ben passes thĆ© letter to thĆ© vampire who try’s and decipher it for a bit before giving up

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: I don’t know what that says either… what do we do now?

bleak needle
#

Ben: do we know if it’s a language rather than senseless scribbles?

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: yeah it’s an old OLD language. I wasn’t there when it was spoken and I’m 309years old

bleak needle
#

Ben: … so do we know someone who does speak it?

bleak needle
#

Vampire3: one of the elder of the vampiric council might know it

bleak needle
#

Vampire1: question is do we trust him enough for it…

bleak needle
#

Ben: well? Do you ?

bleak needle
#

Vampire2: we already mentioned the council to him so might as well. But you are not going alone
