Ben: they were gone when I woke you up
Zack: that doesnāt make it any better!!
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: Iād punch you but time is running so letās look around
they looked around for a good hour, finding lots of body and trace that led a bit more up north
Ben: letās follow the tracks. Ready yourself in case thereās a daywalker
Zero: a what?
Ben: daywalker. I came up with a name for vampire that can live in sunlight
Zack: well⦠itās catchy
Ben: anyway follow the tracks
they follow the track and end up in front of a cave with more blood in front of it
Ben: must be where they hide during the day. Anyone brought garlic bomb?
Zack: no they smelled too much for the boat crew so we had to ditch them
Ben: dammit. Do we go in since we got 2-3 hours before sundown or do we wait for tommorow?
Zack: letās go in
they descend deeper, the smell of rot intensify
Ben: guess these are ferals shouldnāt be too hard⦠depending on how many there are
Zack: Iāll go in first
they descend until they see the coffin of the old vampire, coffins look more like makeshift boxes rather than proper coffins
Zero: Iām almost sorry for them!
Zack: almost!
Ben: donāt move⦠they are in the corner there
Ben: does anyone have artificial light?
Zack: those I could bring!
he shake a few potions and throw them on the ground creating bubble that light up the cavern
the light shines and reveals 3 pair of eyes staring intently at the Vh
ben then throws a few knives, Zack ready his sword and zero prepares to cast her magic
the one receiving Benās knife charges him, the other two go after Zack and zero
the one charging Zack gets promptly cut in half
And zero has dispatched her with ease, Ben finishes his with a stake throught the heart
Ben: these were ferals. Explains why did fought like mindless beast
Ben: hmmm the exception or the rule?
Zack: hopefully the rule because these were easy!
Ben: the question become was it one of them who turned the two other or is it someone else?
Zero: I donāt know any way to do thatā¦
Ben: doesnāt matter. These canāt be the only one⦠maybe the only one close enough to town to cause trouble but thatās it
Zack: yeah probably. We should also look around to see if there are any clue as to why they are here
Ben: letās be quick time is running out
*they looks around in the pile of clothing left on the floor to try and find something *
after a while they abandoned and left before it got dark
on the road back to the town
Zack: I feel like we didnāt really take care of the problem more like remove a brick from a falling wall
Ben: yeah⦠but for todayās thatās all we got. 3 dead isnāt that bad
Zero: now that I think about it. Did the āāothersāā have any instructions for you when they learned youāll be here?
Ben: all I did is send them a message saying Iām taking a trip here on VH business
Ben: they havenāt contacted me since. So I have no clue about their presence here either
Zack: dammit that could have been useful
Ben: if they need to inform me of something theyāll figure out a way.
Zack; sucks for us.
Ben: not that much
Zeros: why?
Ben: because if we used the intel against them theyd become aware that there is an Intel leak
Zero: yeah there is that
Ben: letās hurry back to town . I donāt want to spend a night outside here if I donāt have to
*they hurried back to town, arriving there with nightfall *
Zack; Iām guessing we are not telling them weāre done tommorow?
Zero: we only killed 3 vampire itās not enough to claim case closed
Ben: anyway letās go to bed. Tommorow is another day
night passes
Zero: we should ask around town for more info. More definite place then that village
Zack; yeah gives us more info than a single village
Ben: then letās go ask question and letās regroup here at 12h for lunch
everyone agrees and goes there own way
after a few hours of talking with the locals. They come together at the agreed upon location
Ben: I didnāt get much an abandoned town to the south
Zack: Iāve heard a good and bad Info!
Zero: ⦠well what are you waiting for?
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
Ben: and the bad?
Zack: no precise location other than on the other side of the moutain
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
Ben: sure letās do that. We canāt go behind the mountain today anyway the travel time is too long
Ben: do we meet up here tommorow morning?
Zero:⦠no your not going to do that
Zack: what are you talking about?
Zero: youāre not going on a mission alone over the Mountain. For what we know they are all savage. Youāll get torn to shreds
Zack: tell me you werenāt thinking of that!
Ben:ā¦
Zack: zero is right this is madness
Ben:ā¦. ok Iāll wait until we have proof of intelligent vampire to do this
Zero: and donāt think about doing this kind of stuff anymore!!!
Ben: ok ok I wonāt
Zero: you better!
Ben: anyway letās gather info on the other side of the moutain
Zack: yeah
Zero:ā¦.
*all of them split up to again ask questions, this time about possible abandonned settlements on the other side of the mountain *
*just before night fall they meet back together *
Ben: anything new for you? I couldnāt get anything, most peasant were too scared to even talk about the place
Zack: I went inside a tavern
Zero:ā¦
zack: hey donāt judge old people with story to tell tend to be there
Zero: Iāve convinced a few peasants to talk to me. Apparently there a castle on the other side of the moutain about 3-5 hour walk
Zack: yeah that came up as well. Apparently there was an old legend about this castles owner, deal with the devil kind of thing
Ben: great so now we have a destination
the night passes they gather their equipment and head out for the castle at dawn
Zack: so what is our objective once to the castle?
Ben: I think: locate the castle, locate a hideout for the night, go to castle to investigate or wait till Tommorow
Zack: sounds good
Zero: yeah
*they travel for hour seeing a few more abandoned settlements before seeing from afar the castle *
Zack: whistles big place
Ben: that also means lots to explore
Zero: letās find a place to sleep for the night and start again tomorrow
Ben: agreed!
Zack: we should hurry up then. From the position of the sun we donāt have more than 2-3 hours
*they continue their expedition until they find a relatively well hidden cavern *
Zack: no fire. Unless zero can do one without light and smoke
Zero: canāt do. Plus that would be terribly dangerous
Zero: can you imagine . Fire you canāt see⦠incredibly dangerousā¦
they go to sleep after a cold meal. Ben is the first to be on guard duty
Ben: letās try the blood vision. See if there anything nearby
ben activate the blood vision and yo his relief sees a bunch on wildlife outside the cave
|| to his relief because that means there is no monster nearby. The wildlife would have ran away if there was one||
*the night passes without any happening *
the group wakes up after a rough night sleeping on the cold stone ground of the cavern
Zack: castle here we come!!
they walk for a bit before entering the run down castle
Zero: looks like itās been abandoned for a long while
Ben: abandoned and not cleaned by vampire can be very similar
*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
Ben: luckily for us there are broken wall so the sun still shines through
the group encounter a few bedroom and a dinning room
Zero: itās clean here. No trace of blood.
Ben: let me try something
ben then turns on his vampiric sight to see the table covered in blood
Ben: they eat at the table⦠they are real good at cleaning it
Zack: what do you mean?
Ben: vampire vision, there was a great quantity of blood on that table
Zero: so if they clean in this must be a base of intelligent vampire!
Ben: good thinking. But since itās day time they must either be asleep or wandering the halls
Zack: hopefully asleep!
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 couldnāt be quieter a job. Protect them while they sleep. No one come in that old castle anyway
Unknown 2: and if we serve them good enough we get immortality. Whatās not to like
Zero: whispers human servants!
Ben: luckily for us they said their masters are asleep right now
Zack: so do we kill them or�
Ben: letās try to sneak up on them.
Ben: if we can knock them out quickly their boss might not wake up
Zack: ok⦠3..2..1 go!
a the servants were incapacitated without a sound
Ben: good, hopefully they didnāt wake up
Zack: letās tie them up and muzzle them so they can scream when they wake up
Ben: good idea
they then proceed to muzzle them
Zero: guys I think I found the master bedroom!
Zack: what do you mean theā¦. Oh!
in front of them are about 4-5 coffin line up with portrait above them
Zack: this is going to be the easiest vampire to kill of my career
Ben: donāt kill them yet. We need to interrogate them
Zack: interrogate them for what? Our job is to kill them thatās it
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
Zack: sometime Iām wondering if your not too soft on them because of you know what
Ben: first, f you
Second, you know it make sense
Zack: yeah yeah. Letās be quick
*they continue investigating this area of the castle *
Zero: I think thatās all there is here. Maybe itās an outpost rather than a real base?
Ben: maybeā¦
Ben: the only way would be to talk to them
Zero:⦠you really are fixated on that!
Zack: you want to talk to them?
Ben: I meanā¦. Yeah?
Zero: you-
Ben: how else are we going to get solid info on them? Iād like to remind you that we are in uncharted territory here
Ben: and now that their lackeys are tied up they know someone is after them
Zero:⦠so what would be the plan to do that?
Ben: well the bigger the bluff the better right?
Zack: not in poker
Ben: you suck at poker!
Zack: no I donāt!
Zero: you do suck at poker but Ben pls explain what you mean
Ben: so you guys hide somewhere. I stand here and explain Iāve been looking for them blah blah mention the guy in Europe and mostly improvise
Zack:And where should we hide? The place is pretty run down
Zero: well we donāt have to do it here⦠we could leave a message for them to meet up at X place
Ben: so we could choose a place where you could hide.
Ben: outside the castle would an idea. Itās close and they wonāt have time to prepare
Ben: letās do just that
*he finds a piece of paper and miraculously a pen and writes the following *
- Iāll be outside the front door waiting for you. I hope your lackeys arenāt to roughed up
Love, Ben *
Ben: itās done, letās get out and prepare for them
*they got out of the castle and settled for a spot they could in. A few hours were left before sundown *
zack and zero are now hidden behind a rock near the entrance to the derelict castle
Zack: hopefully they donāt sleep too much. I donāt like hiding here
Zero: yeah⦠but hopefully the vampires presence scares away anything else that might be here
Ben: hopefully⦠hey I think itās them!
two silhouette come out of the castle looking around
Ben: well then showtime!
he comes out of behind the rock
Vampire 1: you must be the one who tied up our servants!
Ben: correct⦠didnāt 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
Ben: anyway Iāve come from the European branch donāt know if you guys have a link with them or not⦠which is probably something I shouldāve thought beforehand
Vampire 1: first question why are you dressed as a VH?
Ben: I donāt have to answer that.
My teeth are enough of an answer to any question
Vampire3: arrogant arenāt we
Ben: well Iāve got reasons to be confident
Vampire2: do you even have proof of who you claim to be?
Ben: well I know Gerald from the European branch can attest to who I am. But he isnāt 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
Vampire3: someone had to! New continent for hells sake
Ben: indeed⦠so have we decided not to kill me yet?
Vampire3: ⦠not for now at least. We still have to talk about your attire
Vampire2: letās talk about it inside the castle!
Ben: sure. Iāll follow
Zack: whispers: what is this moron doing
Zero: heās waking straight into the lions den!
Zack: we should go in and kill them!
Zero: no⦠all we can do is wait
back inside the castle wall
Vampire 3: here is something I donāt understand. Our minion are smart enough to stay in the light when facing a vampire so how?
Ben: they didnāt see me coming being one big factor
Vampire1: even then it shouldnāt be possible. The beer are still in their cup. Not even trace of a scuffle
Ben: well there might be an explanation⦠they didnāt know I was a vampireā¦
Vampire 2: explanation would be more than welcome
Ben: sunlight doesnāt bother me
Vampire3: thatās bull****!!!
Ben: only one way to find out is there?
Vampire1: indeed there is⦠when the night is over youāll go into the sunlight for an hour.
Ben: we still have a few hours , anything else youād like to discuss while we wait?
Vampire2: why are you wearing VH clothing!?
Ben:⦠Gerald told me not to spread that info too much but⦠Iām infiltrated inside the VH organization
Vampire3:⦠go onā¦
Ben: I got turned into a vampire on a mission. Realized it a bit late. But I knew Iād 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 thatās about it
Vampire2: hmmm how did you feed during your time in the VH?
Ben: hunting duty was mine most of the time because most of my team sucked at hunting
Vampire1: so youād drink the blood of the animals. You mustāve been so weak!
Ben: weak enough to pass as human! That was the goal and it worked. But I knew I couldnāt stay there forever so when I met Gerald I thought of something.
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 thatās about it
Vampire2: the sun is coming up and so is your time if you lied
Ben: I havenāt.
*he then steps in front of a broken wall to see the sun rise while the other hide *
the sunrise slowly but surely as the rays shine on Ben and the wall behind him
*vampire1 come close to the broken wall and stick a finger out in the sunlight *
*and immediately burns his finger pretty badly *
Vampire1: š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬
Vampire3: now we know he didnāt lie
*ben then take a sip of his flask *
Ben: I mean I told you
Vampire2: whatās 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 *
Vampire1:š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬. next time you do the testing
Ben: I mean I told you so.
Vampire2: how can this be?
Ben: no clue. But itās real usefull I can tell you that
Vampire2: are you still vulnerable to garlic and the like?
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
Vampire2: religion icons?
Ben: still hurts⦠a lot
Vampire 2: still is a lot, with this you arenāt a slave to the sun
Ben: so are we on relatively peaceful term now?
*all three vampire look at each other before nodding *
Vampire 2: for now yes
Ben: ah also. Weāve been sent to reduce the number of vampire attacks on the humans. Would it be possible toā¦
Vampire3: we donāt attack human itās the ferals. Human turned and abandoned by their master
Ben: so killing them would solve the problem. Would you have general indication as to where some of them are?
Vampire1: do you have a map?
Ben: yeah here
thƩ vampire puts a few mark on the map
Vampire1: these are a few spots we know of.
Ben: thanks. Anyway been a pleasure talking to you but I gotta go
Vampire2: fine. You may go
Ben: on a side note. Can we keep the whole undercover daywalker under wraps please?
Vampire3: we can keep a secret.
Ben: see you later!
*he then goes out the castle back to the temporary hideout *
back in the hideout both Zack and zero are there
Zero: where were you all this time youš¤¬š¤¬
Ben: whoa whoa slow down
Ben: let me explain what happened
he explains what happened
Zack: your lying ability really are goodā¦
Zero: and you said they were here to build a branch ?
Ben: so that means we wonāt be able to do anything about it until someone else learns about it
Zack: what do you mean. We know there a branch. Letās ask for reinforcements and destroy them!
Ben: how will we explain how we got that info? Iād be suicidal for me
Zero: heās right we have to do a reportā¦
Ben: but I got something else. The location of checks map 4 feral hive
Ben: so we technically are doing what he asked us to.
Zack: at least there is that⦠where are they?
Ben: luckily for us on the other side of the moutain.
Zack: good cause I donāt know if I couldāve handled another night sleeping on stones
Zero: me neither. Anyway letās go back to the other side of the mountain
*they pack up their things and leave to go back to the village *
after arriving to the village they stay together
Zack: should we attack one now or wait tommorow?
Ben : probably tommorow⦠i should also ignore the place we already hit
Ben: that leave us with 3 places to hit. After that we can go back to see our handler
Zack: and explore this place a bit more freely hopefully
Ben: anyway letās go to sleep for today. Sorry for the anxiety
night passes and our group heads out to destroy the feral nest
*they arrive at a house near a cemetery *
Ben: there should be one near here⦠be cautious there no telling how many there are
Zack: yeah yeah
Zero: if you arenāt careful you might end up like Ben
Zack: gulp ok ok
*they check out the cemetery *
Zero: normally they shouldnāt be able to walk on consecrated ground.
Ben: I feel nothing⦠this ground isnāt holy anymore⦠but how?
Zero: itās not that hard . Break the crosses, a few ritual , lots of blood and tadaa
Ben and Zack:ā¦.
zero: hey donāt look at me like that. I had to learn how to do the opposite so I thought might as well
Ben: right. Letās just find info on where the f**kers are
Zack: well there is an that small building there that leads underground
Ben: yeah. I know it has a name but I forgot what it is. Letās go down there.. carefully
*they descend for a bit before entering a large room filled with stone caskets embedded in the walls *
Ben: lovely place ⦠as final resting place goes
Zack: how many room are there?
Ben: donāt know but prepare yourself
*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
they back away to form a strategy
Zero: what do we do. There too many of them!
Zack: we have garlic bomb why not but a bunch there and kaboom
Ben; i think you forgot about someone
Zack: oh right⦠any other idea?
Ben:⦠zero you said you learned how to consecrate a cemetery right?
Zero: yeah but what⦠oh thatās good
Zack; what are you guys taking about?
Ben: reconsecrating the grounds of the cemetery and blocking the ferals in would be a plan
Ben: and if they manage to escape its still daytime so they are out
Ben: how long would it take to do it zero?
Zero: about an hour and thatās if you guys get me the material to make makeshift crosses. The better looking the better
Ben: the better looking really?
Zero: better symbol better holy magic
Ben: ok. So sticks and stone. Letās go Zack
they leave for a bit to gather material to build a few crosses
they come back hands full or sticks stones and grass
Ben: will this be enough?
Zero: with this much it will hurt like hell but wonāt be enough to kill them in less than an hour
zero takes a dozen or so minute to explain to the duo how to set up the sticks and stone for the ritual
they set up the stones for the ritual
Ben: weāre done you can go ahead zero
zero does here ritual
immediately after they can hear screams coming from below and a familiar voice
Ben: š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬. Should have thought about it
*ben gets out of the cemetery *
Ben: yeah I think Iāll stay here
*the sound of screams seem to get closer and closer until they hear banging on the barricade that lead underground *
the banging grows louder until the barricade breaks letting about 5 ferals out
the ferals leave the cemetery but are burned to death by the sunlight leaving our trio clean up
after having made sure that all of them were dead and having burned the remains on a large bonfire
Ben: thatās spot one. Now on to spot number two
they travel for a bit before finding a hole in the side of a cliff
Zack: that would be a great hiding spot. Can I use the bombs now?
Ben: only the garlic one. Wouldnāt want to break the cliff!
Zack: yeah donāt worry, just stay back.
Zero: hey shouldnāt we check just to be sure not to get an angry bear coming at us?
Zack and Ben look and each other for a sec
Ben: yeah you might be right
they donāt have to enter too deep in the cave to hear snoring from the ferals
they get back out the cave
Ben: Zack Iāll let you do your thing with the garlic bombs
Ben: Iāll just step back on that one again.
ben then retreats a bit before Zackās throws about 5-6 garlic grenade
after a bit a few loud explosions are heard followed by screaming
after a few seconds a few ferals jump out of the cave running to hide under the trees nearby
kind of burned up and much angrier than before , the ferals jump on the trio as soon as they reach the shades
ben throws a few knives, Zack decapitates one of them and zero pushes one in the sunlight with her magic
*after a bit more fighting the VH managed to defeat the ferals *
they then drag the body into the sunlight and destroy them for good using a stake
Ben: that was hive number 2. Do you guys want to risk being here at night or?
Zack: letās go back.
Zero: I surprisingly agree with Zack
*after they burned the bodyās they leave for the village *
they sleep through the night and head back out to finish the job
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: letās look around!
they look around the house , inside and out but find nothing inside or outside that would indicate ferals activity
Ben: if they arenāt here then where are they?
Zero: are you sure itās ā
Ben: yeah triple checked
Zack: then why-
Peasant : can I help you guys?
*everyone turns around to see one massive man, about 30-35 year old, about 6.3 feet tall staring at them suspiciously *
Ben: hi, we are looking for ferals vampire roaming around. Some people pointed here but we donāt see any activity of ferals
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
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.
Peasant: Taken.Care.Of
zack: then you wont mind if we ask a few more questions?
Peasant:.... course not
zack: how many of them were there?
what did they do and why are you hiding them?
Peasant: about a handful, they attacked people and because they we- ⦠sneaky littleā¦
Zack: why are you hiding them?
Peasant: some of them were family, others were friendsā¦
Peasant:⦠you are going to kill them arenāt you?
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
Ben: and if he abandoned them once⦠I donāt think heāll help them
Peasants:ā¦
Peasant:⦠I couldnāt really help them anyway
Peasant : follow me
they then go into the lonely house
Zero: we already checked here!
Peasant: under the rug?
Zero:ā¦.
Peasant : Iāll take that as no
*he then pulls the rug revealing a hatch. He opens it and beneath are 5-6 ferals sleeping soundly *
the peasant goes out of the house whispering: do what needs doing
Zack: whispers: garlic bomb?
*soon after a few explosion sounds are heard along with screaming *
Peasant: what are you doing!!?
Zero: putting them out of their misery the safest way
Peasant: they are screaming!! he looks at his axe
Ben: you knew this was inevitable⦠and painfull. The quicker itās done the sooner you can move on
*screaming stops**after a few minutes, Zack comes out of the house *
Zack: itās done. We still have to bring the bodyās and burn them
Peasant: Iāll do it
Zack: they are dead but Iām telling you this because it is the WORST smell ever
Peasant: leave now!! While I still have some patience left.
Ben: well burn the body and then weāll go. After that you may never see us again⦠deal?
Peasant:⦠make it a quick.
they then take the bodyās out of the cave and burn them far away from the house
Zack: guess weāre not going back to tell him the jobs done?
Ben: indeed. Thatās the second to last one on the map. So all we have left is one
Zero: good news!
Zack: if we hurry up we should be able to make this one before sundown
Ben: letās hurry then, follow me!
*they travel for a bit seeing the sun go down like a reminder to hurry up *
they arrive at the specified location Just before sundown
they arrive in the middle of a field
Zack: are you sure this is the place?
Ben: I double checked!
Zero: then triple check because weāre running out of time
Ben: ok ok
the sun begins to set
Zack: god I hate the tall grasses here
Ben:⦠F*** theyāre underground!!
as the sun set about 4 ferals come out of the ground out of what looks like small hand made cave
two of them start attacking Zack while the others go after Ben and zero
Zack: I kinda need help here!
zero torches her opponent and starts helping zack
after that they manage to defeat the remaining ferals with relative ease
Zack: what was that!!?
Ben: them underground⦠no clue
Zero: how can we be sure thatās all of them?
Ben: garlic bomb in the hole perhaps? And if it persists weāll just come back
Zack: seems fair *he picks a few bomb and goes through each hole *
the smell of garlic fills the air around the trio
Ben: now that we are done letās go before meeting any more of them
*they then rush back to the village *
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
Ben: now we have to find him again
Zero: no need heās right there!
they spot the vendor in the distance setting up shop for the day
they approach him
Ben: your feral problem has been taken care of.
Vendor : our what?
Ben: the rogue vampire youāve been facing are ferals, freshly turned vampire that was abandoned by their master
Vendor: ah, and itās dealth with?
Ben: yeah like I said.
Vendor: wonderful⦠wait if what you are saying is true then wonāt we have a problem with the vampire who keeps creating these ferals?
Ben: indeed thatās one the reason why weāre not leaving yet
Vendor:? what are the other?
Ben: well the length of the trip back is a good one
Zero: the smell of people after 2 month on a ship
Zack: the boredom is thƩ worst
Vendor: oh⦠right
Vendor: well getting rid of that rogue vampire would be necessary before I can consider this mission as successful
Ben: yeah we figured that one out
Ben: well have to keep looking around for him
Vendor: come back when heās dead and I should have news for you
Ben: yeah yeah. See ya
*they get far away from the vendor and begin brainstorming on how to get the info about the rogue vampire roaming around creating ferals *
Zero: how could we get info on that vampire? I mean there is the long way of doing it
Zack: yeah Iād rather avoid looking at every death in the area for month if I can
Ben: asking more questions to the vampires themselves would be an idea
Zero:ā¦. at least this time your not hiding it
Ben: are you against it this time?
Zero: always. But itās that or months looking around
Ben: any objections Zack?
Zack: if that can save us from month of boring work , none
Ben: so letās go there again today before we have to move there in the dark
Zack: yeah letās hurry up
*they then travel quickly back to the cave thatās still empty *
they set up camp, again without fire
Zack: glad I brought small mattress to put under us.
ben picks up a few thing and move towards the caves exit
Zack; be careful.
Ben: donāt worry about it. Iām already dead remember
Zack: try not do do it again
reaching the castles there are more guards than last time
Ben to the guards: hey, Iāve come to talk to your masters!
Guard 1: are you friends with them?
William: I wouldnāt say friends⦠yet but I do know them.
Guard 1: two guard go escort him there and if heās lying dump him.
ben gets escorted all the way up to the upper floor of the derelict castle
there he meets the three vampire he met the other night
Ben: hey!
Vampire3: what is he doing here?
Guard 2-3: he said he knew you guys
Vampire 3: we are going to have a talk about who you can bring up here
Vampire1: what do you want?
Ben: well I donāt remember asking last time if you had intel in the feral maker
Vampire2:⦠Francis have you received rapport of a vampire that makes ferals?
*ben hears a voice coming from another room *
Francis: eh lemme check
Francis : we got one near the old greywood estate
Ben: greywood ? Where is that?
Vampire 1: thatās 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 itās only natural you do something for us
Ben: what would that be?
Vampire 2: we need a little something from a little somewhere
Ben: can you get to the point please! Iād rather not be out all night
Vampire2: there a book in the greywood estate we need to open a portal to the old continent
Ben: that would be cool to use⦠sadly I canāt
Vampire 3 : why?
Ben: how suspicious would it be to have come back so quickly.
Vampire 3: ah right. Well if you ever need it itāll be here. As long as you bring us the book
Ben: pls describe said book please
Vampire1: itās a red leather bound tome titled: blood magic for idiots
Ben: why would a human aristocrat have that kind of books?
Vampire2: he was a collector of some sort.
Ben: Iām guessing I can take whatever else I want from there?
Vampire1: money wise sure. Books wise weād rather not, might be more interesting books that lay there
Ben; understood. Iāll be going now. Suns about to rise
Vampire3: donāt forget red leather bound book with blood magic written on it
Ben: donāt worry I wonāt forget. I really have to go
ben then goes back to the cavern
Zack: so where could that f*** be?
Ben: heās in a decrepit mansion about a days walk away from the tower
Zero: thatās it? They didnāt ask for anything and trust you enough to give you this info for free
Ben: I have to grab a book.
Zero: not any old book I presume?
Ben: blood magic for something
Zero: blood magic!!, that canāt be good
Ben: well thatās what they asked for. Plus you could take a look at it first
Zero: there is that..
Ben: anyway letās go now.
they then travel again until they see a large gated estate
Zack: this place is almost as big as the hq on the old continent!!
Ben: yup. Now to find an entry
Zack: we could always bust a wall open with a bomb.
Zero: and alert everyone of our presence. Please donāt
Ben: there has to be a gate to this place!
and indeed there was. After following the wall for a bit they find the entrance and some incredibly rusty gates on the ground
Ben: itās getting late we should get inside and bunker down for the night
they get Inside the house easily due to the lack of door and choose an room without windows as their sleeping room
the night passes peacefully for the most part
*as they wake up they begin searching the home for the book and the rogue vampire *
Zack: whatās the name of the book again?
Ben: something something for idiots
Zero: blood magic
Ben: ah right, also be careful this house has enough dark spots for surprise
after a while they get in front of an old and heavy looking wooden door
as they enter the see rows and rows of bookshelf filled to the brim with books in different color , size and width
a singular figure is there in front of a burning fireplace
Figure: Iām busy reading please leave
*the group remains silent , unsure of how to approach this person *
Figure : if you wonāt leave I will escort you out myself, I wonāt be gentle
Ben: Mr greywood?
Figure: he knows who I am, interesting intruder arenāt we
Ben: Iād like to borrow a book!
he kind of shout that to give himself courage.
Figure : and a reading man even better!
the fireplace suddenly shuts off putting the room In the dark
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 *
Ben: I think it was blood magic for idiots.
Figure: a rare one that is⦠but itās MINE!!
Zack: guess that means he wonāt let us take it peacefully
Ben: zero! Light!!!
zero summons light inside the room illuminating the pale figure of an old vampire
Ben: Zack ! No bomb please!!
Zack: buzzkill
*they then begin fighting the vampire. He move quite fast and hits hard despite his small frame *
they try to throw knives or spells but he evades all of them
Figure: MY BOOKS!!!
*the figure then picks up Ben and throws him against a wall *
Ben: urgh!!
zack then pulls out a garlic bomb and throws it at the vampire
thƩ vampire screech before charging Zack in a blind fury
zero manages to hold one of his foot enough for the beast to fall down, where Zack give the killing blow
Zack: god damn that was fun!!
Good job @bleak needle, you just advanced to level 40!
May the broom
be with you, and may the demon cow
guide you towards a better tomorrow.
Ben: yeah Iād rather not end like him
Zero: but he didnāt tell us where the book was so weāre going to have to search for it urgh
*ben then turns to Zack *
Ben: know that for every hour we spend here looking Iāll hate you just a bit more
*after a few hours or searching *
Ben: have you guys found it?
Zack: no
Zero: nothing here either
Zack sees what appears to be the binding of a very old book sticking out on the top of one of the many bookshelfās..
Zack: dammit all this time for it to be on top of it
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 bindingā¦
Zack:ā¦
ben: what?
Ben snatches the book binding from Zackās grip
Ben: god dammit
Zero: what?
Ben: itās empty, no pages
as the two meticulously look over the book bindings the tension in the room begins to swell
Zack: so do we Keep looking?
Ben shoots a confused look to Zach ā you think a few missing pages will be what stops us now? After all the struggles? There must be more answersā
|| Iād rather keep Ben if you donāt mind. If zero and borth donāt manifest you can use the other two ||
No worries āŗļø
Ben: if itās empty I believe we should go back to them with the cover. Maybe theyāll be able to do something.
Ben: searching for something that may or may not be there is wasted time
they pack up their things making sure the old man is dead and remains that way
after a while they get back to the old castle
Ben: you guys can stay hidden near the cave Iāll be back
*ben then enters the castle being greeted by the minions and the vampire leader *
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
Ben: either someone took it before us or the bastard ate the page
Vampire 2: what are we supposed to do with that?
Ben: I dunno but I did bring you what you asked
Vampire 2: no you brought an empty book!!
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
||thanks for that didnāt know what I would with it||
||i assumed im sorry for messing up your rp||
|| hey donāt be sorry itās good if more people participate ||
|| well then you better figure out what the letter says haha||
Ben: whats that there?
vampire3: where?
Vampire1: well what does it say?
Ben: no clue I canāt read what it says.
Vampire2: give it to me
ben passes thĆ© letter to thĆ© vampire who tryās and decipher it for a bit before giving up
Vampire2: I donāt know what that says either⦠what do we do now?
Ben: do we know if itās a language rather than senseless scribbles?
Vampire2: yeah itās an old OLD language. I wasnāt there when it was spoken and Iām 309years old
Ben: ⦠so do we know someone who does speak it?
Vampire3: one of the elder of the vampiric council might know it
Vampire1: question is do we trust him enough for itā¦
Ben: well? Do you ?
Vampire2: we already mentioned the council to him so might as well. But you are not going alone
