House Millithor in COSQ: part 3

[Endur]

Marckarius mentions that before Velasta and Torellan left, they were talking about finding a vampire. Torellan feared that the yellow mold growing in his lungs was about to slay him, and wished to continue in undeath.

The Aranea mention that they know the crypt where several vampires keep their coffins.

ooc:
Then that's where they will go, unless I have to crush a rebellion first.

 

[Endur]

The Araneas lead the drow of the Houses Millithor and Morcane and their allies to a stone door set in the wall. Narcelia, Quertus, Dariel, and Marckarius recognize this door as leading to the last crypt before the exit from the Dodrien crypts.

The door does not appear to be locked or warded, but it is shut.

 

[Serpenteye]

ooc:We enter once everone is ready. Ki'Willis goes first to draw the attacks of any vampires to herself, to best preserve the resources of the group. The bebs are ordered (indirectly) to use their etherealness to maximum advantage. She trusts everyone to proceed as they see fit.

 

[Endur]

The drow silently enter the crypt. A sarcophagus (with a lid on) is in the center of the crypt and several graves have been hollowed into the walls.

None of the dead appear to be active.

After making preparations, the drow remove the lid from the Sarcophagus and discover two bodies. Kilcif drives a crude stake through the heart of the human body. The vampire awakens, but crumbles to dust before he can bit Kilcif.

Torellan's body, also in the Sarcophagus, has been drained completely of blood.

Torellan is dead.

 

[Serpenteye]

She looks at the corpse of her son sadly, and says musingly to herself.
"Torellan, it is well to see that you will recuperate, eventually."

This new form you have chosen for yourself is so very limited, my child. Though it does offer certain advantages...

ooc: Does Torellan need that particular sarcophagus (to rest in every night and regenerate in if he's been defeated), or can he use any dark hole? Can he enter the noble level of Szith Morcane without being invited by Dorina? Or does Ki'Willis count as the rightful owner of SM?

 

[Uriel]

Preparing his magics for the vampires, kripp is slightly let down when no battle comes forth. There will be time and opportunity to deal with them, as well as to fulfill certain necessities of a different nature.
Staying by the Matron's side, Kripp keeps his Symbol Mand ace at the ready.

 

[Serpenteye]

Ki'Willis orders the rogues to search the graves for anything of value.

 

[Endur]

OOC: You are not sure, but you think Torellan will need this particular sarcophagus or something from it (dirt, etc.) to rest in every night. You have no idea whether he will be able to enter the noble level of Szith Morcane.

[Endur]

The searching drow discover sacks of coins containing 4850 silver pieces, 950 gold pieces, a garnet ring (non-magical) and a fine emerald.

A surface world human materializes behind the searchers and strikes one of the Aranea, inflicting vampiric level drain.

"Thought to rob the dead, did you? That's what we thought we'd do, too."


The vampire does not survive the combined counter attack of the assembled drow.
