[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2993276, member: 30035"] 24 Dravago Whitehearth, the Mournlands After resting for the night we climbed up through the opening in the dome. I found that it looked down on a shallow ravine leading past the Emerald Claw camp. With our numbers so few we decided that a swift frontal assault was our best strategy. The artificer prepared us with a few of his handy spells and I said a short prayer to Talaenkara for aid. I think my ancestor Coriandor would be proud. We crept down the ravine quietly, bypassing several skeletal guards by virtue of the human's magic. The ravine narrowed and I had to climb out to look around. One of the human sentries spotted me. I ran partway across a rough bridge and jumped the ravine to charge him, taking him out with one blow. Not before he could give the alarm, though. In a moment I had four humans facing me. I slew two more of them as fast as the first. Then I saw the vampire come out of his tent. I caught a glimpse of a dismayed look on his face. A shadow fell over me. I glanced up to see an airship overhead. Descending on ropes were the other adventurers we'd been trying to outrun. The vampire shouted that he'd give gold and eternal life to whoever brought him the schema. No one took him up on the offer. The vampire summoned up a huge skeletal creature to oppose me. Grinner came to join me and smashed it to bits with his mace. I ran to hit the vampire before he could call another creature. I wounded him badly and he vanished in a mist. Grinner ran up beside me. Then we heard a female voice in our ears asking if we wanted help. Grinner said yes and the mist disappeared, revealing the vampire only a few feet away! Before I could strike him a bolt of lightning hit me from behind. I still don't know where that came from. But I struck the vampire a vicious blow and he fled again. The other party were starting to advance on us. Grinner suddenly lost his head and began yelling about how tired he was of being attacked by everyone for the schema. He took the one he carried out of his pack and threw it at one of our enemies' feet. I didn't want to let it go that easily after all the effort we'd taken to get it, so I charged the man. But another man on the airship caught hold of the item with some magic and wafted it away. I suddenly found that there was a gnome woman standing beside me. I don't know how she got there without my seeing her. The ship started to move off, though some of our foes were still on the ground. The gnome wanted to know if we'd let her join us. She'd been with the other group but said they couldn't be trusted. That was obvious when they left their own people behind. Besides the gnome we also had the half-ogre and the priest. I'll have to hold my revenge on the half-ogre for a later time. The changeling recovered Kylara. He claimed he'd seen the vampire again, and that it wasn't a real vampire at all but another changeling. He said he killed it, but I saw no corpse.
