Pathfinder 1E [LPF] The Haven

Jonas ends one of the skeletons with a mighty blow, sending broken pieces of bone raining over the side of the railing and onto the floor below. Although not as dramatic, a flurry of arrows, acid and elemental blows take down the others. The last, somehow, disappears into extra-dimensional space as the spell ends, and the main group of adventurers can hear Pirvinia and the wounded man pursuing the swarm of spiders as it skitters down the hallway and under the door to the right.

The door was closed, but that did not deter Jeremiah. Trying the door, he lowers his shoulder and, in a display of considerable strength, smashes through it in the first attempt. Pirvinia hears a gruesome pop as he does, and is left to wonder what sort of injury he sustained in doing so. He winces, but continues inside.

The room seems to be a small office, filled with shelves of various books and documents--quite possibly a treasure trove of historical information (and the exact sort of thing your employer would be interested in.) There are two beds set up here, and both of them are occupied. One of the residents Pirvinia is already familiar with, it is the reforming body of the vampire just bested in combat. Another is a female, apparently asleep. Her monstrous features leads Pirivinia to think she is of the same kind. Curiously, she does not move as either Jeremiah nor Pirvinia enter.


A quiet gasp from Jeremiah is followed by only one word, "Evelyn." Pirvinia can hear it clearly, although Jonas, Thuvian and Samad, now running up after finishing up the last of the skeleton guards, don't quite catch it. Pulling a vial of clear, apparently unpolluted water from the ragged folds of his clothes, he steps towards the female vampire's bed, his falchion scraping on the floor.

[sblock=Combat Over]We're still watching the clock, but it's not exactly combat any more. Jeremiah is closing in on the female vampire.[/sblock]

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female


Pirvinia spoke in a low voice to Jeremiah, “Is that holy water you have there?” She took out a pair of the vials and held them out for her familiar to take, leaving one left for herself.

Far'ziel took the vials in each hand then flew higher up, near the ceiling and awaited her msitress's command on whether to use them or not.

[sblock=Actions]Took out Holy Water and gave them to Far'ziel.

Thuvian enters quietly, and upon seeing the actions of the others, hangs back away from the beds, ready for trouble as he does an an quick initial inspection of the books and papers easily accessible.

Samad seems to be stopping a moment to tend to his fallen friend. Casting a magical spell, he stabilizes Tsaaruk, but the man does not regain consciousness. Moving him out of the way, Samad hurries to catch up with the rest of the group.


In the chamber with the two slumbering vampires, Jeremiah eyes up the vial of water he had presented. "Yes," he intones, "It is holy. Or it was... a long time ago. I have... kept it sealed almost, religiously..." His words trail off and he cracks something of a smirk after that last comment. He then adds, "So... what to do?"

[sblock=Samad]Samad's player has informed me of a two-ish week absence so I'll be posting for him to keep things moving along.[/sblock]

After the idea of stakes are mentioned, the group surveys the room. There is a wooden chair that, given the right 'encouragement', would produce the sort of stake Jonas is after. With a little breaking and then cutting work, within mere minutes Jonas has, in his big meaty hand, a functioning, nosferatu-slaying, wooden stake.

About this time, Samad peers in from outside the room. "I've got Tsaaruk taken care of," he mentions simply. A quick glance shows Tsaaruk is up and about, albeit physically supported by Samad. The mighty barbarian's eyes are dull and tired--it seems he will be a while in recovery until he is up to par. However, to allay unspoken concerns about him, he gives Pirvinia, Jonas and Thuvian a thumbs up.


Panning back to the room, Jeremiah has popped open the seal on his vial and is busy lacing the brow of each of the dormant nosferatu with the clear, pristine liquid found within. As the liquid hits the skin of Sampson and Evelyn, it sizzles a bit. Although Jeremiah is overtly careful in pouring the water and spreading it with a handkerchief, a little gets on his hand as well, and he grunts softly from the pain. However, he finishes his work with dogmatic determination and looks up, "They... are ready."

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female


Pirvinia had Far'ziel hang on to the holy water vials for the moment, telling her to wait in their secret language.

With Jonas getting the makeshift stake, she got ready to support woth magical spells should the efforts to slay the vampires go awry.

“I am ready, should something bad happen. Go ahead, Jonas and stake them.”

Thuvian continues to watch cautiously, ready for trouble.
