Janus creeps forward towards the next pillar mumbling arcane incantations, the floor near the Vampire turns to ice but quickly dissipates as Janus fumbles the scribing of the sigils. The vampire spawn move slowly down the columns, trying to hide their movements. Despite the gloom, Murphy spots his target, the shadows doing little to protect from one who lives amongst them. The assassin creeps forward and carefully takes aim at the enemy. With the creature clearly in his sights, Murphy takes aim, but slips on a bit of loose rubble and his shot goes wide. Shorrin moves forward slowly, his shield covering his front. He throws his hammer... straight into the ground
Dextyr hears the fight begin and makes his way around the corner. Once he sees the horror which they face he quickens his pace and gets with range for an attack and begins to sing an melodic battle hymn.
"You will NOT harm that girl you abomination, and you shall perish this night. By sword and by spell my friends and I will be your demise" Dextyr shouts, his words seeming not to have any effect on the creature, but stirring the hearts of his comrades. Tonk charges forward and smacks the creature with his mace, seeming to be invigorated by the hit.
Larinza turns towards Dextyr and with a glazed look over her eyes lashes out at him with her glaive. The bard takes a minor wound from his ally, confusion on his face. The vampire turns to Tonk, looking angry now.
You will die first. Come down my pet! Suddenly one of the vampire's minions moves down the column and charges the half-orc. The creature slashes at him with its claws, only drawing a little blood but causing a distraction. The vampire moves with lightning speed and bites Tonk, draining his blood. He releases the bite and grins at his bloodied victim, licking his lips and his wounds healing instantly.
He steps back from the group slightly as Larinza seems to come to her senses but still feels dazed by the assault on her mind.
[sblock=mechanics] Tonk heals 4 from hitting the vampire. Larinza uses an at-will Wolf Pack Tactics on Dextyr
1d20+7=22 for 2d4+5=8 damage. One of the spawn charges Tonk and flanks with the vampire. Claws
1d20+13=17 for 5 necrotic damage. Vampire uses Blood Drain on Tonk
1d20+11=17 vs Fortitude for 1d12+2=13 and he heals completely. Larinza is now only dazed TENT
Let me know if I forgot any modifiers, but I think this is right (Dextyr has some ongoing effects)
