[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 4271392, member: 3448"] Sorry for the delay-- real life got a little complicated. Posts should be regular from now on. ------ Zolt pointed at a high chamber on the map. “Here is where Lord Drakhl used to stand. His under-liches and-- more importantly-- his vampire knight will gather there. We must enter the compound and reach the third level with our numbers intact. The vampire in particular is very powerful.” “How many would you send in?” asked Sideh. “Myself, the shaman, and half of my knights,” answered Zolt definitively. “The rest would hold the line against the lesser liches.” “Can we lure the vampire out?” “The vampire will not leave the chamber of command now that his master is dead. The lesser lich with Lord Drakhl had time to send a message before we slew him.” “Does the vampire have a casket that he would defend?” “Casket?” Zolt looked blank. “I do not know. Call for Abedoc.” One of the lieutenants stepped out of the command tent and returned a short while later with the shaman. Zolt looked at the shaman. “The vampire? Caskets?” “Of course, my lord. They must have such things. It is their nature.” “Why did I not know?” “You did not ask.” “Where are his caskets?” “I do not know fully, my lord.” “With them, we could manipulate him.” “I know that he keeps one in the antechamber next to his chamber of command. I do not know where the others are.” “How could we find out where his others are?” “He could have up to four, my lord. No one knows where the others are.” Zolt scowled at this and stared at the map, as if he could divine their locations through concentration alone. I asked another question. “Do they know Lord Drakhl was destroyed and not driven to the phylactery?” “Probably not,” replied Zolt. “They would need to have known that his phylactery was still on the farside of the Light-Dark. I do not know how they would have known that.” “Then if your army has the phylactery, they will have to sally forth to meet you.” “Yes, but the phylactery is still in the bright lands.” “We know where it is. We should be able to recover it and bring it back to your army.” “Ah. Good. Then you will go and bring the phylactery across. We will then draw the vampire forth with its master’s remnant.” Zolt gestured to one of his guards. “Here. Take these vials—they will help. One sip will render each of you invisible for twenty minutes.” The lieutenant gave one vial to Twang and one to me, and we set forth towards the Shadowline. [/QUOTE]
