OOC: Race? Human, or Vampire?
"By the Gods!! That creature was present at Peregion's ambush and we never saw him? He also seems to be pulling Goran's strings. The vampire attacks on other noble houses can't be a coincidence. This all has to be connected."
"Does this mean the book is a fake? Are we chasing a demon or a vampire?"
Timrin is obviously agitated, his silver eyes glow with a dangerous inner fire.

Hearing all of this talk of vampire versus demon has Kaarlo baffled and perplexed looking. He ponders if anyone in town can help, but that would take time to cull through the contacts and to get people to open up and talk. Time appears to be a non exsistent luxury.
Alethia gets up and in one smooth motion puts the bow back in the quiver. Her expression is intense, her eyes faintly glowing, betraying her emotions.
"I don't know Timrin. But the sooner we get to the lighthouse and investigate it, the sooner our questions will be answered." she looked grim, all humor fled. "We also need to send someone back to Garan. Preferably priests who can turn powerful undead. We need answers from him as well."
"We know we will be facing undead and evil fey both. Possibly assorted mortals as well. They are entrenched, which means they have the high ground. We should expect traps both magical and mundane. With the fey present, they'll most likely be using sleep and charm based attacks. We need protections against that."
She looked at Lord Perigeron. "My lord. Do you have anything belonging to your daughter? I'm sure that somebody here can use that to locate her somehow. I can't, but I know it can be done."

Alethia begins pacing, more out of pent up energy than anything else. "No... Noo. That won't work Dyria. It's a good idea, but it's obvious. They'd expect it. All it would take is one jacknape with a nasty sense of humor and a handy caldroun full of boiling oil and you'd have one very crispy climber." she shook her head and stopped pacing.
"We need a distraction. A show of force. Something to get their attention while a small group goes in, rescues Aleena and takes care of the demon and the summoners." She shrugged. "The small group should only attack the enemy at the last possible moment. Guile and sneakiness are our allies. Bluster is our cover. Once inside, trust nothing not even your own eyes, for the fey love illusions and misdirection."
"We also need somebody to scry the place to see if they're actually there. If the scry is being blocked or altered in some way then we know something is up."

Crimson related what she learned from the object readings to the others.
"I'll be able to scry up there, Alethia," Crimson replied, "but first we want to take the information I've learned and deliver our message through Fin."Alethia said:

Fin, likewise, passes on what he learned from a Reading on The Book.
"The evil vampire was supervising the good mage who faked up this 'book of ancient prophecy'. Whether the mage was possessed by undead demon spiders at the time or not, I couldn't tell you."
"Fake book or not, the ritual itself seems sound. If there's an ancient demon, it looks like it should bind it. The question, though - if an evil vampire mastermind wants us to bind a demon, is it a demon we should be binding?"
"Assuming this 'prophecy' does lead us to Aleena, we're still left with the fact that the demon-binding ritual has no relevance to her abductor - an evil fey. Whether he's working with the vampire, or competing against the vampire, we don't know."
"And, of course, we have the suggestion that perhaps the vampire mastermind killed off some of his own henchmen during the attack on Peregion - that mystery knife lends credence to the possibility he was there. As to why? It seems unlikely the attack was a fake... it's hard to convincingly attack someone while reliably leaving them alive, with a flaming ballista!"
Fin runs a hand through his hair, looking a little harried.
"I hate time limits," he mutters.
"Perhaps Oberon will answer all our questions for us," he offers, though the joke suffers substantially from an unconvincing delivery.

"Alethia, where would this location of Aleena be? How do you know where she is? Or am I misinterperting thoughts?
Why do we want to split up the rescue party? Creating distractions are not always a good thing if the guards are well trained. I know if I was guarding someone and I heard a commotion, I would assume that the main attack would come in any second. Splitting us up like that is not a good idea. I do agree that stealth is good, but I also believe the guards will be waiting for us and prepared and stealth alone will not work."
