OOC: Gah. Okay, make it a targeted dispel magic on the vampire instead. And if there's a mirror handy, grab it! /OOC

Alethia turns, taking aim and firing as fast as she can at the evil creature. Her silence during the fight is eerie and she still doesn't waste words. If the arrows don't work, she'll make do with her mace. She really, really doesn't like these guys.

OOC
Favored enemy: corporeal undead, +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against those creatures.

Murdoch, remaining about 3 ft off the ground, will shoot a vitriolic eldrich blast at him, and make it arc to any other foe that appears.

OCC: Please note that Murdoch can see invisible creatures 60' (see the unseen invocation)
Eldrich blast (ranged touch attack): +13 hit (+14 if within 30ft) (+9 base +4 dex (+1 point blank shot), Damage: 8d6 +1 + 2d6 for 2 rounds with vitriolic blast (ref save once to avoid additional damage). Can arc blast to 2 additional targets

Alethia also has a mace of disruption +3. That ought to be good for something. Her arrows are metal tipped bits of wood, which could be construed as stakes. Plus they're holy. Double umph there. :) :]

"Nice daggers," Dyria commented to the vampire, then snapped her whip dagger. "I think I'll take them."

(Disarming, followed by a third hand to bring the disarmed weapon into Dyria's left hand),

Fin approaches Peregion to cure him, when ...

Suddenly, the vampire from those visions steps out from behind a wall on the opposite side of the building. He raises his left hand and a bone from Peregion's arm flies to him, and is observed through his skin into his left arm. He flashes his tattoo'd right arm, and it crackles with unholy energy as three throwing knives flash into existence between his fingers.

Timrin staggers to stand protectively over Peregion's body. Ice, slush and blood mingle freely and drip in an alarmingly steady stream from his battered form. You are quite certain he is spent. One more blow will surely kill him.

"Begone foul parasite!! Only final death awaits you here!"

[sblock] Timrin readies an action to throw down one massive attack if the creature approaches in melee. Smite Evil, Divine Might, Power attack 10: +16 to hit; 2d6+10+2+20+12+5+ 2d6 holy damage. Reminder: Timrin has an Arrow Catching heavy shield. That basically means he gets a +1 deflection bonus to AC vs ranged weapons. Additonally, if the vampire throws at anyone within 5' of me (ie Peregion and probably Fin) it attracts projectiles or thrown weapons of less than +2 enchantment. They will target me instead of his intended target.

Timmy will truly 'take one for the team'.... ouch :( [/sblock]
 

Alethia's eyes narrow as she continuously peppers the vampire with arrows as fast as she can, hoping the holy virtue in them will give the nasty bit of undead crud a sense of mortality to say the least. If her arrows fail to work, she will of course resort to using her mace. When the vampire is no longer a threat, she will use all her resources to heal Timrin and Perigeron. If they still live.

The vampire is extremely fast. Before anyone can act, he throws the knives. One is deflected by Timrin's shield, but the other pierces his the other side of his chest, knocking him down (17dmg, hp-->-5). The other slashes Shando through the side of the neck. The knife embeds itself in the wall, but Shando falls (17dmg, hp-->-6), blood spurting from his neck.

In one fluid motion, his throw becomes a dive and a roll, and he come up a step closer and with three more knives in his hand, which he quickly flicks at Crimson, striking her through the neck, chest, and abdomen (80dmg, hp-->-14 (dies at -27)). She slumps over and slowly floats to the floor.

Suddenly, you hear screeches of griffons, apparently in\visible, buzzing the tower. Those who can see invisible do see them go by. They each have a rider, as well as a man hanging from the bottom of their harnesses. As they go by, each man lets go, jumps through the broken windows, rolls, and lands on their feet. They become visible as soon as they get a certain small distance away form the griffons. Six appear in two groups.

All are large, muscular humans wearing intricately-etched breastplates made form some sort of red metal with gold inlay. They wear red pants, capes, and shirts underneath, with gold-inlaid red metal plate pieces on their legs and worn as bracers. They wear the letter Z made of three gauntlets, like the logo seen on the approaching ships. They each wear a single red gauntlet on their right hand, inlaid with gold, with chain gloves with solid metal behind the fingertips and a round ivory circle on the palm.

As they land, they extend their gauntleted hands and ruby-tipped ivory shaft springs forward and out from the gauntlet by about an inch. They point them in the direction of the Aurilites and the vampire.

One more man, instead of jumping from a passing griffon, flies in, as if aided by a spell. He draws a large, intricately-runed red bastard sword and says "Kurin Manyblades, I am Aiden Zarun. I have come to take on the mantle of House Drakkenmere...Which YOU destroyed! Group one, guard the stairs and kill any Aurilite that tries to enter! Group two, you're with me. The rest of you , defenders of this city, I ask that you join me in slaying this fiend once and for all."

In case your actions change, I'm reopening the declarations for the round.

OOC: 'Drakkenmere' mean anything to us? /OOC

"Nothing would make me happier," Fin agrees. "Can any of 'Group One' spare a moment to heal our comrades?"

That said, he continues with his initial plan of dispel magic on Kurin Manyblades, followed by grabbing a big mirror...
