I don't suppose it matters who actually drives the stake home in what remains of Tallon's desiccated corpse as long as the deed is done. I had intended my post to have Razvan encouraging the stake-holder to finish off Tallon, but I can see how my phrasing could be taken that Razvan took the stake. That wasn't my intention, though. In terms of searching, how much time do we estimate until dawn? Razvan and Demetrius need to find a place to rest/sleep at least part of the day out of direct sunlight: while you don't sleep, you enter a state of quiescence for at least 4 hours a day to recuperate, which lets your undead flesh reknit and recover naturally. Many undead choose to rest when the sun is at its highest. Demetrius and Razvan could take a pair of four-hour long watches to cover the bulk of the day with one of them 'awake' albeit restricted to dark areas of the Tower. Obviously, my main concern is to guard Tallon's remains until/unless we hear from Ekul & Alliester regarding his complete destruction. I suppose the other undead types also need to rest at some point, but they are not adversely affected in a direct sense by sunlight? Razvan is quite willing to give the hound figurine (found in the demon statue on the roof) to Krott or whomever to take back to the coach. He'd prefer to retain the dagger ... just in case. I can put that IC if need be.

"There you are, one well-earned liberation. I trust the check's in the mail, as it were?" He half-heartedly grins, perhaps the most emotion he's shown since awakening from his dirt nap. "Only jest, of course. Though I am hoping Ekul and his friends have a bit more recompense in mind. With Tallon's threat ended, I suppose we ought to give this tower a once-over. We had been told there may be more information on Tallon's connections, and I don't believe we've found all we were seeking. Leaving this place sounds like an equally lovely idea, however."

Quickly! Let's not take chances. After the stake is placed (and the dagger sheathed), Razvan offers his hand to Demetrius. Then, turning to the group as a whole: Perhaps Ekul and Aliestor could advise regarding the steps to take to assure that Tallon is destroyed irrevocably? I'm willing to stay behind to guard this place - maybe with Demetrius - until the group can return. I - we - will need to find a place to sleep soon in any case.

Chapter 1:01. The Dawning Ardis, Ardeal, Ustalev Tallon tries to break free bit the silver dagger to his throat cuts too deeply. His form begins to shift to mist but he is blasted from multiple opponents who quickly overwhelm the vampiric magic. Dead flesh is pummelled and broken, knives slice and stab, teeth rip and tear. The whole body vibrates and shakes under Cyntheria's blows until it begins to disintegrate. Still the vampire endures, if only for a moment, and then collapses in on himself. A desiccated corpse remains, flaking away as age catches up on the undead monster. Demetrius slumps forward, "You did it. I'm free." OOC Scene Notes There is a map in the spoiler below.

Chapter 1:01. The Dawning Ardis, Ardeal, Ustalev Tallon snarls in his coffin though you can only see part of his lower jaw and his chest. Wounds cover every part of his body that you can see. You gather round and pummel at the body. Still, his flesh seems almost as tough as the stone he is entombed in. Even the silver dagger fails to find its mark. Tallon, now trapped in the haven that was his coffin, struggles to get free. OOC Scene Notes There is a map in the spoiler below.

Even still, the logical processes in his mind translate to cold dread at the party reveals Tallon in his stone coffin. Then, Demetrius becomes frozen in place. It seems all it takes to set things from bad to worse is facing their recuperating foe yet again, and he hasn't even lifted a finger yet. He quickly tries to scan the master vampire to determine what state he's in, other than 'dangerous.' Krott drops the crowbar, no longer needing it to open the lid, and make his own strike, as feeble a gesture as it may be. OOC & Actions We knew from discussion with Demetrius and general knowledge checks, I believe, that we had a specific period of time before Tallon would regenerate, and we know that we exceeded that time (though by what amount, I don't know). Even without that, we also know that clearly he must be able to control Demetrius, since he's currently frozen, so he must be conscious or else he couldn't control his spawn as such. So, that tells Krott enough to know that they need to try and take Tallon out again. So, he attacks, after rolling a Recall Knowledge using Medicine (hopefully) to determine what state Tallon is in, to a general degree. Obviously I don't expect an exact HP total, but I'm looking for a reasonable approximation of how healed he seems - ie: His wounds seem nearly all healed, or he still seems weak, etc. Then, attack. Finally, I'd like to try and grab the stake from Demetrius, since he clearly can't use it currently. Is that an action, and if so, is it Athletics to grab/grapple, disarm, etc.? A simple interact action?

While Mr. Mud remains at the edge of the room, he casts his spell while the ghostly girl thrums with vibrational energy. She shouts out, and sonic waves pulse through her, causing her softly-floating hair to whip out like a buffeting wing along with the sound waves. However, her wails are unfocused, and it's hard to land a solid blow on even an unmoving target if you're attacking strictly through the power of primal emotion. OOC C&M Actions Action Act Together: Mud casts Boost Eidolon on Cyntheria, and Cyntheria makes a Strikevs. Tallon with her secondary unarmed strike, dealing sonic damage on a hit.

Per OOC chat in the Discord, I'm taking momentary control of Cyntheria and Mud so we can move on to the next round without waiting for allefgib to respond.

Chapter 1:01. The Dawning Ardis, Ardeal, Ustalev Demetrius relishes the opportunity to slay his former master. He raises a wooden stake, hastily crafted from a table leg, but, just as he is about to bring it down, he freezes, "No! Kill you!" Some force seems to have locked his limbs in place. He's unable to move. The stone coffin is cracked open and the body of the vampire, Tallon, lies within, partly exposed. OOC Scene Notes There is a map in the spoiler below.

Loreli was watching Danior safely in the carriage by this point, and unless this was a decoy, Tallon had to be inside. The question remains: in what condition would they find him? Their resources had run dry, and the vampire is stronger than any of them despite his weakened state. All they can do now is try their damnedest to end this once and for all. They had been given a shot at redemption, and whether they were ready for that or not, running away isn't what 'good' people do. Is it? Krott buries that thought and realigns his grip on the crowbar, ready to lever open the sarcophagus as another member of the group is ready with a stake. Meanwhile, Krott mentally commands Slag to pass him elixirs as necessary once the lid is open. OOC & Actions Prior to opening the lid, Krott will take another . Cyntheria will take the Drakeheart Mutagen and Bravo's Brew ("These taste yucky, Mr. Mud!" "They're good for you, girl! Like medicine." "I hate medicine!" etc. etc.) Slag is commanded to pass items into my hand via the Valet ability. Krott will open the sarcophagus. Someone in the party, either Sal or Demtrius I'm guessing (but not certain), should be ready to stake Tallon if he's still unconscious, or as soon as he is. Maybe even Cyntheria. Mr. Mud will stand back, away from the party members who are grouped up near the sarcophagus (whoever that may be). Mr. Mud will cast Boost Eidolon on Cyntheria on the first round, to improve her damage.

See OOC on this. Since we have no more magic weapon spells, he may as well fight with that weapon solo - I don't see how Double Slice using a normal weapon would be of any use as resistance would mitigate almost all of any damage. Reminds himself to use the Avert Gaze Action (circumstance bonus). Prepares to imbibe a Bravo's Brew (item bonus). OOC As far as we know ... or guess ... the dagger is +1 silver? Can Razvan see a Striking Rune on it (or would he even know what one looks like)? I'm asking so that any needed ATK/DMG rolls are complete. AFAIK then, +1 to ATK and simply 1d4+2 for damage?

Demetrius, I'm not sure if it's safe for you to take another of those potions, but if we need to fight your master again you'll want to be protected from his influence. I've got some elixirs which will aid us during another fight; take them when we're nearly through, or be ready to take them immediately if Tallon flies out of the coffin. Their effects won't last long. I have these two which will enhance mental defenses, which will last an hour and should be taken now as a precaution. These will toughen one's skin, and in a pinch you can concentrate to expend the remainder of the effect for a burst of speed." Krott passes out elixirs to those who want them, and gives instructions to Slag to pass him his bestial mutagen should combat be necessary. He picks up a tool and looks to the others, ready to begin smashing into the sarcophagus once everyone is prepared. "And someone be ready with that silver dagger!" OOC & Actions I've got 2 Lesser Bravo's Brews, which will provide a +1 item bonus to Will saves (+2 vs. Fear, which will help mostly against demoralization). Razvan should get one, and that leaves one more for whoever wants it. Sal and Mr. Mud both have +7 bonuses to Will, so it's a toss-up. I'm not sure if Eidolons can benefit from elixirs but it seems like they can (they're not magical, they're specifically alchemical). I also have some Lesser Drakeheart Mutagens, which provide +4 item bonus to AC (overriding any existing armor) with +2 Dex cap and base proficiency off unarmored proficiency; a +1 item bonus to Perception; but it comes at a cost of -1 penalty to Will and Reflex saves and -1 to Recall Knowledge. As an action you can expend the remainder of the 1 minute duration for a Final Surge, allowing you to Stride twice, then the mutagen ends. I believe I've used the remainder of my Soothing elixirs, and I used my one remaining reagent to make another that I took. I believe we still have one Oil of Unlife, if someone needs it. Additionally, I'm operating under the assumption that we had Loreli escort Danior to the carriage, or that one of us had enough time to do so, since we had been discussing it previously. He should not be in eyesight of Tallon by this point.

Chapter 1:01. The Dawning Ardis, Ardeal, Ustalev Razvan isn't sure. He's more used to small traps, needle darts in locks, that sort of thing. This is structural and far outside his experience. Krott starts shifting furniture to support the coffin, holding it in place so that opening it can be done safely. Cyntheria and Mr Mud help and soon everyone is using book shelves and tables to construct a kind of scaffold. Demetrius stalks around scowling at everyone, not really helping and spending most of his time on the floor above with his sword at the ready. Whatever was in the potion he took seems to be wearing off and leaving him irritable in the process. After about an hour Krott is satisfied that the scaffold will hold. Books lie scattered in the corners of the room but you are, at last, ready. OOC Scene Notes There is a map in the spoiler below.

The bonus is +1, or +2 to find secret doors and traps. A flash of inspiration hits Krott. "Hmm, perhaps we can address this directly in a more level-headed fashion... by adding leverage. You see, Tallon has this rigged so the wrong jostle will send this stone box crashing below... but maybe if we just counterbalance with the proper cantilevered force..." Krott grabs the suspended bookshelf plank and some of the discarded ropes from the floor, rigging them into the exposed space between floors to provide enough support so chiseling into the sarcophagus won't disturb the trap.

"It's going to take too long to crack far enough into it to get it open safely without endangering us bysending the thing crashing through the floor below. Tallon will begin regenerating before we get it open, and by the time we've cracked it he'll be back to full strength. I'm open to suggestions. Demetrius, this is personal for you. What do you think?" OOC & Actions --edit-- OOC/Discord conversation has turned up an idea. I'm going to roll a Crafting check, as before, to see if Krott could figure out a way to weaken the floor boards under the statue on the top level so it would come crashing down. We're theorycrafting a bit, but if we can find a way to hold the coffin in place a bit and keep it from fully crashing down with everything else, we may be able to keep it accessible and be able to get it open more easily. But that requires triggering the tower collapse without the coffin's trap.

I'd say you've been in the tower for about two hours now. It's been about 15 minutes of searching to find the hidden coffin. To chisel out a large enough hole you're looking at an hour's work. Still a few hours till dawn.

In response to the last post, does Krott have any idea how long it would take to chip away enough of the stone to get at the contents? Can you tell us how long it's been since Tallon went unconscious, with all of our recent searching for the coffin and such presumably having taken time not measured in rounds?

Hopefully I've answered your thoughts in the post. I assume they are ideas and so generally public.

Chapter 1:01. The Dawning Ardis, Ardeal, Ustalev Demetrius is impatient to just smash their way in an kill his master but Krott carefully looks at the way the coffin is placed and the many supports that use the coffin itself to hold the floor above him together. If the stone sarcophagus can somehow remain largely intact by chipping the stone open or otherwise making a hole in it large enough to kill the vampire then that would bypass it. That might take some time though and would certainly alert the vampire to their presence. He just doens't know a vampire, recovering from the destruction of its physical form, could do in such a situation. Meanwhile Sal considers burning the contents of the coffin, or the whole tower to the ground. It might be possible. A lack of air inside the coffin would probably extinguish most nonmagical flames and you'd need to set the whole tower blazing to ensure the vampire was killed. If the body is not destroyed there would be nothing stopping it from rising again the following night and there's no guarantee that a fire would do that. There are always things that survive in house fires after all. If the tower were somehow brought down then you might be able to dig through the rubble and expose the coffin to daylight or otherwise destroy the inhabitant. There is a lot of uncertainty there though. OOC Scene Notes There is a map in the spoiler below.
