Although the Nevermores didn't completely swarm Fen to the exclusion of all else, they clearly had been drawn towards her negative emotions. Between the two landing to attack her, the one Sorin had trapped still being near her, and the others kinda drifting towards her, they ended up just a bit clustered.

This proved to be a mistake, as Sorin sent more vines of Plant Dust snaking along their ranks. Some of them were fast enough to dodge, but three were caught by the tendrils of Dust, and it did not go well for them, two of them wrapped up almost entirely in the vines, binding them although also presenting enough of an obstacle to attacks that their being basically completely immobilized was kinda a lateral move in terms of defense. The third had it even worse, crushed by the vines until they collapsed on themselves to release a gout of black smoke.

Fen's concussive shot sent one of the huge Nevermores near her slamming into the one next to it, damaging them both and causing them to kinda get tangled up with each other for a few moments.

The Nevermore Nicoale fired proved that size wasn't everything, its extraordinarily swift flight allowing it to keep ahead of her shot despite its vast bulk.

Chapi's sudden change from helpless flailing passenger to drop-kicking ninja warrior caught the Nevermore completely off guard. Maybe it would have been less surprised if it paid more attention to popular on-line fanfiction communities! ...Or maybe not since they technically existed in the future. Whatever, point is, her kick hit it like a meteor, causing massive damage and also setting it on fire.

Doctor Brown's Semblance offered quite a bit of tactical utility in combat. But it had its other uses. Such as getting access to technology that had yet to be invented. Brown collapsed his gattling gun down, down, and down some more, the huge firearm collapsing down to a greataxe, the blades of the axe collapsing in and the haft shrinking down to an elegant walking cane, and the cane shrinking down in a manner that might have seemed impossible if you weren't familiar with Lin and Delores until he held what appeared to be...a screwdriver.

He pointed it at the nearest Nevermore, paused, kinda glanced at Fen for a moment, decided even by his standards this was not the time for that, and fired a lance of sound at the monster before sweeping it down to slice across the three that had clustered around Fen's former position.

Rhys's axe blazed with light, stripping away the shadows of the half-destroyed hostel, and the vampire spawn hissed in clear discomfort. Honestly, they didn't realize how good they had it, because in the next moment Rhys went tearing through them with a will, his blazing axe striking flesh and gas with equal ease, the light itself terribly damaging to the vampires. Its mere presence might have weakened them enough to be easy targets had they still been upstairs, but fortified by their Master's presence and will, they were still able to defend themselves, moving in blurs of hasted speed.

Even so, it only went so far when it came to avoiding the Olympian's blade, and two of them went down, with several others coming out injured or even stricken by the light. The ones whose Auras broke started lightly smoking in the sun-bright luminance.

But Vlad himself, though he clearly treated the light as a noteworthy threat, was not so susceptible. He drew his cape around himself like a shield, the violet light of his Aura paying over it, and it blocked Rhys's axe like steel armor, allowing him to withstand the attack with only a notch taken out of his Aura. The crimson eyes of the master vampire peered out from the shadows beneath its folds to meet the Olympian's gaze.

"Ah. Mister Ascleps, I presume. ...Cinder mentioned you."  Huh that was weird how did this guy know Cin-oh. ...Snap.

It would appear that you guys hadn't just stumbled into a nest of vampires. You had stumbled into the plot.

Two of the vampires reacted to Lapis's healing, firing blasts of dark energy and lancing their gazes at Solstice, in an effort to prevent him from healing anyone. Maybe if the other two who had been planning to do that had weathered Rhys's assault it would have worked, but Lapis was just too fast, weaving his threads among all of his allies and forcing the vampires to divide up their attention and efforts. In the race between damage and healing, healing won handily. Solstice gasped as she suddenly regained control of her body.

Vlad's cape remained raised as Anya glowing boot struck, and it held up well, but it still took another chunk out of his Aura and knocked him back a pace or two.

"Hohoho! Thanks Rhys! Solstice! You good?"

Well to be fair she was still kinda grappled by a pair of vampires but that aside, "I...I think so."

"Alright then. As for you lot, feed on this!" And Nick slammed the North Pole down on the ground, sending a wave of pure jolliness rushing out over the field. Not to conceal from Grimm, or even to influence the mind, but in an effort to overwhelm whatever fell influence Vlad was exerting on his minions to allow them to act with such vigor.

Ben sprang left, aiming his rifle and firing a charge of Thunder Dust in a conic blast at several of the vampire spawn.

Solstice...wanted to go heal Jack, but she wasn't going to be able to wake him up quickly and even if she did he'd be in danger with his Aura broken. And others needed healing too. She nodded in agreement with Lapis, "Thank you," she said with quiet sincerity, and then with a snap of her fingers a shimmering wave of pink Aura energy fell over the center of the room, passing over the vampires as if they didn't exist but gradually restoring health and Aura to her friends it touched. It would continue doing so for as long as they remained within it, and for several seconds thereafter.  Meanwhile, she threw her whole body into a sudden wrenching twist to try to break free of the vampires' hold.
