Mud reached up to Cyntheria who picked him up and followed the others up the stairs. The negotiation over, Mud was happy to let the others drive the discussion with Demetrius. Mud felt odd. Such negotiations where the focus on what each wanted from a selfish point of view were second nature to him and how he had spent much of his life. Now though he no longer 'lived' and his motivations were, whilst techniclly selfish, still unclear to himself and not his primary driver. He looked to Cyntheria. Most of this was lost on her. A curious look had crossed her face but based on her tense posture Mud was sure she was ready to fight.

"This boy may have suffered Cyn. Steel yoruself."

Cyntheria glanced at Mud as she nesteld him in the crook of her arm.

"We'll make the bad master pay!" she said fiercly. "I won't let him hurt you!"

They both feel silent as they saw the fresh blood in the room above. Mud squeezed her arm and Cyntheria's face screwed up in an angry scowl. They scanned the room for danger or anything else out of place.

Krott finds the mess distasteful. Poisons and, if the situation demands it, an undetected dagger in the back left much less mess behind. This is sloppy, unless... could it have been deliberate? What sort of barbaric brute would choose to cause so much waste? Especially for a vampire, whose continuing unlife is tied so closely to blood consumption, this seems far too excessive. The only possible explanation is that this vampire believes he has blood supply to spare. He is either grossly overconfident, or... potentially... right on point.

Whilst the party gathers and they await a reply from Demetrius, Razvan will Seek to determine whether there is anything about this scene that is not as it seems.

OOC

Sorry for the lack of formality: just wanted to get in this Seek (Perception) roll without all the Template accessories. I'm getting a bit lost between different Games, but we are rolling for our characters 'secret' rolls here?

Chapter 1:01. The Dawning	Ardis, Ardeal, Ustalev

---

Demetrius blinks at Razvan, "Did your maker not tell you what weaknesses vampires have?"

"Sunlight will kill us. A stake through the heart will incapacitate us. Beheading will stop us too. I'm told that going without blood for long enough will eventually kill us though we'll be incapacitated long before then."

The room appears to be a combination of prison, torture chamber, and vampire buffet although there is no current meal on the menu.

"True vampires can turn to mist and shape change or dominate the will of the living with nothing more than a look. My master has spend days working on his ritual, I can feel his exhaustion through our link."

"The floor above has his library. The one above that is overgrown with magical herbs, I know not what they do. Above that is his chamber where I am not permitted, and then the altar on the roof where the child is."

"If you want to make stakes to slay him, use the table legs to carve them." As he points to the table the temperature in the room suddenly drops. Those who you who breathe see it misting before you. Cyntheria is suddenly surrounded by spirits trying to drain the life from her, leaving her frozen.

OOC

Could all living creatures (Cyntheria) make a basic DC17 Fortitude save or take 9 cold damage. On a critical failure you are also Clumsy 1. This is a Haunt rather than a creature attacking. It lasts for 1 round and then fades for an hour.

"Did your maker not tell you what weaknesses vampires have?"

They appear to have left that out of the mission brief, Razvan replied with some asperity. Still, it was possible that they had learned something encouraging: exhausted - and perhaps weakened. Maybe it was time to move along and put matters to the test. You wouldn't happen to know where his coffin lay?, Razvan asked suddenly, hoping to catch Demetrius a bit off-guard.

He looked to the others to see whether procuring stakes held any interest, though if swords and magic did not suffice, he doubted whether the luxury of a staking would be provided.

Are you leading, still, or shall I? posed the newly made vampire to the spawn. It occurred to Razvan that Demetrius might be holding off on imbibing the blood potion just before the encounter with 'the Master' so as to escape the latter's control during the denouement. At least, so the fighter hoped.

 

OOC

Razvan will either lead up the ladder or follow Demetrius. He will have to Interact to sheath his dagger to have a free hand with which to climb.

Fetchling (Liminal) Features: Fetchling

• Shadowtongue Link
• Darkvision Link
• Liminal Heritage Link You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to locate undetected creatures within 60 feet when using the Seek action. Your flat check to target concealed creatures is DC 3 instead of DC 5, and your flat check to target undetected creatures is DC 9 instead of DC 11.

• Weakness to Sunlight slowed 1 =>
• Drink Blood Action 
• Basic Undead Benefits (below)

Basic Undead Benefits : Link

• Necril: You know the Necril language.
• Undead Vision: You gain low-light vision, or you gain darkvision if your ancestry already has low-light vision.
• Negative Healing: You are damaged by positive damage and aren't healed by positive healing effects. You don't take negative damage and are healed by negative effects that heal undead.
• Negative Survival: Unlike normal undead, you aren't destroyed when reduced to 0 Hit Points. Instead, powerful negative energy attempts to keep you from being destroyed even in dire straits. You are knocked out and begin dying when reduced to 0 Hit Points. Because you're undead, many methods of bringing someone back from dying, such as stabilize, don't benefit you. When you would die, you're destroyed rather than dead, just like other undead.
• Immunity to Death Effects: You're immune to death effects. This keeps you from being automatically killed or from having your dying value automatically increase, but it doesn't make you immune to other parts of the spell or effect. For example, you can still take mental damage and become frightened by a phantasmal killer, you just don't instantly die from it.
• Disease and Poison Protection: You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to saving throws (or any other defense) against disease and poison.

Appearance

As a Vampiric (undead) Fetchling:

Height: 6'1" (186 cm)

Weight: 151# (68.5 kg)

Eyes: pupilless, a blue grey color that is brightest in the center and darkens gradually towards the edges, but now have a sort of seething incandescent quality as lighter, brighter spots continually rise to the surface and dim.

Fangs (brawling, grapple). Nails hard and sharp, but with no game mechanical feature.

Hair: color unchanged, but now has a sense of weak luminescence about it.

Complexion: pale marble-like white. Lips have a shade similar to eyes except after blood feeding, when a more purple luster is observed.

Shadow: as a vampire, none; nor does Razvan cast a reflection in a mirror.

"Mr Mud! Are you ok!" she hissed through clenched teeth.

Sal, immune to cold, jumped a little as Cyntheria screeched. "Bloody hell..", she says through gritted teeth. She looks at the others.. "Cyntheria makes a good point. Let's kill this piece of shit. If he turns to mist and tries to flee out of the tower. I can have Deathclaw follow him, so we'll have at least some idea of where he is during the day.", she adds, her expression at war with itself. She seems only marginally less terrified of the encounter to come than she is eager to get it over and done with.

"When the time is right, I have a magic weapon spell, which should help in the fight against him."

Chapter 1:01. The Dawning	Ardis, Ardeal, Ustalev

---

Demetrius allows Razvan to lead. Climbing the ladder you enter a cold but well furnished library. Book shelves line two walls and there is a writing desk in the centre of the room. It is messy, covered in scraps of paper and open books. A fireplace in one corner lies cold and disused.

"He's been pouring over his notes for days. It's all gibberish to me."

OOC

A critical success on the save means Cyntheria takes no damage

Sal's eyes light up, well as lit up as dead ghoul eyes ever get, on seeing a book collection. Even so, it's not the bookcases she heads to. It's the pile of notes and books on the table. She then begins collecting the notes, folding them neatly and placing them in her belt pouch.

Focus Spells (1 points) Boost Eidolon Range 100 feet; Targets your eidolon Duration 1 round You focus deeply on the link between you and your eidolon and boost the power of your eidolon's attacks. Your eidolon gains a +2 status bonus to damage rolls with its unarmed attacks. If your eidolon's Strikes deal more than one weapon damage die, the status bonus increases to 2 per weapon damage die, to a maximum of +8 with four weapon damage dice.
Evolution Surge Range 100 feet; Targets your eidolon Duration 1 minute You flood your eidolon with power, creating a temporary evolution in your eidolon's capabilities. Choose one of the following effects:Your eidolon gains low-light vision and darkvision.; Your eidolon gains scent as an imprecise sense up to 30 feet. .; Your eidolon can breathe underwater and gains a swim Speed equal to its land Speed or 30 feet, whichever is less. Alternatively, if your eidolon is normally aquatic, it can breathe air and gains a land Speed equal to its swim Speed or 30 feet, whichever is less. Either way, it gains the amphibious trait. .; Your eidolon gains a +20-foot status bonus to its Speed. .; Heightened (3rd) Add the following options to the list of effects you can choose:Your eidolon becomes Large, instead of its previous size. This increases your eidolon's reach to 10 feet but doesn't change any other statistics for your eidolon. Because of the special link you share, you can ride your eidolon without getting in each other's way. If another creature tries to ride your eidolon, both you and the riding creature each regain only 2 actions at the start of your turns each round, as normal. .; Your eidolon gains a climb Speed equal to its land Speed. .; Heightened (5th) Add the options from the 3rd-level version and the following options to the list of effects you can choose:Your eidolon becomes Huge, instead of its previous size. This has the same effects as the 3rd-level option to become Large, except your eidolon's reach increases to 15 feet. ; Your eidolon gains a fly Speed equal to its Speed.
Reinforce Eidolon Range 100 feet; Targets your eidolon Duration 1 round You focus deeply on the link between you and your eidolon and reinforce your eidolon's defenses. Your eidolon gains a +1 status bonus to AC and saving throws, plus resistance to all damage equal to half the spell's level. Your eidolon can benefit from either boost eidolon or reinforce eidolon, but not both; if you cast one of these spells during the other's duration, the newer spell replaces the older one.

No scholar am I, said Razvan softly, noting Sal's enthusiasm. He had heard the aphorism "labor like scholars," in the Lady Sanguina's court.

He made a quick scan of the room, taking particular notice of the seemingly unused fireplace hoping to find a hidden mechanism of some sort. He also tested (just with his hand) whether there were any airflow draught. It struck him that this might be used as an escape path for a creature in vapor form.

That said, there was no time to linger for a more thorough search and he didn't want the doll to become unstitched.

Before heading up the ladder to the next level (GM: is that it there in the SW corner?), one that might hold promise for the hulking alchemist, Krott, if Demetrius' description held true, he posed a question to the Spawn: are there any doors above that might require a deft hand? Razvan had a set of thieves tools and he had some experience in their use.

He frowned in frustration at the thought: he needed more hands than he had.

When everyone was done, he led the way up the ladder, wondering whether Demetrius would take the potion once they reached the next level.

Fetchling (Liminal) Features: Fetchling

• Shadowtongue Link
• Darkvision Link
• Liminal Heritage Link You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to locate undetected creatures within 60 feet when using the Seek action. Your flat check to target concealed creatures is DC 3 instead of DC 5, and your flat check to target undetected creatures is DC 9 instead of DC 11.

• Weakness to Sunlight slowed 1 =>
• Drink Blood Action 
• Basic Undead Benefits (below)

Basic Undead Benefits : Link

• Necril: You know the Necril language.
• Undead Vision: You gain low-light vision, or you gain darkvision if your ancestry already has low-light vision.
• Negative Healing: You are damaged by positive damage and aren't healed by positive healing effects. You don't take negative damage and are healed by negative effects that heal undead.
• Negative Survival: Unlike normal undead, you aren't destroyed when reduced to 0 Hit Points. Instead, powerful negative energy attempts to keep you from being destroyed even in dire straits. You are knocked out and begin dying when reduced to 0 Hit Points. Because you're undead, many methods of bringing someone back from dying, such as stabilize, don't benefit you. When you would die, you're destroyed rather than dead, just like other undead.
• Immunity to Death Effects: You're immune to death effects. This keeps you from being automatically killed or from having your dying value automatically increase, but it doesn't make you immune to other parts of the spell or effect. For example, you can still take mental damage and become frightened by a phantasmal killer, you just don't instantly die from it.
• Disease and Poison Protection: You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to saving throws (or any other defense) against disease and poison.

Appearance

As a Vampiric (undead) Fetchling:

Height: 6'1" (186 cm)

Weight: 151# (68.5 kg)

Eyes: pupilless, a blue grey color that is brightest in the center and darkens gradually towards the edges, but now have a sort of seething incandescent quality as lighter, brighter spots continually rise to the surface and dim.

Fangs (brawling, grapple). Nails hard and sharp, but with no game mechanical feature.

Hair: color unchanged, but now has a sense of weak luminescence about it.

Complexion: pale marble-like white. Lips have a shade similar to eyes except after blood feeding, when a more purple luster is observed.

Shadow: as a vampire, none; nor does Razvan cast a reflection in a mirror.

Chapter 1:01. The Dawning	Ardis, Ardeal, Ustalev

---

Demetrius heads to the ladder at the other side of the room and waits while you collect and peruse the notes.

From what you can tell they detail a ritual that is similar to the create undead ritual for vampires. The difference is subtle but Krot, with Sal's assistance, is able to tell that it can be used to create a new form of vampire. The vampire ritual is in the first book but the changes are detailed in the notes. According to the increasingly erratic scribbles it requires a half vampire child who will be killed during the ritual and raised as a powerful spawn under the control of the ritual caster.

There are a number of preparatory steps involved including the victim being drained of blood almost to the point of death over several days and drinking a potion that keeps them alive and alters them in some way. The potion is described on a separate page and seems, as far as you can tell, to be written by someone with skill in magic but none in alchemy.

Moving ahead of Demetrius, Razvan climbs up the ladder and peeks his head up into the room above. Another ladder can be seen on the other side of the room but the intervening space is packed with strange plants, some of them glowing. The stench of plant decay hits him which tells him that many of the plants are fungi of some sort.

No scholar am I, repeated Razvan under his breath, this time in serious concern rather than amused comradery.

He had a general notion of poisons and the myriad sources that gave rise to them. He had used them in drink and on his weapons to deal with those who had opposed him in the past: Nidal was rife with noxious compounds of all sorts. But this was far beyond his experience.

He pondered interrogating Demetrius and/or asking Krott to take the lead: but, he decided that the former would have little to say that he had not already offered and, if the group was to take advantage of the Master vampire's current weakness, they needed to get on with the task.

Razvan had caught Sal's implication that they might wait for dawn and Demetrius had remained silent: of course, such a plan would put himself and Demetrius out of action too, but the question, he supposed, was whether the ritual was planned to be complete by then.

He would have taken a deep breathe to steel himself had that been possible now. He contented himself with making a warning sign to those that followed and moved into the room to allow the others to come up, being particularly cautious not to touch or bump anything.

He took a moment to scan the macabre growroom, carefully looking for he knew not what.

Fetchling (Liminal) Features: Fetchling

• Shadowtongue Link
• Darkvision Link
• Liminal Heritage Link You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to locate undetected creatures within 60 feet when using the Seek action. Your flat check to target concealed creatures is DC 3 instead of DC 5, and your flat check to target undetected creatures is DC 9 instead of DC 11.

Vampire Features: Vampire Dedication

• Fangs Unarmed Attack
• Revulsion to garlic or holy symbol of a Good Deity
• Weakness to Sunlight slowed 1 =>
• Drink Blood Action 
• Basic Undead Benefits (below)

Basic Undead Benefits : Link

• Necril: You know the Necril language.
• Undead Vision: You gain low-light vision, or you gain darkvision if your ancestry already has low-light vision.
• Negative Healing: You are damaged by positive damage and aren't healed by positive healing effects. You don't take negative damage and are healed by negative effects that heal undead.
• Negative Survival: Unlike normal undead, you aren't destroyed when reduced to 0 Hit Points. Instead, powerful negative energy attempts to keep you from being destroyed even in dire straits. You are knocked out and begin dying when reduced to 0 Hit Points. Because you're undead, many methods of bringing someone back from dying, such as stabilize, don't benefit you. When you would die, you're destroyed rather than dead, just like other undead.
• Immunity to Death Effects: You're immune to death effects. This keeps you from being automatically killed or from having your dying value automatically increase, but it doesn't make you immune to other parts of the spell or effect. For example, you can still take mental damage and become frightened by a phantasmal killer, you just don't instantly die from it.
• Disease and Poison Protection: You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to saving throws (or any other defense) against disease and poison.

Appearance

As a Vampiric (undead) Fetchling:

Height: 6'1" (186 cm)

Weight: 151# (68.5 kg)

Eyes: pupilless, a blue grey color that is brightest in the center and darkens gradually towards the edges, but now have a sort of seething incandescent quality as lighter, brighter spots continually rise to the surface and dim.

Fangs (brawling, grapple). Nails hard and sharp, but with no game mechanical feature.

Hair: color unchanged, but now has a sense of weak luminescence about it.

Complexion: pale marble-like white. Lips have a shade similar to eyes except after blood feeding, when a more purple luster is observed.

Shadow: as a vampire, none; nor does Razvan cast a reflection in a mirror.
