"280 gold"
"I think some Heal scrolls aren't a bad idea."
"That's 1650 gold per scroll. How many shall it be? Starting with three, you get a free scrollcase."
"Stam cuckles at the free scroll case idea, I will prepare spells to try to contain them in one spot to make it easier. What about a Daylight spell, don't Vampires hate day light?"
"If it was that easy, they'd be much less of a menace. I think it is specifically sun light, they don't like. And garlic." Lini gives her 2c worth.
"True, undead were not my thing, devils and coaxing information out of people. I can cast Daylight, I will prepare it for our assault I guess."
Stam looks through some of the spells books. "Do you know if you have Emergency Force Sphere (4th), Great False Life (4th)?" Stam looks at Lini
"In what administration form?" Lini asks.
"Spells for me to copy into my own spell book, or scrolls and I can do it later." Stam says
"Sure. You just have to give me some time to find the spell book, that is in." Lini tells and starts going through her mind, where she filed that.
Do you have a Magical Silver Heavy Flail? Or a way to enchant this Adamantine flail up a bit more so it acts as a silver flail?
Also maybe we need some extra Death Ward Scrolls?
Spugnoir purchases a Death Ward formula. Don't like garlic? Hmm..I wonder if I could research garlic bomb to make them sick.
"Like moussaka, thrown into their face?" Lini asks with a mischievous smile.
"I don't do enchantments, but I have someone who does. If you have three weeks time, it can be done."
"In the meantime I'd suggest, you take this nice holy mithral mace instead. Costs only a measly 2000pp"
"What about that Raven headed mace? Would that benefit you Grergof?" Stam asks
Actually that would work.... I wouldn't be quite as effective a my flail but, I could use a shield, which might help with the level drain...
He turns back to Lini.
What do you have for Magic shields for a reasonable price?
"All my prices are reasonable. If it is reasonable to buy powerful magic items you need to decide on your own. 4170gp, for this nice magical steel shield."
"This might seem unreasonable now, but once you hold it between your pretty face and that toothy mouth of that ugly, acid drooling monster, you'd consider it a bargain."
You could not buy the shield and attract the attention of attractive people that like scars.
Against Life draining Vampires? I think I'll skip the attractive people's attention.
The shield seems reasonable.... I'll take it.
Spugnoir buys a sipping jacket and some potions

"Looks like I need to restock, after you're done with your shopping." Lini smiles.
"How do you get around? I am curious to know that." Stam says with a smile.
Lini hands Stam the books with the spells he requested and a vial of special ink. "Here is what you need. What do you mean, how do I get around?"
Something like being able to teleport yourself and your shop around.
Stam nods at Spugnoir's assessment, "What he said." Smiling Stam takes the offered supplies. "Thank you."
"I'm working on something, that you only need to speak out my name three times, and I'll appear with my shop right where you are. But so far I'm simply doing branches in every big city all over Golarion. You're just lucky to meet me in person, instead of one of my many siblings." Lini replies.
"Interesting, well we are very thankful for your presence and helping us out as you have." Stam says looking up.
Darius looks around perplexed. "I want something, but I'm not sure what. Extra protection, an upgrade in armour, a shield or a more powerful sword. Choices choices choices."
"The only limit is the sky - and your pouch." Lini replies. "The best shield is gone already. But I can offer you a nice mithral breastplate with magical enhancement. For slightly above 8000 gold."
"Or if you're into very special items I can offer you some other shield. Not as good with the protection, but with some nice effect towards light shy creatures like vampires." the gnome explains retrieving a light steel shield with a brilliant sun motive on it. Costs roughly the same as the breastplate. But you'll probably be the only one who has one."[/b]
"These spells will do for me, so we plan to go there during the day since that will offer us the best advantage. Lini do you know much about vampires?" Stam asks
"Not too much. I heard that you shouldn't invite them into your house." Lini tells.
Darius eye's perk up at the sound of the shield AND breastplate.
"You know, I'm short about 2000 gold pieces then I can get both the shield and the breastplate. Tell me Ms Lini, how mych could I get odd the price if I trade in this shield and armour?" he says pointing to the shield on his back and the armour he's wearing.
I can spot you the cash for them
"They look barely used. I'll take them for the 2000 gold you're short, if you buy those items." Lini suggests.
"Thanks Spugs, but Ms Lini is very generous indeed. Thank you Miss Lini, you have a deal." Darius says as he takes off the breastplate and reaches around to take the shield off his back.
after much clanking and organising all his equipment, the curse of an adventurer, he places both the armour and shield on the counter for Lini.
Stam cringes a bit at all the noise that Darius is making, stopping his very fine penmanship to wait till he can concentrate fully again.
"Don't forget to put down the coin too." Lini reminds Darius, as she goes to fetch the breastplate for him.
As all coins, items and the last niceties are exchanged, the party moves on to their quarters to idle the rest of the day away and rest for the night. Only Stam has to stay a long while to copy all the spells he wanted and Spugnoir for the formula.
After a healthy breakfast on the next day, the group leaves to meet with Quinley Basdel again for their not so healthy endeavor of visiting vampires, without being invited.
Quinley meets them at the southern entrance of the park. "Glad you could make it." he greets them.

4.Restoration,Death Ward,Death Ward
Good to see you as well. Know anything about the park and what might be inside?
"Yes, actually. The park is no issue. The entrance is through the glass house. And there you find the daytime minions of the vampire guarding the entrance. I'm not exactly sure what the current team is though." Quinley replies.
Well do you want to approach openly, or do you have something sneaky Mr. Stam?
I have an invisibility extract for the more noisy of us to drink
Quinley looks puzzled at the half orc. "How's that going to help?"
Would my armor not need something that silences me as well?
Well they would hear something but not know where you were so you can get a surprise attack
"Maybe we should just walk right up to them. We are rather formidable."
"I can cloak us all in invisiblity, the same spell I have used before. As long as we stay close, If they can sniff us out though the spell won't do to much against that." Stam says
Sounds good to me.
"Sounds like a plan Stam."
Stam will cast the spell before they get close enough to their Destination. "everyone put a hand on someones shoulder, we stand in a square around me and I will focus the magic on my Staff." Stam casts the spell and taps Grergof to lead them forward.
The group suddenly disappears from sight which startles the two watchmen fromthe city's constabulary, who just came around the corner.
"Did you see that?"
"What?"
"This group, that disappeared right there!"
"No. Stop drinking in the morning."
"I'm not drunk!"
"Shut up and move on."
And so they do and the group can enter unseen the southern entrance of Restoration Park. The path to the glasshouse leads past three standing stones.
On a clearing with crossing roads stands a massive statue, depicting Soividia Ustav, the founder of Ustalav, astride a rampant destrier with an upraised blade.
At the greenhouse a small rise of steps leads to a wide portico. Two massive pillars of stone support a roof overhead and flank a pair of ornate, gold-clad doors inscribed with sun motifs.
The doors are open. Inside the cloying humidity and heat of an active greenhouse fill this huge atrium. Exotic flowers, creeper vines, shrubbery, and even trees grow throughout the open space. A vaulted ceiling arches forty feet overhead, supported by four thick columns, while a stone-tiled path winds past each exhibit. All told, over 75 different species of plants and fungi grow in the Glass House, each one carefully labeled.
