Stam Gathers close to everyone and Dim doors everyone to door where the mist went it.
As the group appears in front og the dressing rooms, the mist disappears around the corner, going downstairs. The mist isn't really fast, but a bit hard to see.
"There is it." Stam points casting Glitter Dust on the spot the mist is.
Spugnoir throws an Ectoplasmic bomb at the mist
Ectoplasmic BombsBenefit(s) The alchemist can infuse her bombs with a special unction that damages incorporeal creatures and reveals the presence of undead creatures hiding in the area. Incorporeal creatures struck by an ectoplasmic bomb take full damage from the bomb. In addition, squares in the affected area of the bomb begin to faintly glow in the spaces where undead creatures have traveled in the last minute, including undead benefiting from invisibility or other forms of obscurity (such as ethereal jaunt), effectively creating a glowing trail. Any undead creatures in the affected area at the time of the explosion likewise glow faintly. This glowing effect lasts for 1 minute, and is otherwise identical to faerie fire.
Spugnoir hurries to the corner and bombs the mist, making it glow-in-the-dark(TM). Stam wants to throw his magic at it too, but he has to recover from the magic travel first.
"We need to find and destroy his coffin!" Darius tells, once he has oriented himself. "Or simply destroy every coffing in his house."
"Do we think, that is the bad guy, or do we believe, there is someone else hiding in here?"
There will no doubt be a hidden diary and letters telling us where we need to go next
"I thought that important vampire dude, whose name I forgot again will tell us? If we can convince him, we got the murder, right?"
Maybe Find him and stake him! then we can bring him back for Vampire Justice and interrogation!
Justiccceeee!
"The Lord of the Vampires?" Stam looks to Darius. "We have little to no proof right now."
"Staked vampires in the basement are little to no proof?" Darius objects.
"Well if we take the steaks out and they say opposite where do we stand?" Stam asks
"Try it out?" Darius suggests. "If they don't further our case, we can put the stake back."
[b]Lets follow this thing and stake it before we get ahead of ourselves.[/ooc]
Grergof follows the mist flail out.
Spugnoir follows
Stam follows
The mist leads the way until there is an opportunity to escape through a crack in the old stone, to somewhere the heroic adventurers can't follow.
Shall we search the rest of the house?
Yes. We know where the coffins are downstairs, we can go open them in a few minutes to see if the vampires have gone there.
"We need to search them yes lets give him a few minutes head start then? I mean we could just remove the lids and hide them could we not?" Stam says staying more in the middle.
Dump out the dirt
Spugnoir does dirt tests to examine for ectoplasmatic residue to triangulate possible locations for a hidden room or good coffin locations.
Besides the obvious rooms in the basement with coffins, one of which was originally secret, there are no other rooms to be found with this alchemical method.
A lot of ectoplasmic residue points to the room with the staked vampires in it . There is also a door inthat room, that you haven't investigated yet.
Spugnoir checks out the door
The door shows no sign of traps or such. Behind the door, four stone coffins lie on the floor of this dark chamber. The room is devoid of further decoration.
In the large room before the door besides the staked Vampires at the rack stands a table with a drawer underneath. In the drawer there is a book, which looks like a journal.
Incredibly meticulous, Radvir keept a journal. The journal contains a
list of not only the vampire elders he’s targeted, but also the nobles of Ustalav he framed by falsifying evidence against them. The journal
makes it clear that Radvir was acting on behalf of Adivion Adrissant and
the Whispering Way to help pave the way for the return of Tar-Baphon. The book also includes several notes in individual envelopes from Aisa and Hetna Dublesse. These missives detail ongoing requests for more vampire bodies to be delivered to the Abbey of Sante-Lymirin in exchange for additional bloodbrew elixir. The journal includes the abbey’s location and Radvir’s own musings on the witches’ intentions for the bodies. He believes the sisters are trying to create a potion for undead transformation, and associates it with the Whispering Way,
The big red bow on this kinda confirms things. Shall we try hunting that guy down or we done here?
Spugnoir takes a quick glance inside the next room and then turns on the table, rummages through the drawer and reads through pages and pages of proof about the case the group tries to resolve.
Meanwhile three of the stone coffins sneak out of the room, open their large - and surprisingly toothy - lids and attack.
The first coffin attacks Stam. After that, Stam finds himself glued to the coffin.
We still need to finish off the vampire... What he did to Father Redgrave can not be allowed to be repeat.... What the!?!?!
Grergof looks shocked as the coffins seem to sneak in and attack.
"It does tie things up nicely, I wonder what this Bloodbrew elixir is, do you have any thoughts Spugnoir?" Stam asks.
This makes no sense! How do coffins sneak?! Do they get on little coffin tiptoes?

Spugnoir chucks two fire bombs at the one biting Stam, making to adjust them so they don't hurt anything but the mimics
"What the heck is going on in this cursed house!" Darius shouts. Then he calls upon the power of Iomedae to end one of those evil creatures, confronting it with his holy symbol - and a casting of slay living.
But he fails miserably to deliver the eerie dark glow.
Stam wiggles his fingers just so, as he does a black magical space appears behind him, pulling him away from the Mimic and behind Grergof. "Mimics, they will try to eat you."
With Stam gone, the coffin tands there alone and burned. The bombs did a good deal of burning, but the coffin is still pretty alive.
The other coffins move in on Darius, who is now in the front row. They move into position to flank him. Luckily for him anly one of them hits. The bad thing is, that Darius is now glued to that one.
Darius tries again to deliver Iomedae's answer to his prayer to the creature.
The coffin cringes in pain, but doesn't die.
Grergof steps up and bashes the mimic that just snagged Darius with his flail.
Now even the coffins are alive!?! This city has serious problems!
The situation looks all wrong. Coffin's attacking people, and hitting them hard, doesn't break them, but makes them bleed. Grergof has to face that even his blow with the flail wasn't enough to bring the thing down.
Darius has to stand the next attack from the furniture for the dead that keeps harassing the living. He finds himself glued from two sides now.
"These things are rather hardy indeed." Stam says making a mental catalogued of his remaining spell list. Stam pulls out his wand of grease and coats Darius in grease hoping that will help him get out.
What the!!! Grergof pulls at the flail.

Spugnoir shoves a Haste extract down Vark's mouth since he figures they are going to need to boost.
Darius draws his sword and swings it at the coffin.
"Give my sword back you stupid box!" he curses, as he finds his weapon stuck on the creature.
They look like mimics with all the glue and act like rogues.
Darius doesn't manage much, but get his sword stuck. Grergof got the same issue with his flail.
"If we just give them some ground we could bottle neck them and hit them from Ranged. Darius excluded." Stam says
The coffins keep pummeling Darius. And due to their mean tactics, it's really painfull for Darius.
And once again, the cleric finds himself unconscious on the ground.
His Flail stuck to the creature, Grergof releases his weapon and grabs his silver flail.
We are not leaving Father Redgrave behind!
He bashes with his silver flail
Pulling the Flail back from the sticky creature he uses his enhanced speed to swing again.
You may not have him!
