"Muhahahaha" Radovir laughs at Stam's attempted murder and moves further.
Spugnoir BLAMS the nasty man
"Arrgh! You're on my list!" Radovir threatens.
Grergof drinks the haste extract then charges after Radovir.
And you are now on top of my list! For your crimes you die!
Grergof charges after Radavar then slams him with his flail.
Charge 80’
"You got another of those spells to stop vampires from moving?" Darius asks Stam.
"I do but he seems to not be affected by my spells?" Stam seems confused.
The 'Divine Flail to Face' spell seems to work well.
Grergof hits the vampire hard. Then Radovir turns into mist again. Slowly the cloud moves away, into th edark corridor to the right.
Grergof runs to the cloud and cintinyes to use the divine flail to the face.
He’ll repeat this a couple times to be sure it is stuck gaseous then says:
Watch where it goes.
Then he returns to the stone coffin and uses his flail to make it so it can not be used to rest.
Don't get too far ahead, there could be more
To Grergof's surprise, inside the stome coffin lies the female vampire from earlier - sleeping.
After going back to the coffin Grergof is suprised to see the woman. But he does not let that stop him. Instead he stakes her and then pulls her out of the coffin.
He then crises the coffin while asking the others.
Anyone want to talk to this thing or should I end her?
"Wait Mist you go no where!" Stam shouts as words of power push onto the mist.
Not interested in talking to her.
I can throw a bomb that makes it shine.
Spugnoir chucks an ectoplasmatic home that will make the most glow.
The mist starts sparkling. It also feels compelled to stay.
Grergof bashes at the mist.
Then Grergof proceeds to move on to the coffin, stakes the woman and pulls her out, laying her on the floor and crushing the stone coffin.
So chop off her head and anoint it?
Anoint away.
While I do this, does someone want to watch the mist? If we keep it from entering a coffin fit the next few hours, we can comfortably retreat and rest.
With that he uses his scimitar to behead the woman and then uses his last holy water to put her to rest forever.
"My spell won't hold it that long, about just over a minute . Spugs or Darius is there any way we could put the mist in a bottle?" Stam says
Nope. Not unless we build the bottle around it.
"We wanted to rest anyway after finishing the vampire witch. Can't you teleport the mist out?" Darius inquires. "If not, we have onther mist we need to follow around like forever."
Watch it, to see where it goes. I will get rid of the other coffins.
Grergof goes into the other room and bashes the wood coffins to pieces.
Spugnoir watches the mist real close.
The mist slowly moves towards the stairs and then up. The faint cloud moves to the bell tower and then rises in a shadowy corner through the cracks in the wooden floor/ceiling boards to the upper levels.
The tower has four stories. The mist rises up to the third. The fourth has no windows, but is open to the outside. There hangs the bell.
THE BELLS! THE BELLS! ESMERADLA!
Spugnoir is having flashbacks.
There may be more here. Mister Stam, Can you take us back to the rest and we can return in the morning?
I think I have the hang of beating down these Vampires now and I worry for the rest of you after all these fights.
Burn down the bell tower so he loses his resting place?
"I'm fine. I mean, the beds are not that good. I'll have a stiff back again in the morning. And I'd rather take my breakfast knowing that this cursed tailor won't wait for me again."
Darius gives Spugnoir a glare. "I'm still opposed to burning down a chapel of one of our most holy saints."
Stam? I can continue the chase if you all are good for it. I just heard you ask about resting before.
"I am good yes, continue away I will save specific spells for our escape. We could just smash out the windows or the boards covering them. Glass is easeir to replace than a whole chapel." Stam says
Well in that case.
Grergof leads the group up the bell tower stairs.
Four windows allow a modest amount of natural light into the second floor of the abbey’s bell tower. Stone stairs along the walls lead both up and down, while two doors open to the west and north. But the mist already moved on.
Nine windows allow a tremendous amount of natural light inside the third floor of the abbey’s bell tower, while two ropes continue up through a small hole in the ceiling.
Stam follows in the middle and looks around as they come up. "Lots of light here, we could stay here and try to bring them to us?" Stam says
Floor is in bad shape and will probably collapse if we step on it. No doubt a great defense for a vampire lair.
Excellent Eyes sir!
Grergof says stopping on the stairs.
He then reaches into his backpack and pulls out the rope of climbing they got so long ago. With a command he sends it snaking up to tie to something on the ceiling (Perhaps the railing of the stairs up). Then he makes it knot (So it is easy to climb) and tugs on it to test its strength.
Assuming all that works.
Should I try to go first?
Gregof finds no place for his magical rope at the stairs. For one, it's a solid wall which doesn't offer itself for tying at. And second, if it were it would be a mostly horizontal climb. So it would be, falling through the decrepit floor and then climbing up again.
It might be an option to find something to tie to on the upper floor the way the bell's rope runs. But squeezing through the small hole might be a challenge.
I can climb fairly well, but can't get through the hole.
After some back and forth Grergof manages to get to the next level of the bell tower, which has large windows, and no sign of the mist is seen there. It is gone. Also the ones who stayed behind didn't notice the mist coming back.
Stam produces the wand of Spider Climb, tapping himself then Darius then Spugnoir. Turning to Grergof Stam sees that he is already across. "You could have waited a second." Stam says
Hmmm. A wild goose chase. Spugnoir muses after he crawls up.
Grergof looks around the fourth level.
As the others come up Grergof looks puzzled.
He has to be here someplace.
Then he starts searching around for where it could have gone.
A single flight of stairs reaches the highest floor of the abbey’s bell tower. A massive iron bell hangs from wooden pivot posts in the center of the tower floor. But no trace of Radovir. Through the open arches one can see as far as Caliphas and over the bay.
Maybe he has his coffin in the rafters?
Darius casts detect undead, to end this game of hide and seek.
"Well... there is no undead at all. Not even a faint aura. From magics point of view they ran out of undeads. At least within 60 feet." Darius slowly takes another turn to check in direction of the rest of the building, but nothing.
