Both of the now visible vamps are gunned down and rendered into gas which slinks away.
You don't see any threats, so I would imagine so.
"So I guess we need to figure out where all that gas went and finish off them vamps.."
Bo taps himself with a cure wand..
2 charges..
Energy drain only occurs on a slam attack, and they used weapons.
"Are you sure there was something else?"
He stops and heals himself.
Changes wands...
Dynamite. That's what we need, dynamite.
"Well we do have a pile of grenades.. Not sure if thats a good thing underground.."
Yap heals Jan..
Jan thanks the ever-helpful YaaP.
Nonsense, how else do you mine for coal, with a pickaxe? This isn't the dark ages.
Any plans?
Search for obvious way to where the mists floated off too..
There's a crack which heads into the pedestal, but you certainly can't fit through it.
See if the two tunnel's in the room go anywhere.
They lead back into the labyrinth of buried buildings which brought you here (which means no).
You know that if you don't find your way to the vamp's body it will be back.
"Well Jan it looks like you get your wish.. Let's blow the pedestal off.. Boom, you think you can handle that?"
shouldn't be a problem.
perception to see if there is a way to move the pedestal. Perhaps something we can name a pet bar into to lift it?
It's a large chunk of carved stone. Brute force appears to be the only option on the table.
Bo pulls out a bandolier with 5 hand greandes attached to it.. "Wedge one in the crack, tie a string to the pin, and see if it takes it off.. Maybe we should use 2 just in case?"
"This might work!" Obidiah says.
He pulls a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun loaded with a dragon's breath shotgun shell from a holster.
"Stick it in the crack and light them up?"
"Yea put those in the with grenades.. Let's pop the top!"
Jan produces a pair of safety goggles and dons them.
You don't even have beers, so no wisdom check needed.
You set your explosives and blow the pedestal. A hunt rent is made in the stone which leads down into the darkness. You spells illuminates the way. There's a crypt of sorts down here in a chamber with a number of coffins.
"Pretty sure you have to stake em to kill em for sure.."
Bo looks for some wood that can be fashioned..
No wood down here unless you brought it.
A minute or so to deliberate and set explosives.
Obi loads a revolver with 6 undead bane cartridges.
it was hours to get all the way down here. It's a rather tortuous path.
"Well then.. We should got more info on this thing as I'm not sure we have a way to kill it.. I guess if we can figure out which one is the leader's coffin we can toat it back to the surface and let him cook in the sun.. Let's get down there and see.."
"That or we could send Yap back for a stake and just wait.. As long as we hang out with there coffins they can't get away right? That little fart should told us they were vampires dangit.."
How much powder do we have? There's no problem so great it can't be solved with the appropriate application of high explosives.
"Thats actually a good diea Jan.. If we blow up their caskets they have no place to rest and will die.. Well in theory that is.."
Maybe we outta put them out in the sun, and then blow them up...best of both worlds.
"That involves getting them all upstairs.. Will they fit in our bag of holding I wonder.."
Each casket is 28 cubic feet in volume. They are stone coffins. They weigh 750 lbs each.
The skulk brought you down here to kill the leader.
"Ok so let's just figure out which coffin is the leaders and carrying up for a sun bathing.."
Bo moves down among the coffins to see if one is obvious different/more shiny..
Just seven identical stone coffins.
Six lackeys.
"I guess we gotta open em up and see if we can figure out which is which.."
Jan adds a protective apron to his goggles.
7 coffins, pick a number and open one.
Start with 1..
