Roshan
Roshan stays in combat to present an extra target. One hand touches his silver scale, the other finds Miril. It's energy flows through him and into her, healing some of her wounds.
With support from her friends and allies, Míril continues to savage the remaining demon.
Then she quickly touches her Scale to heal herself a little more.
Chancre activates Steve again, targeting the green thing.
Second Hit
Samirah flashes her own pearly whites at the vampire, striking out with her heated scimitar as she dodges its attack.
With support from her friends and allies, Míril continues to savage the remaining demon. The demon is gravely wounded, but still fighting on. Then she quickly touches her Scale to heal herself a little more.
Samirah flashes her own pearly whites at the vampire, striking out with her heated scimitar as she dodges its attack. And she does just that, but she misses the incredibly quick monster as he dodges her word while barely moving. The necrotic green lips part in a pleased smile.
The force weapon re-targets again, this time the Vampire Spawn attacking Konstantin. This time the little force weapon not only strikes a spawn, but drops it to the ground to rot.
Then, Chancre activates Steve again, targeting the green thing. The little force rapier tries valiently, but fails to get near the green flesh. Even when it reforms to look like a wooden stake.
Knowing he only has seconds to live, the demon renews a savage attack, cutting into Miril and making her bleed. ()

Alone at the top of the stairs (well, Aron is there, but the rogue seems distracted), Konstantin continues his grim, if disgusting work, with the vampire spawn. He'll show them what claws and teeth really are. The undead must really taste vile, because only Konstantin's claws slice through the dead flesh. But it is enough, living unmoving dead flesh on the floor to rot.
Konstantin continues to tear into the undead. His strong bite drops the first the of undead, then a quick step lets him take out another with his claw. Leaving just a single spawn still moving at the top of the prison.
Irabeth continues to wear away at the final demon () And like a proper paladin, the heavy blow finishes off the demon.
The vampire moves back a step.
() Aron's cut is off and he winces as if someone shouted in his ear.

Samirah hesitates before attacking. "I am already doing the right thing." She says confidently, circling around her foe.
"Do ... you ... speak ... talk ... language?" Chancre asks the vampire -- slowly and loudly.

Samirah hesitates before attacking. "I am already doing the right thing." She says confidently, circling around her foe. Except that the foe she targets turns out to be Miril, not the green-skinned man. The blade flashes out twice, the second attack just barely skittered over the metal of Miril's new armor.
The force corkscrapierstake attacks the vampire again ... twice. But sadly Steve misses twice.
"Do ... you ... speak ... talk ... language?" Chancre asks the vampire -- slowly and loudly.
The green-skinned man barely spares Chancre a glance, keeping his attention focused on Samirah. "Better than you do apparently."
Roshan continues to dance around the unliving yet exceedingly mobile and dangerous once-human. As he does, his aura begins to grow stronger.
Konstantin steps back, his talons and teeth sliding away as his more human features reassert themselves. He pulls his wand and blasts the remaining spawn with magic missiles. Which destroys the final vampire spawn.
() Irabeth moves over to attack the green toothy man, but he does his flicker dodge thing and she misses.
The green-skinned villian steps back from Irabeth, putting his hand on a demonic rune that hangs from a chain. A quick casting and a painful blast of noise fills the room, centered on Irabeth. () The symbol of Iomeadae shatters, metal tinkling down to the ground.
With no active enemy at the top of the stairs, Arons starts to move back towards the prison entrance.

"What is this thing?" Konstantin wonders aloud as he catches his first sight of the green man.
Venobya caws.
"Indeed," Konstantin says, nodding as though this explains everything.

Second Attack
When she realizes it's Miril she's attacked, there is no apology on her face as she swings back toward the vampire. Only a burning, and possibly blinding, rage.
"Ah," Chancre says. "I saw that you were green and thought you might be underripe. What is your name and who is your God?"
Chancre changes his floating teamwork feat to Escape Route, and navigates his way to the vampire as best he can.
When she realizes it's Miril she's attacked, there is no apology on her face as she swings back toward the vampire. Only a burning, and possibly blinding, rage. "არავინ აკონტროლებს ჩემთვის, მხეცი." Her first attack is the first wound to hit the quick green man, but even when her sword shifts with a flash of blinding light, he manages to dodge the second strike. Her cold iron weapon doesn't prove as efficient on the bloodsucker as it has always proved on demons. He does burn well though.
The force corkstakerapier presses its final attack. But sadly, the bloodsucker has gotten used to the force weapon and dodges it twice. ( )
With far more grace and dexterity than Chancre normally shows, he navigates his away to the vampire.
Roshan steps back just long enough to unleash a flurry of angry metal. Most of which fly past his elusive green skinned opponent. His first chakram, almost glowing with the built of energy he imparted to it manages to strike deep. And following in its path Radiance cuts as well. ( )
Konstantin advances, his arm frosting over. He quickly flings one of his hard-packed snowballs at the monster. ( ) Although the ice looks like it will miss the quick undead, a flash of heat from Samirah in melee with the monster melts the ice, changes its trajectory and it slams painfully into the middle of the vampire's chest. Even resistance to cold, the ball of ice hurts.
() Even with the physical representation of her god destroyed, Irabeth gets a solid blow in against the vampire.
In response to the group surrounding him, the vampire mists. The form sliding under the door to the east.

Venobya croaks, ruffling her feathers. It's almost as if she looks offended.
Konstantin, looking rather more pale than normal, advances into the room, ready for Miril's magic lockpicking skills to clear the way.
"I notice that he didn't answer either of my questions."
Chancre waits for the lockpicking, but keeps half an eye on Aron.
"I notice that he didn't answer either of my questions."
"The conversation is not yet over."
After the vampire flees, Samirah puts a hand on Miril's shoulder. "I know of vampires, but was not prepared to have my mind..." there's a slight tremor in her voice as she shakes her head. "I apologize for the hit." She uses her scale to help undo some of the damage she's done to her friend.
Seeing Miril is getting first aid for the vicious sword wound inflicted by Samirah and the claws of the babau, Anevia starts to work on the locks of the door through which the mist fled. Fortunately the locks in the demon-crafted prison are not quite as sturdy as the dwarven-craft ones above else Anevia would have been thwarted. Instead two-minutes later she has managed to finesse open the lock to reveal...
Well-stocked bookshelves line the walls of this room, while a plush carpet covers the floor. Just off the carpet, crumbled in a pale heap on the stone floor next to the exterior wall is a clean but pale and unconscious man dressed in rags.
Although you do find a few very small holes at various points of the secret door.
Perception
Samirah returns to the cage with the man she spoke to during the battle.
"What is your name? How long have you been here?"
Samirah knows enough about healing to tell the difference between alive and dead. She leaves the more careful check to more knowledgeable companions and begins poking around the bookshelves once she confirms the man is not dead.
Chancre looks at the bookshelves, then the man.
Chancre bends down to the man. "He's on the verge," he says, then activates the scale.
Chancre looks back up at the bookcase, and grunts
"Thought so!"
He points out the secret door and other information under the Perception spoiler.
"I do not believe there are enough secret doors in this building."
"I do not believe there are enough secret doors in this building."
"It does speak to an odd architect." Konstantin considers. "Although I suppose my castle will have to have its share of secret passages as well."
"It does speak to an odd architect." Konstantin considers. "Although I suppose my castle will have to have its share of secret passages as well."
"As long as at least one of them leads to hot springs." Although she looks weary, there's a genuine smile on her face. "And none of them to demons or vampires."
"As long as at least one of them leads to hot springs." Although she looks weary, there's a genuine smile on her face. "And none of them to demons or vampires."
"I pledge that my castle shall remain demon or vampire free." He considers. "Unless they are of the reformed variety, assuming there are such creatures."
As the former prisoner and nearly dead man are attended too, Roshan taps his two fists together with index and pointer finger of each hand splayed apart.
Then turns his attention to the door.
Built into the bookshelf on the back wall is a secret door. Looking close, it appears what was once the locking device has been intentionally jammed.
Although you do find a few very small holes at various points of the secret door.
Glancing first to Miril, unless she thinks this is not more of a strength thing then a disable device thing he will try his hand and hope his natural abilities let him avoid any traps he sets off.
Chancre bends down to the man. "He's on the verge," he says, then activates the scale.
Chancre's healing touch brings the man around to consciousness, although he still is pale and weak. He seems alright for the first moment, half-smiling at Chancre. "I'd given up hope..." The voice ragged with misuse, the same as the one whose scream drew you towards the dungeon.
Then his eyes get large and he tries to start to crab towards the exit, "It... He's not gone." The man starts to panic, "He's so hungry and angry."
You see the tendrils of the mist form of the vampire forming in the corner of the room - not the back where the secret door is but just to one side of the exit.
A low chuckle echoes through your mind, "So once the two of us eliminate these intruders..."
As the former prisoner and nearly dead man are attended too, Roshan taps his two fists together with index and pointer finger of each hand splayed apart.
Samirah nods in response, signing along with a spoken "I will be, thank you."
Samirah looks around the room for the danger, sees nothing, and assumes the man is panicking after almost meeting death.
She looks as though she's about to ask a question, when her upper lip curls into a snarl of disgust and there's very clearly fear in her eyes.
As Samirah turns, everyone's attention is drawn to the vampire in the corner - uninjured if a bit more wiry - smirking.
Konstantin hurls a chunk of ice at the newly revealed vampire.

"I think I don't like you," Chancre says. "You never did tell me your name."
"I think I don't like you," Chancre says. "You never did tell me your name."
The vampire sighs, "You never gave me yours." A quick glance and just the hint of a put-upon shudder, "Of course looking the way you do..."
From her position in the room, Míril suddenly lunges at the vampire with her adamantium short sword...
..and twice more.
"Chancre Cailean," Chancre says. "Name and God."
Samirah rushes towards the vampire and lashes out, eyes wild and teeth bared in rage. But in the violence and heat of her anger, only a single sword strike gets through. Although a protective force that let the vampire's quick movements keep him from harm seems to be gone.

Konstantin hurls a chunk of ice at the newly revealed vampire. The vampire still proves quick enough to dodge the solid block of ice - having learned just how dangerous that was in the other room.
"I love the fact that you are so strong-willed," the vampire says to Samirah. "And I do adore red-heads."
Anevia continues to work at the jammed door and non-functional lock, knowing that if the vampire flees it will most likely be to the secured room.
Proving that she really does not care for this vile undead, Irabeth lands a heavy blow on the monster.
