Leaning against a wall and sliding into a sitting position, Celia places a hand again her chest, uttering a prayer to Aroden to heal some of the damage done to her vitality.
Frowning, Sādhanā looks at Celia's pale countenance, worried about what lay ahead.
"We better deal with anything that's left," Sienna says, glancing at Celia. "But I don't think we can go after whoever fled."
Magestreia nods, going to the mausoleum Ammon approached. "Let's start here."
"Let me look over that door first," Ylrhea says. "These guys were well-prepared. Even had an escape plan."
;
Ylrhea doesn't find any traps on the door and it is unlocked.
"I guess the peons don't get the extra security," Ylrhea remarks, opening the door.
The air in the mausoleum is stuffy. Two open coffins occupy the room. You can clearly see their owners "resting" inside them.
"Yeah. There's a lot in this cavern that needs to be destroyed. The bastard gets to live another day." Sādhanā says crouching beside Celia. "You did well. Take it easy. We'll get you all healed up when we get back"
"We need some stakes," Ylrhea calls out.
"We'll deal with them later if we have too." Cyna responds to Sienna whlie keeping an eye out for further dangers.
"Yeah, there's always later," Sienna says.
Cyna sees the golem she put down slowly reassembling itself.

"Rocky seems to be finding his second wind." Cyna says pointing out the golem to the others.
"Damn it!" Sādhanā curses. This was turning out to be a disaster with pretty much nothing accomplished except Celia getting hurt and warning their enemies. She takes it all in as quickly as possible trying to figure out a solution to everything they needed to deal with in front of them.
"Cyna you should still have a stake on you. If we drive it into their hearts, sever the heads and anoint them in holy water one at a time we can eliminate the vampires."
Sadhana is sure that if the buildings and golems are made from a shard, Oblivion will destroy them in a single strike, perhaps two for the larger ones. The magus realizes that staking the vampires isn't really necessary if the group beheads them and anoints the heads in holy water.

Sienna takes out the everflowing aspergilium. "Swish and flick?"
"Yep." the magus replies moving though the first of the vampires. Once Sienna is ready, she cleanly severs the vampire's head from it's body.
Sienna and Sadhana quickly put an end to the first two vampires.
Ylrhea goes to the next mausoleum and checks it out.
;
Ylrhea discovers it is the same as the last one, this one also containing two vampires.
"Well, looks like more of the same." Sādhanā says, severing the head of the first of the two vampires.
Sienna douses the heads in holy water. "More of the same is not necessarily bad."
Ammon looked around for, but not really expecting to find, any sort of wood he could attempt to splinter into make-shift stakes.
Ammon finds that the coffins can be broken down.
Cyna searches ahead for signs of any escape route.
Cyna's pretty sure whoever escaped had to go through the larger mausoleum.
Ylrhea waits for Sienna and Sadhana to finish with the second set of vampires before going to the next mausoleum. The rogue sees one of the vampire spawn and the vampire who had wielded the axe. "Looks like he wasn't the big cheese here either."
"Hmm.....that's troubling considering what we've seen so far....even more so that we didn't know this was here all this time." Sādhanā says walking over to Ylrhea and idly kneeling for a moment to rest a hand on her fiancee's back.
"Do you feel like you can go on Celia, or should we head back?"
"I can continue." Celia replies, sounding exhausted. "As long as I leave the fighting to the rest of you...I'l be alright."
"I'm sure that there's a lot about Zahvroma that we don't know about," Ylrhea says. She heads to the last of the smaller mausoleums and checks it.
;
The last mausoleum only has one coffin. It looks like there may have been another but it was recently removed.
"One of the escapees must've stayed in here," Sienna says, readying the aspergilium.
"Were any of them marked? It might be nice to know what we're dealing with." Cyna says.
Ylrhea shakes her head. "I didn't see anything."
Sword in hand, Sādhanā moves to open the coffin.
The last of the vampire spawn lays in the coffin.
