There within the coffin lies the pale form of Von Ulrik, eyes closed in torpor.... Derrik plunges the sharp steak into the vampire's black heart, and Kepler drives it home with the mallet and a cawroar of glee.... The vampire's eyes fly open and it shrieks, a high, keening wail! Blood sprays from its fanged mouth, and it crumbles into chunks of black ash....

Von Ulrik sees his doom closing in on him on all sides as Yingzen, Derrik, Koran, and Kepler surround him, cutting off all routes of escape.... Enraged, he hefts the massive Mjolnir in both hands and swings it with an inhuman roar and superhuman strength at Koran.... Mjolnir plus electricity.... Miss chance (01-20 misses) .... A miss! Kailin's spell protects the big tiefling--Mjolnir passes inches from his head!
Yingzen sinks his enchanted Elven blade into Von Ulrik's side, and stepping in place to provide Vash or another companion with an easy flank.... Koran charges into a flanking position opposite Yingzen a second later, smashing his earth breaker down on the vampire's upraised arm to the sound of crunching bone.... GAAAARRRK!!! You cannot defeat me! I wield Mjolnir, the Hammer of Thor! No sooner do the words leave his snarling, fanged mouth, when Levinson casts grease on the legendary hammer.... Reflex save to keep a grip on Mjolnir.... succeeds! But a look of uncertainty briefly passes over the vampire's pale face as he suddenly finds the haft of Mjolnir very slippery....
Von Ulrik turns to face Vash and Glaza, stepping back 5 ft to avoid an AoO from the Russian bounty hunter, and hurls a bolt of lightning at him and his pet roc!

Von Ulrik is too thirsty for the blood of enemies he knows are before him to notice the stealthy enemy creeping up behind him....Vash lashes out with his spiked chain at Von Ulrik's back (flat-footed AC 22), but the vampire's magical wards protect him like an invisible suit of armor....
Vash and Glaza hear undead Nazi submariners running up the covered gangplank, followed at the last by a confident stride that seems to carry with it the singing crackle of lightning and the low rumbling of thunder.... A sepulchral voice intones an incantation.... The vampire is warded by Mage armor.... DC 16 Spellcraft to know this from hearing the incantation....
Thunder rumbles in the sky outside, and dark storm clouds begin to converge on The Tower of London as Mjolnir is brandished by the vampire captain of The Kraken.... Wir mussen die blut von die schweinen trinken! Kommen sie, mein nachtigalls!
So.... These bold mortals dare to attack us again.... This time, they shall know the error of their foolish choice.... The vampire pushed his coffin lid open and rose up out of it in a single motion, stepping out into the cargo hold of The Kraken among a dozen other coffins.... Achtung! The vampire's voice resonated with sepulchral bass, seeming to vibrate the other coffins in the cargo hold.... Awaken, you lazy bastards! They are back! Kommen sie hier! Schnell! Schnell!! The other coffins fly open, and the vampire spawn crewmates spring out, hissing and slavering for blood!
Perception vs DC -10 to hear the propane tank explode from some 120 ft away, through several stone walls, the hull of The Kraken, and a wooden coffin, while in a torpor (total penalty -27) The glorious dream of conquest, of supping on giants' blood, comes to an abrupt end, dashed away by a sound of doom.... The deep, resonant report of an explosion somewhere above.... Von Ulrik opens his crimson eyes and bares his dagger-like fangs with a hiss of alarm.... Wie gehts!? Was machen sie grosse kaboomen!?
Lying in a torpor within his coffin, the Vampire Von Ulrik is oblivious to the screams of his dying crew up in the White Tower.... He dreams of conquest.... He is riding in a chariot drawn by a pair of giant, bloodthirsty goats.... On his right hand is Jarngrepnir ("Irongripper"), the Gauntlet of Thor.... Around his waist is Thor's Belt of Strength.... And in that mighty, gauntleted hand is Mjolnir, crackling with lightning! It is glorious! He rides over all the lands of Midgard, smiting giants, trolls, and demons.... And then he drinks their blood! |
