Ashes at Dawn with Paladin and Cleric / Ranger of Pharasma (Spoiler)

[Wulfgarin]

Hey,

I am preparing "Ashes at Dawn" right now, and I need a little help. My gaming group consists out of a Paladin of Iomedae, two Clerics (Pharasma and Desna), a Ranger (Pharasma), a Wizard and a Rogue. They are all very eager to kick asses, but they have to work together with the vampires if they don't want to die. I now need a way to convince them to work together with the vampires, does anybody have any idea how to do that?

I have a very similar group situation Unofi. Our group is an Iomedaen paladin, a rogue, a witch, a magus, a Pharasmin ranger and a priestess of Pharasma. I am considering having a well loved npc kidnapped by the vampires and held over their heads so that they have to work with the vampires if they want this npc back, alive and not turned into a vampire. This may not work but it's what I have planned. My group sometimes tends to go to violence before the npc baddies get a chance to say anything. So I often have to resort to dirty tricks, throwing obstacles in the way and other delaying tactics to get the point across.

A small re-write can turn it into a cross vampire faction war that ALLOWS the characters to go nuts... with the 'good' vamps working thru one focal to keep the story on track

Hmm, nice ideas :-)
