The water is slightly murky. There is almost no current in the wide pool, but faster along the s wall. Suddenly pale human figures begin to rise out of the pool, raising white arms towards you!
Men and women, pale as death, with an odd eldritch beauty to them despite their feral features.Then they open their mouths, revealing sharp fangs...
The leading vampire stares hungrily at Gracyone, licks ruby-red lips, speaks:
"Delicious..."

genghisdon: try Keoghtum's ointment on Drakonak's bitten neck & claw gouges
Smon: Drakonok max hp are down 12 to 40 and he took 33 dmg
Sandor Sunneson: Drag him out of the water and away from danger

genghisdon: better than nothign i guess
chris107: 2 mins guys, brb
Sandor Sunneson: what would he need to get them back 52? wish?
Smon: GM: OK you fall back through the mushroom forest, illuminated by Sandor's shining blade.
genghisdon: "poor Tania!"
Smon: He'll get blood back with a long rest.
genghisdon: Gracyone mourns the brave lass
genghisdon: "let us leave this fell place then"
Sandor Sunneson: At least the PCs are all alive!
genghisdon: before I'd have left though, backpack dude was the one on Drak, right? if so, I'd have grabed his loot
Smon: Yup.
chris107: back
genghisdon: anything besides backpack?
Smon: Most of the pack deliquesced with the body, but there is an ivory scroll case intact with a silver & enamel stopper.
genghisdon: ok, ;leave it for once we gget home
chris107: Ursa shivers at the memory of poor Tania been dragged beneath the water.
Smon: Also the remains of a pouch holding 8 small rubies v 100gp each.
genghisdon: "it will be all the worse when we have to put her to rest"
genghisdon: thnx
chris107: "Aye, an unpleasent task ahead of us Gracyone."
Sandor Sunneson: Another martyr in the battle against evil
genghisdon: and we must find the master, this ogre or giant vampire, to truly end the threat
chris107: "And you think that they were mere servants?"
genghisdon: "slaves, yes"
chris107: Do we know anything about combating vampire?
genghisdon: "they might have been good people once, even"
Sandor Sunneson: Another task to complete Gracyone, this and also Selatine to liberate from the Thanatae
chris107: "They seemed to heal when they returned to the water?"
genghisdon: (roll simon, or just list the basics?)
Smon: Normal vampires can't enter running water.
genghisdon: "they were healing by feasting on blood"
Smon: They seemed to be some kind of vampire spawn. Very fast & strong but lacking the mind control of a master vampire.
genghisdon: "yes, these watery vampires are different sorts, although perhaps it was merely the pool?"
Smon: You can all make raw INT checks DC 15 as none of you are priest types
genghisdon: "let us rest this night & mourn fair Tania"
chris107: "With Drakonoc and me on either side of Sandor and you hasting us. We could carve our way through them."
genghisdon: i have religion skill though
Smon: ok
Smon: You can add Prof
genghisdon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 16, (+3) = 19
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
genghisdon: i am on fire; feeble dumb brain always come through!
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 12,
Smon: Gracyone knows that vampires normally regenerate damage, unless it is radiant/holy dmg or they are in running water.
Sandor Sunneson: +1=13
genghisdon: she tells the group
Smon: These seem the reverse, they could heal from blood drinking & seemed to be healing when in the water.
genghisdon: we exploded some though, right?
genghisdon: aha
Smon: Could indicate their Sire has a water affinity.
chris107: "So these regenerate in water and by drinking blood?"
Smon: Yup, 2 of them were destroyed.
genghisdon: perhaps strogn types might grapple THEM to keep them escaping?
genghisdon: perhaps the master is a merrow or scrag vampire?
chris107: "I have the strength of the bear. I could do that. But fear they would just nibble upon me."
genghisdon: probably yeah
genghisdon: well, magic weapons seem to work too
genghisdon: we can approach prepared better next time
genghisdon: how does a long rest do for us?
chris107: "Aye, Grond would have hammered the s**t out of that smart mouthed b***h if she hadn't fled."
Smon: OOC You got 2250 XP for surviving that!
chris107: Nice!
genghisdon: cool
Sandor Sunneson: cool
Smon: Long rest you get back your hp & half your hd.
chris107: Steaming towards 7th level
Sandor Sunneson: can smell L7
Dragonbill: Cool
genghisdon: in the morning, Gracy tries the tube
Smon: What are you doing now?
chris107: I think it's best we go back above ground to rest?
genghisdon: going back, after food & checking the tube
genghisdon: I thought we went home even?
chris107: We could do Don.
Smon: You are in the mushroom forest on the far side of the central pillar from the sinkhole & rope.
genghisdon: sorry, I'm jumping 4ward in time it seems
chris107: Safer than risking wandering night time Vampires.
Smon: A minute or so since the battle.
genghisdon: and how long since the fight?
genghisdon: ok
Smon: Wandering monster check...
genghisdon: I vote we go home
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
Smon: Seems quiet.
chris107: I agree with Gracyone.
Sandor Sunneson: A beetle passes, nobody notices it
Sandor Sunneson: yeah, lets gather thoughts
chris107: Can we make our way back towards Thusia?
genghisdon: it was a shot ways off, right Simon?
Smon: GM: The four survivors circle N & W round the great central pillar of the grotto, back to the old rope hanging down, slick with moisture from the rain.
genghisdon: short
Smon: You reach the rope.
genghisdon: levitate up to make sure no ambush lurks
Smon: 50' up will need a bunch of DC 12 Athletics checks but if you have at least +7 on roll you'll get up eventually.
Smon: Gracyone casts levitate again and rises up through the cavern.
chris107: Strength of the bear gives advantage on str checks?
chris107 Rolls 1d20+6x2 and gets:
10 (+6) = 16
3 (+6) = 9
Smon: As she rises up above the ledges to her southwest she notices an alcove 12' above the ledge level in the SW cavern wall.
chris107: makes it anyway
Smon: Bear doesn't give advtg on climbing AFAIK
genghisdon: she tells the others
Smon: 2 checks gets you 25' up.
Smon: Does Gracyone have low light or dark vision?
chris107: (Good job he made it on the first roll then )
genghisdon: mighty as well take a look as they climb
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
genghisdon: nope, but she makes lights with spells, fire, etc
Sandor Sunneson: +3=11
genghisdon: She casts a mirror image then goes up
Smon: She has the feeling she's being watched from the alcove but it's a good way off across the cavern.
Smon: You add Prof Sandor so +6, pass.
Smon: Anyway Ursa is going up first.
genghisdon: oh, sorry, though it was right above us
genghisdon: she just notes it, tells the others, and waits then
Smon: 2 successes so 25' up Ursa. Gracyone completes her levitation and pops up to the surface 50' above cave floor?
Smon: Sorry 1 success Ursa.
genghisdon: i guess so
chris107: Ursa hauls himself up again.
Smon: If you get 7 or less you fall, 12 you go up half your move speed.
chris107 rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 5, (+6) = 11
Smon: Sorry Ursa speed is 35 so 17.5' per success.
chris107: He has to halt to catch his breath?
Smon: Ursa slowly, painfully hauls himself up.
Smon: With +6 on check you will eventually make it.
Smon: Gimme a DC 12 CON save Ursa to avoid an Exhaustion level.
chris107 rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 1, (+7) = 8
chris107: Not our nice for the dice.
Smon: OK Ursa is Exhausted as he crawls out into the dell in the pouring rain.
genghisdon: dice not nice no
genghisdon: master vampire pounces!
chris107: He lays panting on his back.
Smon: 2nd up Sandor, 1 success so far - 20' up.
Smon: Roll again Sandor if still climbing.
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 11,
Smon: Drakonok is humming idly on the cave floor, hoping no vamps come by.
genghisdon: "Send up Drakonak next, he is sorely hurt!"
Smon: Sandor climbs, now 40' up.
genghisdon: bah
genghisdon: i float back down to him
Smon: OK Gracyone rejoins Drakonok.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: The local monsters appear to be asleep.
genghisdon: will his feet fit these slippers i have?
Smon: Yes but do they need to attune?
Smon: Sandor 1 more roll.
genghisdon: probably
genghisdon: hang onto me Drakonak
Smon: Sandor pulls himself up determinedly.
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 9,
genghisdon: I float him up (up to 500lbs the spell effects)
Smon: 9+6=15, Sandor hauls himself out & onto the grass, feeling fine.
Smon: It's affecting Gracyone not Drakonok.
Smon: Bur yes you can try to lift him.
genghisdon: yes, but he can't hang onto me?
genghisdon: pigback or the like?
Smon: yup
Smon: He is a crushing weight though...
genghisdon: well, i try what i can
genghisdon: what do u weigh bill?
Smon: Gracyone to lift him out you need to make a STR save DC 15 or take damage.
genghisdon rolls 1d20-1 and gets: 18, (-1) = 17
Smon: He's about 300 lb + armour, under the 500 lb lift limit.
genghisdon: ha! invincible today
Smon: (I give Prof all saves to PCs)
genghisdon: ok, 20 then
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Smon: Triumphantly Gracyone levitates out of the hole, Drakonok grabs the rope and hauls himself onto the grass.
Smon: You're out!
chris107: Nice
chris107: Ursa gasps for breath.
Smon: /roll d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 6,
Smon: The rain is easing off a bit.
genghisdon: "I can't beleive you 2 left poor Drak alone in there, wounded as he is!" Gracyone scolds the pair
8:01pm 2017-4-26 Dragonbill Has exited the room
genghisdon: I keep watch whiel they catch enough breath to leave
Smon: GM: Do you want to short rest here?
genghisdon: not me, but they might
Smon: You can huddle under the trees, avoiding the worst of the rain, and catch your breath, spend hd and restore SR powers.
Sandor Sunneson: I'm only 12 HP down, Ursa?
chris107: Will that dispel the exhaustion?
Smon: no
8:03pm 2017-4-26 Dragonbill Has entered the room
chris107: Down 11
genghisdon: rest now Or get to toen bill?
genghisdon: town
genghisdon: safer to get moving, I think
chris107: I'll take one HD then.
Dragonbill rolls 6d10+12 and gets: 9, 2, 6, 2, 10, 6, (+12) = 47
chris107 rolls 1d12+4 and gets: 7, (+4) = 11
chris107: Back to 71/71
genghisdon: might as well do 1 then
Smon: Drakonok puts his feet up and binds his wounds, also catching his second wind.
Sandor Sunneson: I'll take one too
genghisdon rolls 1d6+2 and gets: 1, (+2) = 3
genghisdon: 37/40
Smon: Drakonom
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d12+3 and gets: 12, (+3) = 15
Sandor Sunneson: back to full
Smon: is on 40/40, when he long rests in Thusia can get his blood flowing again.
Smon: OK you take the track back downhill & towards Thusia...
Smon: /roll d6
genghisdon: To Thusia then
chris107: So we begin the exhausted trudge back to Thusia
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
Smon: That evening you 4 arrive safely back in Thusia.
chris107: Phew!
genghisdon: Go tell Tania's friends or kin of her terriblbe fate
Smon: Several assembled dignataries watch you trudge into the village, as do several amazons including a grim-faced Weaponmaster Damne. Lady Meda is summoned. Her face falls at the sight of you.
Smon: Meda: "Tania?"
genghisdon: "caught & drained by aquatic vampires"
Sandor Sunneson: Water vampire types drained her life
Smon: (can do it OOC, or IC for XP)
chris107: Ursa looks at his feet.
chris107: IC please
Smon: Meda: "Vampires... Is that why the Bugbears have become aggressive again, after all these years? I'm sorry... You're lucky to be alive. Poor Tania." Meda looks a bit teary eyed.
chris107: "She fell. We failed her."
genghisdon: "do any of you wise folk know if she might be saved? I hear tell it takes 3 days?"
Smon: Damne: "She was a warrior. She fell in battle, doing what she loved."
Sandor Sunneson: This is going to be a huge battle against evil, full of minibattles and martyrs, she has joined Amir and Kane on the martyrs list
chris107: "She was..was taken beneath the water by those foul creatures."
genghisdon: "I think it is worse than that, or might be if we cannot get to her soon"
Smon: Meda shakes her head. "The vampires will have taken her life energy. I cannot raise those fallen to the Undead."
chris107: "We will avenge her."
genghisdon: "what about just keeping her from becoming one of those monsters?"
Smon: Damne: "I should lead the attack on these Vampires, Lady Meda."
Smon: Meda: "Those slain by vampires rise the following night..."
Sandor Sunneson: The ones we fought were sort of hybrid vampires, they could not control the mind, but regenerated in water
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 9,
genghisdon: "then she is lost, and al lwe can do is give her true death then...so be it"
genghisdon: "there master, I think, is some kind of giant, probably aquatic, such as a Merrow or Scrag"
Smon: Meda: "Some sort of vampire spawn. Most likely their Lord lurks within the Grotto. This is beyond our strength I fear. I advise waiting until Lord Hakeem returns."
genghisdon: (ogre sized I thought before, right Simon?)
Smon: Damne: "Milady! I disagree."
Smon: (yup, at least 8' tall you'd reckon)
chris107: Ursa fiercly argues for vengeance
genghisdon: " I thank you for the advice, but I return there on the morrow, Tania wil lnot be left to wander as undead flith while I live"
genghisdon: "we missed the master today, perhaps we will again"
Smon: Meda sighs sadly. "I understand, Gracyone, but what will it avail if you too become one of Them?"
Smon: Damne: "I agree with Gracyone milady. I will take Tania's place and go with them at dawn tomorrow - unless you order me not to."
genghisdon: "come what may"
Smon: The Weaponmaster sets her jaw determinedly. "I have an enchanted blade. We can end these fiends."
chris107: "Aye!" Agrees Ursa.
Sandor Sunneson: I will return too, once we have had a nights sleep
genghisdon: "Tania is my primary concern, but secondarily, they must he stoped, time is ever their ally"
Smon: Meda's shoulders sag in defeat. "Too many good warriors have already fallen... but I will not stop you. I will aid you as I can - Priestess Amanda has some holy water that might assist."
genghisdon: I'll check that tube we found
Smon: Gracyone pops the scroll tube. Inside is a map, still dry, legend "The Charmed Grotto - Bugbears & Spiders!"
genghisdon: we look it over
Smon: https://rpgcharacters.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/charmed-cave-small.jpeg?w=529
Smon: The map does not show the bandit bedrolls in the NE caves, but otherwise like that.
Smon: It says Spiders in the north caves, Bugbears & Goblins in the south.
chris107: No doubt the vampires have seen to them?
genghisdon: all somewhat out of date it seems
Smon: Damne: "Some adventurer was unaware vampires had moved in..."
genghisdon: some doubt chris, but i think u are correct
Smon: Damne: "Ursa, Gracyone, you fought bugbears on the road? The Goodkinds said you saved them - they're back now with half their supplies."
chris107: "Lady Meda, have you any advise for battling these vreatures?"
genghisdon: "yes, we did not utter;y fail"
genghisdon: she thinks holy water
Smon: Meda: "The bugbears have not troubled us in many years - and now they raid. I fear they may be Thralls to the vampire master, now."
8:21pm 2017-4-26 Dragonbill Has exited the room
genghisdon: or did
chris107: "There was a terrible statue of a Bugbear Goddess within the caves."
genghisdon: "probably...I thought the master to BE a vampire bugbear at first, but it seems not. They do worship a blood godesss in bugbear form
genghisdon: so willing thralls I'd guess
Smon: Meda: "I once fought a Vampire of Set in the Desert Lands - our Priest blasted it with Mycr's holy light. When it was incapacitated we used a stake to the heart."
chris107: Ursa describes the horrid thing
Smon: Meda: "Blood goddess? Ah yes, Feninva. A vampiric goddess - I expect the bugbears were cowed to worship the vampire lord."
chris107: Ursa starts to grimly sharpen a wooden stake.
Sandor Sunneson: Would Bane be of use with the light from the sword?
Smon: OOC Stopping in 6 mins.
Smon: As an illuminator, yes.
genghisdon: can try it
Smon: It will even shine underwater.
genghisdon: I have doubts about holy water vs aquatic undead, but maybe it works well
chris107: Can we look at fixing a light rune to Grond some time?
genghisdon: we were in dire straights always, had little room to experiment
Sandor Sunneson: So we leave again in the morning
genghisdon: i fear fire might not work well, but maybe it will be grerat
Smon: GM: You repair to rest and tend your wounds. Ursa is welcomed warmly by the buxom Buedra and has his Exhaustion recovered by morning.
Smon: You get half your hd back, so Drakonok on 3/6.
genghisdon: was trying to find blood goddess from blog, but u guys play lots of games
chris107: (OOC - I think we are in for a very dangerous ride guys)
Sandor Sunneson: What about working more with the bugbears? Infiltrating them to get to the vampire leader?
Smon: He eats heartily, lots of red meat in Meda's hall, and gets his hp max back up.
genghisdon: i get to 6/6 then? nice
Smon: Anyone else use over half their hd?
genghisdon: "I think they liked vampires long before this one came along Sandor"
chris107: "You are the friendliest Barbarian I have ever met lord Sandor. You're heart is soft and kind. I say kill the bloody lot of them!"
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, that is the case, but then we found out info from that goblin lady which assisted us in defeating Fion
genghisdon: "however, if we run into some, and I get the chance before u all start fighting (rare), I could charm bugbears"
Smon: Weaponmaster Damne nods: "Meda let that filth live, as long as they stayed out of our way. She is too kind. We should kill them all."
chris107: Ursa grins at the fierce weapon master.
Smon: She glances at Sandor. "But if there are Goblins, you may spare them."
genghisdon: "I don't care either way about the bugbears, but tend to agree"
genghisdon: lol
Sandor Sunneson: It was a one off.....lol
8:29pm 2017-4-26 Dragonbill Has entered the room
Smon: Damne grins.
genghisdon: "Sandor is simply being wise, or tryign to be...i think however, this path is unlikely here"
Smon: GM: Drakonok you healed up overnight & ate lots of beef to get your red blood cell count up.
Sandor Sunneson: True
Sandor Sunneson: consider all options
Smon: OOC OK stopping there.
Dragonbill: Let's kill evil vampires well more
Sandor Sunneson: and dismiss the negotation
genghisdon: (I'm on the win way tooFergus, divide/conquer, al lthat...just think it wil lfail here)
chris107: Nice one. Thanks for the game simon, guys
genghisdon: thanks for the game Simon, everyone
Smon: XP 2250 vamps, 300 exploration roleplay etc = 2250.
Smon: Posting log now.

Smon: 8pm for Hakeem tomorrow

Smon: This game continues Wed 7pm.
genghisdon: Thnx Fergus, although I'd say we did merely "ok"
Smon: Aiming to keep this very regular 7pm Weds.
chris107: 8PM, got you. Cheers again guys. G'night.
genghisdon: see you next week all!
Smon: Well I thought you might TPK vs 5 CR 5 vampire spawn.
Smon: Bye Don
Sandor Sunneson: I'll let you know what my schedule is for next month when it comes out, due in next few days.
