In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 10):

Marlena and Snorri have long been npcs.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 12):

Ok. Where is she at FP/HO wise?

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 13):

still in a deficit

"So, a choice. Go deeper, leaving these behind us and hope that nothing opens them. Or finish at least some of these off now?" points out Hannatti. "Honestly, I'd go for finish these off. Which do each off you want to do first? "

======
OOC: How many of these unoped coffins remain? Four more?

He walks over and tries to lend energy to Marlena, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"I am ready yo continue when when you are," Balir says to the others

OOC: The previous boxes were pretty easy to handle, so unless something unexpected is about to occur :), I'd be OK with just assuming we kill off the remaining boxed vamps, and we can move on.

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 17):

"We came to kill vamps, so we kill them before moving on. I will lend Energy to Marlena. Why don't I rest and recover energy, lending it to Marlena as she opens boxes and the rest of you deal with the contents?"

] Thank you for the bio line. Kirpich will rest for another 16 minutes while the others open the coffins.

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 17):

======
OOC: Fine here with Balir'ssuggested fast forwards. It has become an SOP.

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 19):

"Thank you"
she releases another lock, and Balir swings the pick as soon as it opens.... and the pick impacts in the earth filling the coffin except for the child vampire  at the lower half of the box; the pick is right next to his ear.

In reply to Marlena DuBois (msg # 20):

the child shrieks and several of the remaing boxes begin to rattle.

It lunges for Balir's leg!

He steps (if necessary) and swings the Silvered short sword at the creatures neck.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 22):

"Guess we will see real soon if any are mages..."

Balir shakes his head and swings at the heart of child vampire yet again

OOC: Hit child vamps heart (roll 9 vs 13 target) for 5 impaling damage with stakepick

07:54, Today: Balir Ironhide rolled 9 using 3d6.  child vamp heart (-1 sice, -3 vitals = target 13)
07:55, Today: Balir Ironhide rolled 5 using 2d6+1.  dam vs child vamp.

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 24):

this time, instead of transforming into red mist, the child crumbles to dust.

"Whhhoo," utters Hannatti quietly. "Slow me."

After looking, collecting if appropraite, from the most recently now-vacated coffin, she shuffles across ready for the next one that's rattling. When all are ready, she nods to Marlena and passes a silent smile for, 'Yes, please, open the next one if you will.'

======
OOC: 19:55, Today: Hannatti rolled 13 using 3d6.  Thrown stake to vitals 17-3=14
Success!
Active defences at -3 for prone & -2 for small thrown missile
19:57, Today: Hannatti rolled 5 using 1d6.  Wooden stake damage (0.5) impale

Noting the rattling coffins, Kirpich creates a stone missile...

As per usual Balir lines up, ready to open when unlocked.

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 28):

as Marlena opes a coffin, its occupant rushing into an ambush, the coffin accross bursts open, its occpan leaping toward Snorri!

Balir does what he has done so many times before and impales the bouncy vampire with his stakepick.

OOC: hit vamp in the heart (roll 12 vs 14 target) for 10 impaling wooden damage (stakepick)

20:44, Today: Balir Ironhide rolled 12 using 3d6.  stakepick vs next vamp heart (target 14)
20:44, Today: Balir Ironhide rolled 10 using 2d6+1.  damge vs vamp.

Kirpich sends his stone missile at the head of the unexpected arrival...

He moves against the new arrival, using his silvered short sword. He swings for the neck.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 32):

as Aethul, Snorri and Kirpich all strike the new vamp,it errupts into a cloud of red mist, its bloodied gear falling to the ground.

meanwhile, Balir has impaled the boxed vamp, which spits bloodand shakes violently.

In reply to Snorri Roslovich (msg # 33):

Kirpich creates another stone missile to replace the last.

First we have seen so much blood, perhaps they have just eaten?

Balir leaves the stake in, pulls out his silvered axe, and decapitates the vampire in front of him
