Polkitain can sense the other dragon very close nearby, somewhere in this basement. He cannot pinpoint the location any more accurately than that.

Lucus confirms that vampires definitely do not radiate body heat. The basement is very much light-proofed, so bringing a light source like a flashlight down there is necessary. He finds that so long as the flashlight is turned on anywhere in the room or up the stairs, his nightvision setting works perfectly.

The basement has a wooden staircase with its own two walls and a corner that it turns before reaching the ground floor. The walls of the staircase are painted flat black to reflect no daylight from above. The walls of the basement are cobblestone with no windows. The ceiling is pine planks supported by cedar rafters. The door at the far end is a simple light wooden door with a sliding bolt on the coffin-side. The coffins are cherry and mahogany finely crafted structures. The floor was once stone but has been dug out to reveal hard packed soil.

No bells nor buzzers are found on the outside of the coffins.

Polkitain looks to Lucas, ~Uhmn should I take coffins up ? Found no bells or buzzers, strange though why dont they just sleep in comfy beds ? OH !!! Dragon is down here somewhere, I sense him !~

Na-Wa looks around and points to the door on the far side of the room. "Whon-Ecke says is on other side of door."

Whilst the others cast their eyes over the room, Nyx carefully removed two TW flares from his utility belt, placing them atop the closest coffin quietly. Next to them he placed four wooden stakes, pausing to ensure they're lined up in parallel. Done, he smiled, offering in a low tone, "Sadly no grenades..."

Polk looks at the strange TW things Nyx set down. Trying to figure out what they do.

Lucas returned just in time to hear Nyx lamenting his lack of grenades. He stepped into the room, dangling one from his fingers, and quietly queried, "I thought these weren't useful against vampires though. Just wood and silver?" At the mention of wood, he carefully dropped half a dozen more quickly made wooden stakes beside Nyx's.

“Depends what you put in them”, smirked the ‘slinger, before adding more soberly”So. We pop the Daylight flare, stake ‘em as fast as we can and then watch them burn?”

Na-Wa watched and listened. “So Na-Wa help kill blood sucked how?”

Lucas cocked his head to one side as he looked at the coffins and put his grenade away. "Should we do one at a time, or all at once? I guess I don't see how we could do all at once without waking them up first."

Nyx's fingered twitches close to his holster, mentally checking his weapons were free if staking one caused a ruckus; regardless he nodded at Lucas and took a TW Globe of Daylight flare ready to trigger it

OOC: Plan as I understand it: kick off the flare, stake first vampire, proceed with others if that is ok and trigger the other flare if needed. Assuming there's anything left of the leeches, take the staked bodies outside

Na-Wa grabs one of his wooden knives.

Polkitain mumbles in Dragonese mystic words and touches Nyx.


Armor of Ithan 30 MDC
3 Minutes or until depleted


He then scampered to the stairs and cast Globe of Daylight trying to position it to prevent any vampires from running off that way.

Turning away from the coffin with their stakes on top, Lucas moved to the next closest one. When the daylight started shining, he looked over in surprise then put his flashlight away with a chuckle and pulled out his wooden club. Laying his free hand on the coffin's lid, he paused, "Will they immediately wake up when I open this, or will we have time to position ourselves after?"

Polk walked over.
"Anyone else wish armor ? and should I not be a rat ?"

Polk tilts his head as he gets an idea and he gnaws into the side of the coffin to see if there is anyone home.

The gnawing was that little extra bit of noise which broke the sandman's back. While Polkitain chews, he hears the body inside the coffin turn over. This is the same coffin over which Lucas is holding his hand, so Lucas hears the tumble also. Nix has his flare positioned wherever he likes, and Na-Wa is standing at the bottom of the stairs with a wooden knife in each hand.

The coffin lid begins sliding without Lucas touching it.

At the first twitch of the coffin lid, Nyx popped the TW flare in his hand, sending shafts of artificial magical daylight across the basement; with a flick of his hand he dropped the flare into the opening coffin and with a flick of his mind summoned two stakes to his hands

"Yeah something is in here." Polk bangs his head as he lifts it in the classic excited child below the table having something to say.

He then saw the bright flash of the TW flare going off and let his eyes adjust.

A soft lullaby drifted up from the coffin. Polk tried to sing the vampire back to sleep.

"Rockaby baby in the tree tops when the wind breaks the cradle will drop" Polk started singing a few lines ahead in his head ~down will come baby cradle and all...who the heck thought this would be relaxing to a young egg ?

He gave up if it didnt work and bit some undead flank steak.

The flare lands in the coffin with a plunk. Lucas pushes the lid closed and holds it shut with all of his might. Polkatain's lulliby is entirely drowned out by a blood-curling scream of pain from inside of the coffin. The entire heavy wood coffin bumps around under Lucas' weight like a Mexican jumping bean.

The sixth sense alerts Na-Wa like a spider on the back of his neck. Looking behind him, he sees the lid of another coffin sliding open. Nyx feels it too.

Of the six coffins, Lucas is holding one shut. Four are sliding open. One remains still.

Quick as a snake, Nyx sweeps up a stake with an ectoplasmic tendril and leaps towards the nearest coffin to strike it into the heart of the beast within

With his Sixth Sense triggered, he receives a +6 to Initiative
11:10, Today: Nyx rolled 18 using 1d20+8.  Strike with Stake (== WP Knife).
