Jun Jia silently prayed to her ancestors that her Silver sword would hurt the unholy progeny of vampires. She cautiously opened the lid of her coffin. Then, the Monk aimed her blade for the vampire spawn’s neck! The blade flashed twice in a gleaming blur of silver!

OOC:

22:12, Today: Jun Jia rolled 6 using 1d6+3.  Attack #2 Damage.

As Vyktor prepared to enter the shop, he paused a moment, considering what it was they were walking into. His initial thought was to set the entire building ablaze, but realized that putting Henrik's property to the torch would be much like what was done to his own estate prior to his exile. He could not do that unless there were no other alternative. Perhaps it was this notion which seemed to bolster the former knight, for he suddenly felt a sense of confidence.

Vyktor clapped the old man next to him on the shoulder, "Bravery Chokahr, for our goal is within our grasp. You've strength in you yet!"

Vyktor positioned himself quietly near a window. He then reached beneath his cloak and withdrew his strange and fearsome weapon. Without opening one of the coffins, he placed the muzzle of the gun a few inches above where the chest would be, and proceeded to pull the trigger! Smoke and white flames belched forth, accompanied by a peal of thunder!

---

Casting Protection from Evil on Chokahr and Vyktor. Concentration, 10 mins. Creatures [undead] have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them.

Pistol Attack - Assuming the vampire's inside a coffin and Sneak Attack as it's basically point blank. Pact weapon counts as magic wrt resistance/immunity.
Vyktor Rosewylde rolled 25 to hit for 10 magic bludgeoning damage (includes Sneak Attack)

Jun Jia's sword is met with an unexpected supernatural resistance. The blade cut through the skin easily enough, but it did not sever the vampire's head. His eyes rushed open and he hissed, scrambling to climb out.

Taking their cues, the wereravens began thrusting their rapiers into their vampires. The room was soon an eruption of startled vampires screaming and clawing to get up from their coffins.

Vyktor's shot was met with the expected snap of wood and then the satisfying crunch of the sternum. The coffin lid flew up and slammed against the ceiling as the woman tossed it aside in rage. Her white silk dress shirt was quickly being recolored crimson red.

ROUND 1: Players turns. Ceila and Chokahr have normal attacks, no longer a surprise advantage.
Vampire Spawn AC15
1 hp-11
2 hp-10

Ceila didn't hesitate-- she lunged at the one nearest Jun!  Holy fire burned along her blade as she attacked, roaring a cry of defiance at the forces of darkness!

Two Rapier attacks.

23:03, Today: Ceila Greendoor rolled 26,29 using d20+d4+8,d20+d4+8 ((15,3;20,1)).

Two hits, I'm using a Lv 1 Smite with the second, which is a Crit!

Damage is
23:05, Today: Ceila Greendoor rolled 13,38 using 1d8+7,6d8+7 ((6,4,8,5,6,7,1)).
So that's 51 damage... of which about 30 is Radiant.

OOC: I’ll spend 1 Ki point for Flurry of Blows, and 1 Ki point for Stunning Strike with the Silver Sword.

The vampire’s unnatural durability surprised Jun Jia throwing off her first kick when she attempted a special kick. However, her foot lashed out again in a roundhouse kick and found the vampire’s jaw! Gripping the Silver Sword in her hand, Jun slashed again with a blur of sliver flashes as she channeled her Ki! When the first slash struck, Jun Jia attempted to disrupt the flow of the vampire’s Ki.

If it worked, the strike would stun her undead foe.

OOC2:


I’ll spend the 2nd Ki on the Flurry Attack that hit for the Stunning Strike.
Vampire Spawn makes a CON check, vs. DC 13, or she’s stunned until the end of my next turn.

15:06, Today: Jun Jia rolled 6 using 1d6+3.  Flurry w/Silver Sword, damage.
15:05, Today: Jun Jia rolled 4 using 1d6+3.  Unarmed Strike Damage.
15:02, Today: Jun Jia rolled 15 using 1d20+6.  Flurry #2.
15:02, Today: Jun Jia rolled 18 using 1d20+6.  Flurry of Blows #1.
15:01, Today: Jun Jia rolled 18 using 1d20+6.  Extra Attack.
15:00, Today: Jun Jia rolled 10 using 1d20+6.  Unarmed Strike.

Jun already took her 1st round turn, we can save this for round 2 or try again but it won't apply to this round.

In reply to DM (msg # 37):

OOC: I though we were in Round 2. Yes, let’s save it for Round 2.

Vyktor stepped back, raising the hem of his weighted cloak instinctively. He cocked the hammer if his pistol and snarled his defiance at the terrible creature which had just erupted from the coffin.

"Get back in your box, vile creature of death!"

The muzzle of his odd weapon blazed with light and radiant flame!

Action: Casting Sacred Flame cantrip, she must make a DC13 Dex Save or take 12 radiant damage.
Vyktor Rosewylde rolled 12 using 2d8 ((6,6)).
Bonus: Cunning Action Disengage
Move: Create space such that she must move next to another character to get at Vyktor.

Chokahr was feeling angry. All this running around just for some bones because the lousy priest here had no divinity of his own. Beggars could not be choosers, he just hoped his strength didn't fail him from his aging.

He hacked away at the vampire that Jun Jia and Ceila were attacking, his body transforming under the bestial curse. He figured 3 on 1 would finish it off faster, but did not for one second think about how Vyk was on his own.

The entire upstairs was a bloodbath of wereravens and vampire spawn. The four kept close and concentrated on their 2 vampires.

The vampires were now awake and crawling along the ceiling; moving with unholy speed to bite and claw, rip and tear. The position of your enemy on the ceiling was strange and discomforting to say the least. It seemed the vampires were used to biting from above.

The male grabs Chokahr by the hair and crane's the barbarians neck over for the typical bite. You see the vampire's wounds recovering from drinking the blood, despite Ceila's radiant smite.

Meanwhile, Vyk's vampire's chest closes up on it's own. The woman smiles and tears open her soaked silk shirt just to show off her body's healing capability. Good as new. She lunges at our gun-rogue and tears a hole through his head with her long nails.

Then Jun Jia's blows against the man sucking Chokahr's life out of him drop the vampire off of the ceiling. He smashes to the wooden floor head first and doesn't move.

Vyktor's sacred flame is easily dodged.

Vyk crit for 16 slashing dmg.
Chokahr bit for 13 necrotic and his hit points are permanently reduced by that much until long rest.

ROUND 2: Players turns. Jun Jia and Vyk's turns already applied. Just need Ceila's turn
Vampire Spawn AC15
1 DEAD
2 hp-0

HOLY MOLY! I thought this was going to be a close fight you actually might have been able to take on all 6. 

One hand on his throat, the other on his axe, Chokahr roared and struck the remaining vampire.

20dmg
hp46/46

Ceila wasn't going to let the vampire get away from her, not after biting Chokhar!

"YOU," she said, pointing her blade at the creature.  "For your crimes, you will be destroyed!"

And she lunged, her blade a line of silver fire!

Bonus Action: Oath of Vengeance, so this one goes down!
22:25, Today: Ceila Greendoor rolled 17,25,22 using 1d20+1d4+8,1d20+1d4+8,1d20+1d4+8 ((5,4;16,1;11,3)).

Whoops, missed one roll...

22:26, Today: Ceila Greendoor rolled 28 using 1d20+1d4+8 ((19,1)).

Ah, almost a crit!  But I'll Smite again on the first attack, and both hit.

22:27, Today: Ceila Greendoor rolled 23,8 using 3d8+7,1d8+7 ((5,3,8,1))

So that's another 31 damage, of which 11 is Radiant.

The woman screamed, this time she did not heal. She looked around, the battle was going just as badly for her comrades.

She disengaged and sprinted toward the boarded up window.

CRASH. A normal being would not survive the 15' drop, but she landed on her toes as if it were nothing.

ROUND 3: Everyone's turn, ranged only, but if you want to superhero jump out the window make an athletics or acrobatics check dc15 or take 10dmg.

V2 hp-51 30' away, outside the house on the street, running

Vyktor stepped to the window and braced his pistol against one side of the broken boards. He took careful aim and let lose two blasts after the fleeing vampiric foe! The projectiles streaked ahead, trailing bits of writhing smoke which lingered unnaturally.

Then, without consideration for his advanced age, he foolishly leapt from the window as he would have done while a younger man. Luckily, his muscle memory was still good enough to know when to roll upon landing. With a groan he regained his feet and kept up his pursuit.


Action: Casting Eldritch Blast cantrip, Vyktor Rosewylde rolled 24,15 to hit for 6 force damage on the first bolt and 4 on the second.
Move: Pursuit! 30' (Acrobatics DC15, Vyktor Rosewylde rolled 24!!!)
Bonus: Cunning Action Disengage
[maintaining concentration on Protection from Evil on self, Vamp has DisAdv on attacks vs Vyktor]

Ceila ran to the window and went in pursuit of her target.  The fall was jarring, but Ceila wasn't going to let that stop her from charging the fleeing vampire!

OOC:  Acrobatics 10, so 10 damage.  Oh, well. VENGEANCE!
Concentration Check is 12, so Bless is still up.

So, STABBITY!
22:51, Today: Ceila Greendoor rolled 26,14,16,25 using d20+d4+8,d20+d4+8,d20+d4+8,d20+d4+8 ((14,4;5,1;5,3;16,1)).

Another two hits.  One more Smite to make sure she stays down...

22:52, Today: Ceila Greendoor rolled 36 using 4d8+14 ((1,5,8,8)).
36 damage, of which 13 is Radiant

Jun Jia leapt out of the window in harried pursuit of the vampire! She kicked off a neighboring wall, landing catlike on her feet with no damage! Without breaking stride, Jun dashed after the vampire. Because the undead woman had an ample head start, Jun attempted to wound her from a distance. Plucking two Darts, the Monk hurled them, and one found it’s mark!

OOC:


15:32, Today: Jun Jia rolled 6 using 1d4+3.  Damage.
15:32, Today: Jun Jia rolled 8 using 1d20+6.  Dart.
15:31, Today: Jun Jia rolled 18 using 1d20+6.  Dart.
15:30, Today: Jun Jia rolled 19 using 1d20+6.  Acrobatics .

The dart caught the vampire in the back of the knee. The dart itself wasn't what dropped her though. What dropped her was the sabertooth tiger that came out of nowhere from the corner of the next building. Oddly enough, the beast was wearing custom fit plate armor. It was covered in blood, not just the blood of the vampire, but it did not seem interested in eating, it just turned toward you to see if you were the flavor it was seeking.

RAWR.

NEW ROUND.
acrobatics check dc15 to climb out the window, if fail take 6dmg and prone. If you want to run downstairs it will cost your full turn to dash and end up 30' away.
Sabertooth Tiger with plate armor AC18
Jun Jia 30' away
Ceila 60' away
Vyk 90' away and upstairs

Ceila had no intent of letting the vampire spawn escape, and sprinted after her!

Dashing to keep up.

@Celia - Uh... re-read the last DM post...

Vyktor paused a moment in his pursuit of the vampire woman when he saw the tiger-being blur into view. He held his weapon on the newcomer, watching the tiger watch him. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend..." he said slowly.

He lowered his gun. Beneath his cloak however, the other hand rested on the handle of a simple dinner knife he'd found not long after arriving in this cursed realm. It was intricate in design, but most importantly, perhaps, was that its blade was of pure silver...

"There are more vampires to kill, but we're not them..." Vyktor said carefully gesturing toward the Coffin-maker's shop with a jerk of his chin. "Why don't you go hunt there?" He stepped to the side to give the tiger an unobstructed view. The din of battle could be heard in that direction.

Jun Jia stood still. She slowly motioned Vyktor to remain back. “I do not think the Tiger wants the vampires or us. Keep very still.”

Indeed, you were not the prey the tiger sought. After another fierce roar and sniffing the air, the beast bounded away toward the north.

The sounds of vampires and wereravens in war continued from the second story of the coffin shop. But among all you hear the raging war screams of Chokahr, the only one who did not chase after the fleeing vampire.

When you return to the room all is settled. Three wereravens dead. All six vampires dead.

Chokahr has his hand on his throat, covered in blood.

The old barbarian pulled his hand away to reveal the vampire bite in his neck. He just laughed.

"Time will tell if the poison of undead can override the curse of the beast within. Let's get these bones to the Priest before we die of old age." He panted.

"Agreed," said Ceila.  "But lead the way, pray.  I haven't met this priest yet."

Vyktor looked for something to press against the wound in Chokahr's neck. He looked upon his aged companion grimly, hoping the priest had a little extra in the way of spiritual healing above the removal of their curses.

"I know the way," he said to Celia, "help Chokahr." Vyktor fetched the bones and made ready to head out.

"Thank you," he said. It was directed to his companions, but also to the remaining wereravens, without whom the recovery of the bones would have been impossible.

Heinreich Van Der Voot drops to his knees, tears flowing from his eyes, finally he is free from the terror of terrors.

"Thank you!" He sputters.

You head to the Church...
