General Summary
Their first bronze mission complete, the party enjoy a nice meal and some drinks before heading to bed for the evening
The following morning, they accept their 2nd mission - to deliver a "chicken supreme" to someone called "Lawrence"
The missions seems simple enough, and they head to The Bronzemere Tavern to collect the food
Upon arrival, they meet Braden Silvermane, a cheerful Dwarf who suddenly goes stiff at the mention of Lawrence's Chicken Supreme
Braden leads the group into the stables, where he produces a small casket, with some liquid sloshing around inside
Having handed over the item, Braden comes back to his senses and quickly retreats to the taproom
The party make their way to the address provided by Braden, passing a duo of Pulcra worshippers on the way
Arriving at the large estate, the party find that the property is in desperate need of some TLC. A low-lying fog and some bats hint at what waits inside...
The front door is opened by a fancily-dressed man, who invites the party in. Lawrence introduces the party to his wife, and instructs them to take the casket to the top floor
The party creep over some vines on the way up the stairs, before bumping into Guilliem who is in the midst of magically communicating with someone
Guilliem pulls the party into a room, realising he has been overheard. He asks that the group keep his secret - he has hired vampire hunters to kill his housemates. Apparently they don't treat him very well, and deserve to die.
The group agree to keep the secret, but upon leaving the tiny room are confronted by Kevin
Kevin begins to bore the party with inane conversation, which begins to have some kind of mentally draining affect on the group
They quickly push past, and head up to the attic
Inside, the find an elderly looking man lying on a bed
The man beckons for them to come closer, and to feed him the contents on the casket (which is blood)
Upon consuming the blood, the man - a vampire - sits up and attacks the group
The vampire manages to score some nasty bites on some of the group, but is eventually defeated - turning to mist and floating away
Another man enters, and is shocked to find that the party have killed The Viscount. He doesn't seem overly concerned however - just mildly frustrated and somewhat impressed
The party head back downstairs, and receive their promised bonus. They manage to avoid the vampires' attempts at hypnosis (except for Meepo) and head back to the MacGuffin Gatherer's
They collect their reward, and after enjoying another meal and chat, head up to bed
That night, Blair has a dream, or possibly a vision... she spots one of the cleric's of Pulcra standing in the street, staring up at her window. The woman disappears, and as Blair turns - she is confronted by a looming, hooded figure. The being leans in close to Blair's face and simply says "I've found you"
