Military action
As Alucard Troops were heavily weakened the party was sent out to recruit new sellswords in Fallowheart.
It was clear who attacked the mansion of Alucard, as he plastered his families symbol onto the walls of the mansion. Sylas Blacktree, a higher vampire, also in consideration for the free seat of the Crimson Court and the Lord of Lunsk, a foresting-town in the midst of the Stillborn Forest. With this attack Sylas Blacktree invoked the Law of Revenge, as If you are attacked in Ostoya you have to take vengeance upon the aggressor or you shall be dishonored. So if Alucard would not attack Sylas Blacktree he would be eliminated from the list of potential members of the Crimson Court. As it was clear the the high noble had more advanced troops, and a higher number of them, Alucard sent the party to Fallowheart to recruit more troops as they suffered heavy losses in the last months. With 10.000 gp as a resource, the adventurers hired enough sellswords to have a chance against the Shadar-Kai troops. They were sent towards Alucards mansion, while Renfield wanted to take a detour.
