An Unexpected Guest

Miscellaneous

While traveling to Duskview trying to decide what to do with the Grasp of Death, the party is viseted by the last person they expected to see.

A few days after the party killed Radulos Deathbloom and took The Grasp of Death they awoke to find their campsite had a visitor. Dressed in simple, but well made clothes, and carrying no weapons was Lord Idris Daemon. He spoke with them, told them who he was and said he was looking for a friend. After some discussion the party realized that Lord Daemon was the "good friend" Radulos had spoken of. Unsure of what to do they let Lord Daemon walk away, but before he could leave completely Darren Brawnbeard called him back and kicked off a fight.

At first, Lord Daemon proved untroubled by the party, resisting blows that would have brought lesser men low. More quickly than he expected, however, the party began to gain the upper hand. He realized this and tried to change tactics, revealing himself to be a vampire, but it was too late. Darren landed the final hit and defeated him. His formed turned to mist and vanished across the mountains towards his castle. The party celebrated a hard fought victory and continued on their journey, looking forward to a bed and a good night's rest in the town of Duskview.
