*the vampire drops as a pile of ash onto the floor, however there is a possability that one drop of blood could bring this partiularaly healthy specamin back into existence*

*turns and runs from the villa strapping his bow to his back*

< Sorry >

*The ghouls stand there as mindless as ever without there master they are nothing but corpses.*


*A few creatures still lurk in the shadows.*

*a strong-willed storm broods over the mansion*

*the blinding torents of rain are ocasionally illuminated by lightening flashes*

*the dirt path to the house has become a mud as thick as chocolate pudding*

*Lycan leads Pesh towards the villa though it is still in the distance*

*he spots something in the distance* you two STAY here

*Lycan leaves the dirt path and leaves Pesh and Cyiadan's vision*

* a group of orks stand around by a group of "skeleton" trees close to the villa*

*even Pesh and Cyiadan can hear the 3 Orks shout and argue just not clearly what about*

*then there is a flash of lightning and a large white wolf leaps from the trees and quickly dispatching of the three orks by ripping out their throats*

*blood drips from the wolfs mouth and he starts charging at Pesh and Cyiadan even through thick mud, he stops meters away from Cyiadan she can clearly see the wolf and the blood running from his mouth and teeth and then he seems to get spooked by her sight and runs into another group of dead trees*

*Polonius rides up the path, oblivious to the orc-chunks and blood, and knocks on the door, a large oak slab under a 40x20 ft portico*

*the door swings open*

*Polonius ties his horse up under the portico and enters the house*

*inside, a fire is already burning in the great haerth of the entry hall. To the left is a dining room, to the right is a ballroom. On either side of the entry hall is a staircase leading to the upstairs bedrooms. Obviously, there are more rooms and doors unseen, which would not be suprising as the rooms are scattered with furniture and personal artifacts.*

*Polonius approaches the fire, then stops and looks down.*

*He has accidentally tracked orc blood into the room and is now standing in a pile of dust*

How strange. Someone must have been interupted while cleaning the fireplace.

*Polonius moves towards a broom in the corner, picks it up, and walks back to the dust, but it is mysteriously gone*

Curiouser and curiouser. COME ON IN, EVERYBODY! THE COAST IS CLEAR!

*something moves in the dark.*

THE COAST IS CLEAR, ASIDE FROM THOSE DARK AND DREADFUL CORNERS PLUNGED INTO EATERNAL DARKNESS!

*strolls about the room and picks up a small brass urn*

I wonder who this be...

*Polonius drops to the floor unconscious*

*Curmanis and Tiamat ride right up to the villa, hearing the last bit of what Polonius said*

I wonder if their were any more orcs in there...

[Polonius]

*arrives*

*Cyiadan screams for Lycan, she is terrified that he is dead...her heart is punding as she realises that was the same wolf...*

*memories of that night assualt her, she squeezes her eyes shut trying to block out the visions*

*suddenly warm arms embrace her and a soft voice speaks*

You are safe little one

*sobs rack her body as she cries in his arms*

Th - that wolf...*sniff* he was...the one....*sniff* killed my *sniff* father

*Hears Cyiadan scream, and jumps off his horse, running towards her*

*Opon arriving, he brings his hand up to her mouth*

*whispering* Do not allert the enemy that we are here. I can smell something dangerous, besides those orcs.

*she panics when a hand gets put to her mouth, she begins to shake wildly*

<>

The wolf can't hurt you, I am here now</>

*as she buries her head deeper into his chest she takes a deep breath.......and recognises the scent of wolf*

*she begins to back away from Lycan*

What..what are you?
