+The fire starts to die out.  About a half mile from LongBarrow.
+We walk out of the forest covered in ash and cinders.  The mayor gives us drinks from his golden cup (local tradition for heroes).  We are tired, but the inn swells with refugees.  "We will rebuild and replant"  "No dragon will stop us".  GeldarTheBard inspires them with song.  I look around the crowd to see if anyone is acting strange or out of place.  I see a well dressed man at the end of the bar.  He has ordered multiple drinks.  He is not a townsperson.  He is talking with people in the crowd, and has an incredible smile (he has a gold enameled breastplate).  He sports the heraldry of HighTower.
+GeldarTheBard comes closer to me and listens.  He sees incredible smile (SirKelvinHighheart) gives a gold coin to the bartender.
+  * G: It's on me
+  * S: What amazing good cheer
+  * G: my name is geldar
+  * S: I have your third album
+  * G: Who are you?
+  * S: I am SirKelvinHighheart
+  * S: Well met.
+  * G: What brings you to a small town on this least auspicious evening
+  * S: I have been sent to collect the King's Hand and bring them to HighTower
+  * G (shows his badge).
+  * S: Why bless my shorts, you're actually one of those hands!"
+  * G: We have been in town
+  * S: What good look, I'm looking for the King's Hands and I meet one!
+  * ...
+  * S: Orders a few rounds for the house (the town, really).
+(BonifaciusHolyfeather is at the Guardhouse, tending the wounded).
+We gather at a table with SirKelvinHighheart.
+  * KH: I was sent to take you to HighTower castle (LakeCastle).
+  * Me: What was that castle named
+  * KH: LakeCastle.  I'm sure it's a double entendre.
+  * G: smooze smooze
+  * KH: I have to drink a lot of beer.
+  * G: smooze smooze
+  * KH: I'm told I have an excellent voice.
+  * G: Let's perform some of my oldies together
+  * KH: I'd be honored
+They perform for the crowd, and SirKelvinHighheart hams it up.  Not much dynamic range, but he can follow them as long as they are just as written.  Together, they are just amazing!  Couple of guys in the crowd "They sound just like Geldar!  Great cover band!"
+JeranSteele pulls GeldarTheBard aside.
+  * JS: Sorry about the fight.
+  * G: No harm no foul.
+  * JS: of course, you are right.  As long as there's no bad blood.
+  * ... nicy nicy
+  * ... nicy nicy
+  * G: That Dragon trick is amazing.
+  * JS: I can only do that so many more times.  Maybe we should be better prepared.  Didn't know there were that many of them.
+  * G: We would have prevailed anyways.
+  * JS: Thank you for your confidence.
+JeranSteele goes outside and turns back into a dragon and enjoys it.
+PhineasTristillian heads to bed, but SirKelvinHighheart point him out: "When I say High you say Heart!"  "Come on, I'm pointing at you"
+  * SK: If I don't miss my guess, you are a son of Elden
+  * PT: Yes.
+  * SK: It might be your clothes, etc. etc., but I am sharp and notice these things.  How do you find yourself in the KingsHand?
+  * PT: I was raised by elves.
+  * SK: Elves, slaves in [[EldenEmpire|Elden]], right?
+  * PT:
+  * SK: You are some sort of spy, for the [[EldenEmperor|Emperor]], right?
+  * PT: No.
+  * SK taps nose
+  * PT (that's a rude gesture), "That's a little much"
+  * SK: "When I say High, you say Heart" and disappears off into the adulation of the crowd.
+PhineasTristillian goes on to bed.
+BonifaciusHolyfeather is brought a girl in a coma.  They found her out in the fields.  He checks her condition.  She on the verge of becoming a zombie.  She is dying right now, and when she does, she will be a zombie.  He calls upon his god's healing for her mortal wounds.  Then he tries to restore her, and her fever subsides.
+Where did you find her?  In a southern field (all the attacks have been coming from the north; towards [[Trogdor]]).  He asks for JeranSteele and RyujiHakima, who arrive shortly.  BonifaciusHolyfeather shows them the girl, and tells them she had undeath.  He is worried the next wave is coming.  JeranSteele: do you know exactly where she was found?  The villagers will show them there to look for clues.
+They go inspect the field.  JeranSteele uses an item to enhance his abilities (fox's cunning).  He checks around and finds a single set of heavy boot prints leading off to the south.  The field is full of small plant sprouts, no features (bushes, rocks, etc.) near the field.  He does find a locket on a leather thong where the girl was laying.  The plants in the immediate area is dead and withered (almost in a perfect circle).
+Inside the locket, they fine a small picture of a woman's bust.  Lots of hair on top of her head held in place by a fancy comb.  They look at picture, then JeranSteele tries to get behind the picture.  He finds a small pressed blue flower.  He gently scoops them out and holds it in his hand to protect from the wind.  BonifaciusHolyfeather recognizes it is a posy (a la "pocket full of posies"--has a sinister association with plague).
+They go back to question the girl, but she is in a deep healing sleep.  They will let her sleep and check in the morning.  BonifaciusHolyfeather: Just in case, can we manacle her?  JeranSteele with have RobTheBot look over the girl.  They call me over and I get some manacles out of my bag.  RobTheBot will wake BonifaciusHolyfeather when she wakes.
+----
+Next Day
+BonifaciusHolyfeather finds her resting.  Her eyes open.  They are incredibly bloodshot.
+  * BH: What's your name?
+  * L: I'm called [[LiraOfLongBarrow|Lira]].
+  * BH: I'm Bonifacius
+  * L: Am I in trouble?
+  * BH: No, but we have some questions.  The manacle is for your protection.
+  * L: Ok.  So if I answer questions, I don't have to wear manacles.
+  * BH: Not if you aren't going to harm the villagers
+  * L: No!
+  * BH: I'll take themoff
+  * L: I chased my dog, Oliver out into the field.  I ... I saw a man standing in the field watching the fires.
+  * BH: Do you remember anything else
+  * L: I never saw his face.  He had 3 big arrows coming out of his; what do you call that--Quiver?
+  * BH: Do you remember his face?
+  * L: Well he had a hood. ... But then I saw a flash of red.  His eyes were red!  Then I got sleepy.
+  * BH: Can you turn your head
+    * Checks for vampire bites.  He finds puncture wounds on her neck.
+  * BH: Oh my dear, those wounds look most painful
+  * L
+    * Reaches up and touches them
+  * BH:
+    * Heals them.
+  * L: They're just scabs.
+  * BH: Do you know where your parents, or husband is?
+  * L: Oh, I have a husband.
+Sends her back to the inn.  BonifaciusHolyfeather sends RobTheBot to get JeranSteele.  BonifaciusHolyfeather is pacing.  Tells JeranSteele she was attacked by a vampire.  JeranSteele asks if she will be a problem (makes fang motions).  Bonifacius describes the man with 3 arrows.
