 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).   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).  BonifaciusHolyfeather describes the man with 3 arrows.
 +
 +JeranSteele seems to think of the vampires as vermin.  BonifaciusHolyfeather describes them as the are here (you know, smart, dangerous, etc.).
 +
 +The rest of the party shows up.  They tell us about the vampires.  We all know that about 10 years ago the master vampire was killed and his "children" reverted, with many of them dying.  Most believe all vampires are dead.
 +
 +GeldarTheBard: If this thing is around, we must hunt it down and destroy it.  It's too dangers.
 +JeranSteele: We could check the villagers.  Should we do it openly?
 +BonifaciusHolyfeather: I'll do medical examinations.  We should tell the king, though.  We should have more info first.
 +GeldarTheBard: I will write it in the book, so the KingOfMorcant will know.
 +
 +SirKelvinHighheart shows up: "What are we doing."  BonifaciusHolyfeather checks him out (no bites, but great hair).
 +
 +We spend some time admiring his hair.  HelmetHair.
 +
 +SirKelvinHighheart would like us to go to HighTower.  We have stuff to do here.
 +...
 +GeldarTheBard points out that thing seem to befall people going to HighTower.
 +SirKelvinHighheart: My Head is here.  But what you just said: Way over my head.
 +
 +Some talk about whether or not HighTower uses fire and dragons to protect the realm.
 +
 +We would like to cast a truth spell.  
 +  * We ask him if HighTower employs dragons. (I just really don't know).  
 +  * Fire?  (Yes, of course, we forge with it, burned a witch or two).  
 +  * Living fire (Not sure what that is)  
 +  * Are you a vampire (No, more like a [???] soul)  
 +  * A simulacrum? (Maybe).  
 +  * If there is anything beneath the surface (12 out of 13 times, nothing) 
 +  * And the 13th time (usually not good.  Not supposed to talk about that).  
 +  * Something that might hurt us (1 out of 13 times.  The 13th one, has his own ideas, the 12 fear him) Is that who wants us to come to HighTower (I don't know, they behave as one, I just can't tell you).  
 +  * Who gave you the order (HighTower)  
 +  * What was the wizard's name (He had the seal.  I don't know which one, I'm not required to know).  
 +  * Describe the seal (Sort of a tower on a cloud, castle in the sky) 
 +  * How many pieces are we supposed to arrive in (all the pieces, one pieces, how many pieces do you come in)  
 +  * ?? (the former, honored guests).  
 +  * do you have your orders (yes, i'm just not supposed to show them to anybody).  
 +  * Why don't you recite them (I don't think I will) 
 +  * Why not (I was ordered to explicitly not share my orders.  Is there a reason why you wouldn't come to your trusted neighbors to the north).  
 +  * But how can we trust you (I don't need to know the orders you have from the king) 
 +  * [quick talking about extra orders] (He is very confused).  
 +  * Do your order specify a time frame (As soon as possible was implied).  
 +  * If as soon as possible, it's not possible to do it today.  I suggest you go to the inn and take a day off (I'm forced to agree with you.  But I'm supposed to be with you, so it's sort of a chicken and egg thing.  I'm going to go to the inn. You guys catch up later.  Good Talk)
 +
 +SirKelvinHighheart leaves.
 +
 +We call over the mayor and BonifaciusHolyfeather checks him (clear).  He figures out we are looking for vampires.  We ask about nearby running water.  No permanent streams.  Just on the other side of the mountain, there is a large lake.  Mayor points out the vampire would need shelter from the sun.  Couldn't be more than 15 miles away in any direction.  GeldarTheBard brings out a map of the area.  He asks where the vampire might hide.  We bury our dead at StoneSpyre.  In the mountains, there are DwarvenRuinsOfLongBarrow.  We discuss what to do.
 +
 +SirKelvinHighheart shows up and asks to help.  Then he asks to talk to JeranSteele and RyujiHakima.  JeranSteele talks to him alone.  Vampires.  I've dealt with them before.  After the vampire, there will be another thing.  I recommend you just leave it all behind.  It's known that there is always something to do before you go to HighTower.  You know (grrrr [finger motions]).  JeranSteele marches him out into the village.  JeranSteele shows him the scorched houses.  It may seem inconsequential to you, but we will take care of our people.  We will get to HighTower on our own time.  We will not ignore the needs of our people.
 +
 +  * KH: I see it.  Really, it's terrible.  But is really better to just go.
 +  * J: Your mysteries will not be mysteries forever.
 +    * Slaps his cheeks
 +  * KH: I liked the part with the fire
 +  * J: <narrows eyes>
 +  * KH: Oh, I said something wrong.  Let's wind it back to where we both liked it <finger guns>
 +
 +JeranSteele: he is trying to dissuade us from helping.
 +GeldarTheBard: I think we attracted the danger.
 +BonifaciusHolyfeather: If we leave, will the vampire leave.  We could defeat the vampire then leave.
 +RyujiHakima: There are threats here.  But they are growing.  It feels like magic ... very coincidental.  But now that we know there is a threat, it seems we must follow our responsibilities.  We must choose head or heart.
