RyujiHakima decides we will head to StoneSpire and deal with the possible vampire. The LongBarrow town guards report they find no further evidence of vampire victims.  GeldarTheBard scouts out the StoneSpire on ShadowfaxThePegasus.  He finds a partially ruined keep.

PhineasTristillian scrounges up a few stakes and a vial of holy water.  JeranSteele helps BonifaciusHolyfeather heal the wounded and arrange housing.  The Mayor of LongBarrow comes and asks RyujiHakima what is happening.  He leaves Key (a clark in his employ) to document what has happened.  GeldarTheBard talks to SirKelvinHighheart.  They discuss our plans.

RyujiHakima sends GeldarTheBard to muster the troops.  We discuss where to go (keep, StoneSpire) and what we know about vampires. RyujiHakima decides we will go to the keep.

----
We arrive at the keep.  Surrounded by a cloud of bats.  RyujiHakima: "See, dramatic bastards!"

I move across the sunken drawbridge.  I check out the keep.  I don't see anything, but I smell rot.  I move towards the gatehouse.  I find a floating body, killed violently.  I approach and find another body weighed down with rocks.  I call that back to the party and hide in the shadows of the gatehouse.

RyujiHakima moves onto the drawbridge.  He sees a piece ornate cloth hanging from the battlements.  GeldarTheBard flies over the keep and plays his lute.  He can see many bodies under the water (many weighted down with stones).  PhineasTristillian recognizes the family emblem of the EldenEmperor on that cloth.

I sneak up to the front door. Stone door, with the outside handle rotted away.  There are a couple of other stone doors on either side of the courtyard.  I look for a window, but there are only arrow slits.  I report back to RyujiHakima.

JeranSteele and RobTheBot cross over.

  - Round
    - GeldarTheBard recognizes this as the architecture of TheBrightons (the FirstMen).  He flies over the main keep, and sees a massive pile of wood and earth inside the shell of the keep.  Oh, and a coffin.  And beaten pathways leading to and from it.  Just that.
    - PhineasTristillian moves up, and tells us that the banner is the sigil of the EldenEmperor.  He hears and feels scraping on the stones under us.  Something dragging in or under the stone.  The water appears to be draining.

    - JeranSteele moves forward
