Anvil watches the fangs of the vampiric dwarf in front of him and marvels at how unusual they are.
"I think we should pull those out when we're finished," Anvil says. "And examine them more closely."
Hefting his shield and his still crackling mace, he swings the enchanted weapon again at the dwarf.
Action - Searing Smite still present since Anvil missed last turn: Mace - Attack: 9 Damage: 8 plus 4 fire damage from Divine Strike, plus 4 fire damage from Searing Smite.
Your fascination distracts you for only a microsecond before you snap back to the reality of the situation. With a grunt, you don't know why you did that its just something you observed flesh creatures do when fighting, you swing your searing hot weapon towards the vampire as it reels back under the blows of Vulcans greataxe striking it under there jaw. With a flash of flame its head snaps back in what surely would have been a killing blow if this thing were alive. Its head sits at a slightly odd angle now as it stares down you both.
Seeing the blows landed by everyone Golwing looks around the room spies a few large chunks of rock in a far corner. His eyes glow golden as he reaches out towards the rocks. 2 med sized ones float into the air and suddenly flies out towards both vampires.
Casting [Tooltip Not Found] at 2nd lvl and using 2 sorcery points for twinned spell toward each vampire. They need to make a DC 18 Dex save (the one entangled is at dis) On a fail they take 20 bludgeoning damage.
1st Vampire: Dex save 19
2nd Vampire (dis): Dex Save 12
The first rock just misses the vampire and smashes against the wall showering it, plus Vulcan and Anvil, in harmless pebbles and dust. The other rock flies past Gaetana's head and catches the vampire directly in the face knocking it back into the wall.

Gruno snarls in pain as the creature's claws rip his side and chest. Using the fact that Gaetana is partially distracting the creature, Gruno stabs his weapons in looking for vulnerabilities in it's defenses.
Main hand with Inspiration for advantage - Attack: 16 Damage: 29 Off hand Attack: 10 Damage: 1
Blocking the pain you stab forward catching the creature off balance and you feel the blade slide deep in-between its ribs as it lets out a curdling shriek. Striking out with your dagger you manage to just nick it while to writhes in pain. Blackish blood is pouring down the creatures body, seem you hit something vital.

Gaetana sees that the other vampire has a gaping hole on it's side and is bleeding pretty profusely. So they can be killed she thinks to herself and she readies her rapiers for another attack. She smiles to herself and she thrusts her rapier into the animal, bringing it back and thrusting again, hopefully making a detrimental hit to this one. Then with a back hand, hits it again with her other rapier in a finishing move.
With advantage since the creature is restrained...

Anvil watches the large chunk of rock smash against the wall and then watches the shower of small pebbles and dust fall to the floor for a moment. His gaze then returns to the vampire like dwarf in front of him and Sulfuas.
He swings his mace around in a windmill like arc, looking to knock the dwarf to the ground.
Action: Attack: 22 Damage: 7 plus 5 fire damage from Divine Strike.
Dwarf also needs to make a DC16 Constitution Save against the Searing Strike from last round taking 4 fire damage if they fail. Spell ends if they succeed.
Vulcan your strikes rend the creature as the first removes an arm while the second cleaves a large portion of it from collarbone to sternum leaving nothing but a bloody mess. Gaetana siezing upon the advantage strikes true stabbing the vampire in the shoulder and with a sudden clarity that these things can be killed you aim dead center and run it clean thru, your blade piercing out its back.
With the last creature falling to the floor your heavy breathing is again all that can be heard at the moment.
Golwing asks "Is everyone alright?" looking over the rest of you.
Gaetana looks around to make sure there isn't any other creature about ready to pop out of the stone and when she's sure, she checks her locate spell to see if it is still connected to Flax's weapon.
"They were mere annoyances," Sulfas states as he looked around on edge until his rage ends.

Gruno drops one of his weapons as he senses the last creature die and whips out his hand, pulling the soul of the creature in at the last moment and creating another soul trinket in his palm. He tucks it away in his belt pouch with the other one and reaching down, he recovers his dropped blade and sheathes his weapons. "I'm ok, a few scratches, nothing more, nothing less. I'll survive." He gives a thankful nod to Gaetana for asking.

Anvil kneels down by the dead dwarf in front of him and opens its mouth. He looks at the fangs and turns the vampire's head from side to side, looking at its neck.
He then gets back up, dusting off his armor and looks around the room.
"The chances of our charges still being alive seem poor," Anvil says. "We have likely already failed in our job. However, as there may still be the remote possibility of success, and the potential of a working dwarven forge somewhere in these tunnels, which way now?"
Anvil then moves over to the tunnel with fallen debris and checks to see if there is anyway through it.

Anvil stares at the rock blocked passage way for a moment. Eventually his eyes click dull then bright again and he moves back to the main room, looking at the floor for any sign of the trail of blood.
Perception: 25
"Have any of you encountered vampires before?" Anvil asks then gestures at the two dead dwarves. "Will these have a master?"
Gruno looks over the corpses briefly before answering, "I have heard tales of vampires and vampire spawn before, but never encountered either. I don't know if these are the slaves or the masters or if such a bond even exists here."
"Well, I think this is the last time I'll get a lock on Flax's weapon and of course it is in a direction we can't go. So we came from the North, and our only options are South, let's go through the East one." And without waiting for an answer, she starts going that way.
Anvil draws a finger along the floor of the room and stares at the lack of any sign of blood for a moment before finally getting up and following after Gaetana.
Gaetana you open the door and enter into a room that is quite obviously a barracks of some kind, and one that has been used very recently. The smell of cooked mushrooms mingles unpleasantly with chamber pots. There is also a small cooking fire going in one corner casting dim light over the room.
You also see two armed figures standing towards the back of the room, One looks to human the other a half orc. They have swords drawn and stand ready to fight but hesitant. The Half orc is the first to speak up. "Who are you? his voice wavering a little bit "What business do you have in our masters territory?"

Gaetana You only have a few minutes left on your spell but you can still clearly feel the weapon to the northeast of your location.
Anvil looking at the tunnel it has been caved in for sometime and the recent quake has only piled it on.

Anvil doesn't follow Gaetana until he's determined if there's a blood trail or not and through which passage it goes (post #254 above).
Anvil, there doesnt seem to be any blood to be found in this room, looks like the trail ends at the entrance to this room.
Anvil draws a finger along the floor of the room and stares at the lack of any sign of blood for a moment before finally getting up and following after Gaetana.
