Tyek follows Khessa into the room. As she attacks, he enters a rage and grows to Huge size. He charges toward the two "nobles." Anyone willing to live in this keep is definitely an enemy to be crushed!
Movement: Close to melee with at least one of the two nobles. Tyek has a 15-ft reach while raging, and at huge size, he may be able to reach them even without climbing the dais. Bonus Action: rage, imbuing Annam's Greataxe as his Elemental Cleaver with thunder damage Action: Two Reckless Attacks with Annam's Greataxe as his Elemental Cleaver (thunder) Attack 1: 30, Damage: 25 (magical thunder) + 22 (force) = 47 (total) Attack 2: 36, Damage: 25 (magical thunder) + 25 (force) = 50 (total)
Because of Reckless Attack, all attacks against Tyek have advantage until the start of his next turn.
As Khessa enters the room, Vrox switches to his Dragon's Wrath Longbow. He stands just inside the door, but as far from the coffins as he can. He worries that they additional enemies may leap from the coffins at any moment. When Khessa and Tyek attack, he first one arrow at each of the "nobles" and then tries to hide among the coffins.
Movement: Move into the room, and then after firing two arrows, move to hide among the coffins. Action: Two attacks with Dragon's Wrath Longbow (150/600) Attack 1 against noble #1: 27 Damage: 11 (magical piercing) + 10 (radiant) + 5 (psychic) = 26 (total) Attack 2 against noble #2: 20 Damage: 10 (magical piercing) + 4 (radiant) + 6 (psychic) = 20 (total) Bonus Action: Hide - Stealth34 (using Vanish feature, with advantage from Shadowfell Brand Tattoo)

With the two great swings, the Vampire is dispatched and falls to the floor.

Both of your attacks land true, badly wounding the other Vampire
With your swing, the other vampire falls. As its body hits the floor, you hear a growl as a creature burst from one of the southwest coffin, a koptourok.
Between Yoht and Sparhawk's attack, and the arrows and bolts from Robert and Maynard, the creature falls to the ground. There is no other movement in the room. Then you hear a knocking from inside one of the coffins, and a voice asking "Hello, I heard the fighting, is it safe out there?"

Vrox draws his bow, ready to attack in case it's a trick and something attacks.
Tyekanik moves close to the coffins and leans down to determine where the voice is coming from. Perception26
Tyek looks back at the group before opening the coffin to make sure that they're ready. If no one objects, he says, "It's safe out here..." Then, he yanks open the coffin where he thinks he heard the voice, saying, "...for enemies of Count Glauer." He's ready to attack whatever comes out if it looks like another fiend or undead creature.
The lid of the coffin opens slowly, and a human female sticks her head out, and when she sees the party, fully steps out into view with a great sigh of relief. She is wearing armor that appears to be slightly battered.
"Thank the gods you're not one of them!" she says, pointing at the dead vampires. "My name is Zendra, my partner and I were hired to deal with the count and his minions, but we underestimated his power here. When we were confronted in the other room, my partner and I were separated, and I ran into here and hid inside this coffin. Then those two Vampires showed up and I couldn't escape. Have you happened to see my partner; his name is Ravlen?"
You recall how when you arrived, the Hag told you about a human warrior who entered the fortress alone and they’re probably in need of rescue.
'We've met practically only undead here...' Khessa recalls 'So there's no good hope, for this poor Ravlen fellow...'
The blonde arcane warrior tries to encourage Zendra anyway: "Nice to meet you, Zendra! I'm Khessa, Khessa Cabbagefield! We haven't met anyone who told us their name was that yet... but since we're finishing the 'cleaning' of this place, you might as well come with us. You'll be safer and if you see Ravlen you'll be able to recognize him!"
The tall adventuress, for the sake of thoroughness, also examines the remaining coffins (especially since she intends to destroy them anyway, to prevent the recently defeated vampires from resting inside and regenerating).
Tyekanik grunts and steps back so that Zendra can get out of the coffin, and Khessa can greet here. But he keeps a careful watch, ready to strike her down if she proves to be another vampire or something.
Vrox relaxes his bow and greets Zendra. He'll talk with her briefly while the others start to investigate the rest of this room, saying, "You tell quite a strange story, Zendra, but -- then again -- Count Glauer's keep is a rather strange place!" He asks a few friendly questions, as though showing casual interest in her tale, such as "How long were you hiding in that coffin?" "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" "What sort of person is your partner? Man or fey? Warrior or sorcerer?"
Vrox really just wants to get Zendra talking a bit more so that he can tell whether there are any holes in her story and whether she's telling them the truth. He really doesn't want to let her accompany them only to have her betray them in the middle of their next fight. Vrox - Insight: 27

She can't recall how long she had been hiding, but when you offered food, she found she was hungry. She thankfully accepts any food you provide. "My partner is a human warrior, mercenary like myself. We were hired to remove the count, but we were set upon in the main room out there and we were separated."

The tall adventuress, for the sake of thoroughness, also examines the remaining coffins (especially since she intends to destroy them anyway, to prevent the recently defeated vampires from resting inside and regenerating).
As you examine then destroy the coffins, one of them you find is actually an entrance that has stairs leading down.
"Oh, I knew it..." Khessa smiles "The uncontrolled destruction of things that shouldn't exist always bears good fruit... We've found a new way! Maybe this way we'll find the poor missing Ravlen again!"
The blonde arcane warrior, as per the already widely consolidated pattern, exchanges a look with the two usual scouts of the group... If they come forward, she lets them scout ahead. Otherwise, she sends Anator...
Whoever scouts ahead, however, the tall adventuress follows after leaving a certain distance, so that she can intervene in case of problems.

Since Zendra does not strike Vrox as duplicitous, he will be happy to scout ahead.
Vrox switches to his magicitem]Sentinel Shield;shield[/magicitem] and Elven sword before he leads the way down the stairs, moving quietly as the magical tattoo seems to wrap the shadows around him. Stealth31, advantage from Shadowfell Brand Tattoo Perception30, advantage from Sentinel Shield
[[OOC: Do the stairs lead to a chamber or a tunnel? And if it's a tunnel, which way does it lead relative to the rest of the keep? Toward the room where we already defeated Count Glauer?]]
If the stairs end at a passageway that stretches beyond the reach of his Darkvision, Vrox will head down the tunnel. But before he leaves the foot of the stairs, he sends a Message up to Khessa to tell her that it's a tunnel and that she can follow.

With your swing, the other vampire falls. As its body hits the floor, you hear a growl as a creature burst from one of the southwest coffin, a koptourok.
Yoht attacks the Koptourak: attack 28, damage 11, attack 32 (crit), damage 22
Sparhawk attacks the creature: attack 16, damage 14, attack 32, damage 15

Maynard attacks the creature: attack 31, damage 8, attack 28, damage 9
Between Yoht and Sparhawk's attack, and the arrows and bolts from Robert and Maynard, the creature falls to the ground. There is no other movement in the room. Then you hear a knocking from inside one of the coffins, and a voice asking "Hello, I heard the fighting, is it safe out there?"
Vrox is glad that the other creature falls. Does he even know what a koptourok is?
