"For **** sake." Sizan muttered as he goes over to start dragging Doru back down the stairs, double timing ([action]Dash[/action) if necessary to place him back on the basement floor. "There. /Now/ stake him. Though knowing our misfortune, this place--"he glances around. "Will not count as his 'resting' place. And if not, sever and bag the head." He states aloud, though mutters under breath. "Ridiculous. Spawns aren't... No... Must be his doing.."

Sizan visibly frowns and shakes his head. "Perhaps if it was older one." He says before turning to start heading back up the stairs. "... Though you may not care for further input from me, one of you should still behead the subject, and bag it for disposal river... As a precaution." On that note, he tries to carry on the rest of the way with the intentions of informing the good priest of the work being done.

"No ... fool," the fighter says, getting to his feet. "Don't they turn to dust or something? Maybe they don't do that here in nightmare land." He looks at Artus and Andrei. "One of you sever the head," he says quietly to keep his voice from carrying, his eyes quickly darting toward Sizan. He looks at Andrei more carefully. "How are you feeling?" Reggie turns his head and peers at the puncture marks on Andrei's neck.
Sizan cringes and freezes in place. But after a moment's hesitation, he'll wordlessly follow through with his original plan, forgoing retrieving his dagger in the process.

Reggie shrugs and picks up the head by the hair. What a mess. "We need a bucket. See if the father has a bucket." He looks up the stairs. "I'll wait down here with the head until we know if he has a bucket. I don't think he should see his son like this, even if he is a vampire."
Andrei nods, hustling back upstairs. When he sees Father Donavich, he raises a bloody hand in greeting, then glances at it and puts it awkwardly at his side.
"Uh, Father Donavich. Do you have a bucket we could borrow?"
As Andrei runs upstairs to grab a bucket, Sizan is talking to Father Donavich about what happened down below and Donavich looks visibly upset about the ordeal but is taking it in stride, knowing it had to be done. When you ask about a bucket he points you to one of the rooms and you find what you need a grab plop the head in the bucket before everyone going upstairs.
As you make your way over to the priest and Sizan you hear wolves howling outside the temple. They seem to be very close by.
"Thank you for taking care of that creature who used to be my son. I am in your debt. Tomorrow morning after the ceremony you should get Ismark and Irenna as far away from here as possible. Strahd will not like it but she cannot stay here any longer. It is a danger to us all." Father Donavich says.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Reggie stays toward the front of the temple, not wanting to chance Father Donavich catching a glimpse of his son's head in the bucket. When he hears the wolves, he sticks his head out the front door to see if he sees anything.
As Reggie sticks his head out of the door you see Strahd standing in the middle of the street not too far away from the church. He is dressed in dark clothing with a blood red colored cape, a rapier hanging from his hip. His face is pale and he is stroking the head of a wolf. At the feet of the wolf is a small child whimpering but laying very still. A few feet behind Strahd and his big wolf you notice four other wolves howling.
Sizan would have a hand on the man's shoulder (if he permitted) and solemnly nods in agreement. Even if he hears the wolves as well, he won't break eye contact on the father, but keep an ear out all the same. "Have a care too, father, for your trials have only begun. But by the light I see rekindled, you shall prevail in... your own way."Sizan gives the slightest of grins, and even then it seems a little forced an awkward.
He looks to the others next. Upon seeing at least Reggie already at the door he moves to join him, yet stood apart as always. If he can peek out as well without being seen, he will do so. Otherwise, he will try to calmly step just outside the doors with his hands folded neatly behind him, and took a proper look at the visitor. "... Lord Strahd von... Mmn.. Do forgive me. I mean no slight. But thus far, the people hear have been reticent to speak your name. Though you already know this, I suppose." He expresses calmly, and without once ever seeming to take note of the child. "Ah! That was rude of me." He clears his throat, and then goes into an elegant bow. But he never takes his eyes off the man. "Sizan Sidrosin. Humble visitor." If given the chance, he looks to the wolf at the man's side and adds, "Out for a stroll, I take it?"

Reggie picks up one of the wooden stakes and jams it into Doru's chest.
As Reggie jams the wooden stake into Doru's heart his body jerks a little from the force of the blow but otherwise nothing happens.

Looking at the vampire, Reggie waits and then looks up at the others. "Is that it? I expected something more ... exciting."
Sizan visibly frowns and shakes his head. "Perhaps if it was older one." He says before turning to start heading back up the stairs. "...

Andrei shrugs.
"I'm not drained all the way, so I won't be a vampire anytime soon, I hope." He glances at his ice ax, then at Artus' greataxe.
"That's going to be much better for the job."
For reference, here's basically what Andrei's ice ax is shaped like:
And that's all I have to say about that.

Reggie retrieves the second stake, putting it in his pack, and his swords. He then walks back over to look down at the body.
"Stand back Reggie." Once Reggie moves away, "Rest now Doru, you have suffered enough"

Andrei shrugs.
"He'll keep healing unless we can put him in his grave. Not sure he has one, though. But cut off his head," he tells Artus.
"Maybe we can bury it somewhere. Keep him trapped until we have something better to do with him."
And that's all I have to say about that.
Artus swings his axe and beheads Doru. "Reggie, you get to carry it... I dont need a head bleeding all over my stuff." Artus will head upstairs after.

Lando grimaces and looks away as Artus beheads the vampire.
"Welllll, this is awkward, I guess we should head up and talk to Donavich"
Reggie shrugs and picks up the head by the hair. What a mess. "We need a bucket. See if the father has a bucket." He looks up the stairs. "I'll wait down here with the head until we know if he has a bucket. I don't think he should see his son like this, even if he is a vampire."
