Sheshka sighs and sinks her ax into a nearby tree, leaving it there while she works. "Pft...aye aye. Probably best to not be traipsing around an accursed jungle in the black of night anyway." She answers in a morose sort of tone. Eventually, though, her tent is set up and ready to go! Once completed, she retrieves her trusty ax.
OOC: Does Sheshka get a perception check, too? I'll post one just in case
Cora’s smile faded as Lilly signed that someone was watching. Pretending to work on the camp, she lied and said out loud, “I’m going to get the other hammer. I’ll be right back.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

This is already part of long rest, if you are currently doing light activity, Lilynth might also told the rest of you who isn't sleep yet via sign or whatseover. So if you are still wake up, no roll required, you also know that Lilynth spot someone.
Alright I'll make a perception roll contesting Cora's stealth of 11: Lurker's perception 11.
Alright Cora the person seemed to be too focused to notice that you are sneaking upon him. As you get closer, you notice sitting behind nearby trees and rock is an messy-looking old male vampire. He wears what looks like a dirty, tattered priestly garb of the Empire of the Dusk. It is similar to Lilynth priest outfit, but despite it already ruined, you can still notice that it is has more ornament. He's holding a wooden staff. His expression is stoic.
I pull out one of my blades and touch the tip of it to the vampire's cheek.
"Hi, there." She says casually, "Normally, at this point of the evening, I'd be having amazing sex with my ex girlfriend, but she noticed you peepin' on us. Seeing as how her noticing you interrupted my fun time, you have about 4 seconds to tell me who you are and what the HELLS are you doing before I fillet your face."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The sound of Cora's voice--harsher and more threatening than usual--draws Zolin from his tent. The barbarian doubts that this vampire's intentions are benign.
As Zolin reach for Cora and the lurking vampire, he tries to look and hear at the vampire's words and action carefully. From what you see from his expression and appearance, this man doesn't seem like he's in a right state of mind - little crazy even.
Well that was unexpected. Alright, i'll bite. (Get it? khkhkh!)
"A travel companion, eh?" Cora muses, "What are your qualifications and why should we tag you along? I have my HANDS full with one vampire already, and she's a feisty little *****."
“Damn right I am,” Lilyth pips up, having gotten up from the fire, standing in front of the vampire and Cora with her hands at her hips. “Now, what’s this about tagging along?” Her eyes flare crimson. “And you better not lie to me.” She says in Vampiric.
((Ooc: I would like to roll intimidation but since Cora has him with a dagger at the cheek/throat would it be possible to roll with advantage or no?))

(Yeah given the condition you dont need to make a roll actually to intimidate him. Feel free to question his honesty though, which requires insight check)
==DM==
As you, Lilynth, come closer, you actually know this man despite his ragged condition. He is Mavren Fein, a high-ranking priest of The Empire of Dusk. Before you were thrown in the jail, you heard that his ship didn't survive the journey to Ixalan and his body nowhere to be found.
He replies with a heavy, tired voice "I am.....an able spellcaster. And more importantly, you were seeking....the temple of bat demon. Isn't that right? I know....the way"
Cora’s eyes narrow, she pushes her blade a bit harder on his cheek. “Hmmm. Tempting. I dont trust spellcasters and magic. What do you think, Lilly? Is what he’s saying legit..?”
Lilyth squints, trying to seeing if maybe her eyes were playing with her. “No—“ Lilyth starts, but stops, eyeing him closely. “I know him.”
She puts her hand up in a way to tell Cora to ease up on the pressure, maybe lower the blade to his neck if anything. “Mavren? Mavren Fein? They said you died in that ship crash. What happened?”

"Ah, nice to meet you, child of the Dusk. Rarely I see one of our own mingle so closely with....outside factions. A friendly one, aren't you?"
"For your question...yes...such an unfortunate turn of event. We were...so close to land in Ixalan....when the horrendous storm comes...."
"Fortunately, child, Prophet Arguel, praise him, is always with us...."
"It was when I am stranded that....Arguel's words comes into my ear and my mind. Guided me into safety...away from pirates....from beasts...into the sacred relic, The Hierophant's Chalice..."
"Yeah, I do," Lilyth answers Cora, just before the priest starts speaking, the vampire listening to his words closely and waits for him to finish before she answers him.
"I'm here with these folk due to some unfortunate circumstances," She admits. "No matter; what is this chalice that you speak of? And why are you stalking around our camp? That, in itself, is not helping your claim in wishing to help us in our journey."

"Euucchh, did you understand any of that?" Cora says to Lilly, then turns back to Mavren. "But, yes." Cora says, tapping the tip of her blade on the vampire's head a few times. "You could have just come up to us. What, do we look dangerous to you?" she snorts in a quick muffled laugh.
"This chalice, child, is one prophesied in our legends....one which long lost since our Empire first stand on its two, gallant feet"
"The Hierophant Chalice, or maybe you know it by its other name: The Chalice of Endless Blood"
"This Chalice will....free us....from our weakness, while maintaining and even heightens our power"
His eyes moves toward Cora's direction.
"I'm simply looking for....allies. This part of the jungle is dark even during the day, and in dark many horrors lurk here. I simply cannot proceed on my own, despite knowing the direction Arguel bless me"

Perception: 20
Cora’s smile faded as Lilly signed that someone was watching. Pretending to work on the camp, she lied and said out loud, “I’m going to get the other hammer. I’ll be right back.”
I’ll try and sneak up on it.
Stealth: 11
Averagely.
Shit..
(Not sure if a check for Zolin is needed considering what's transpired with Cora and Lilyth, but here it is nonetheless. Perception: 21

She waits a moment and starts counting.
"One.."
"Two.."
OOC: Four!
Ooc: holy crap. Lol

Without turning, the messy vampire priest drops his staff and raises both hands. He speaks without turning to Cora.
"Good evening, don't hear you coming, perhaps your group are looking for travel companion?"
The sound of Cora's voice--harsher and more threatening than usual--draws Zolin from his tent. The barbarian doubts that this vampire's intentions are benign.

Cora lowers her blade but keeps it close.
”You know him?” she asks, curious. She trusted Lilly, so if she knew this man, he might be someone of possible importance.
