The vampire hisses and bares it’s fangs before the flat of Draskans axe smacks it upside its head. Knocking it unconscious for 4 Hours. Unless inflicted with radiant damage/ holy water or direct sunlight it will be fully healed by the time she comes round.

Satisfied with himself, Diomedes turns his mind to thinking about the name "emerald claw". It has been scratching at the corner of his artificial brain throughout the fight.

Friends, does the name Emeral Claw the vampire spoke of mean anything to you? We should pool our collective knowledge so as best to interrogate this fiend.
During the Last War, Karrnath was forced to embrace the practice of necromancy to bolster the ranks of its army. At the same time, a number of chivalric orders were founded by devoted worshipers of the Blood of Vol. These groups included necromancers and bone knights that were trained to raise and command the undead troops used during the war. The Order of the Emerald Claw was one of the most infamous of these groups, renowned for its fighting skills but often sanctioned for its brutal treatment of enemy soldiers. The Emerald Claw were also accused of slaughtering civilians so they could be raised as skeletons or zombies — behavior that was strictly forbidden by the Karrnath commanders.
When King Kaius III came to power near the end of the war, he turned against the Blood of Vol. The orders were disbanded, and many members of the Emerald Claw were condemned as war criminals. While the other orders complied with the king’s edict, many knights of the Emerald Claw refused to surrender. The order fragmented as its original members scattered, but a number of those rebellious knights started their own cells, rallying all who wanted to see Karrnath achieve its rightful glory. The order experienced a surge in membership following the Treaty of Thronehold because many Karrns thought that Kaius III had betrayed their nation by embracing peace.
Six years ago, shortly after Kaius’s accession, a figure known as Lady Illmarrow emerged as the leader of the Order of the Emerald Claw. Few of her followers know anything about her, other than her great skill as a necromancer; many members of the Order refer to her as Queen of the Dead.

After the short rest, Eoni gets up and makes her way over to the vampire, curious to know more. As she gets close, Eoni raises her hand and slaps the creature across the face hoping to wake it up.
Strange little creature you are aren’t you? Care to tell us who you are and exactly why you attacked my party?Eoni asks, in a slow, methodical way,If you don’t, I saw how much you enjoyed basking in radiant light earlier and it would be no trouble for either myself or my Tinman friend over there to shine some down on you...
The Vampire hisses as she comes around. Looking at her closely now you can see she was an elf once, before undeath took her, and she bares her fangs at your tone. She struggles against the bindings for a few seconds before realising the futility of her situation. Who I am matters not foolish skin shifter. The emerald claw takes everything of meaning from you and remoulds you into a form more useful to Lady Ilmarrow. You meddle in affairs beyond your understanding. Soon She will ascend and take her place as the God of Death and once she does Argonnessen and Aerenal shall fall under a black sun. If Khorvaire’s petty kings won’t bend the knee in servitude after that then they shall suffer the same fate as the elves and dragons
You’re in the way. Lhazaar hid an artefact here that Lady Ilmarrow wants. There’s no other reason for you to be here other than to get the same thing so we were ordered to remove you from the playing field
Well how about you tell us and then we kill you? Eoni says through gritted teeth, Either way you’re gonna die, why not let it be a painless death ...your choice.
Draskan again swings his axe at the vampire, intending any wound inflicted will render it unconscious
Attack: 21 Damage: 6
With a surge, Draskan swings again
Attack: 19 Damage: 7

Excellent precision work friend Draskan. As my master always said, it makes things much easier when they're unconscious.
Speaking of, shall we tie the fiend up? It has some questions to be answering.
He starts to work, but more than happy to back off and instead assist his more nimble-fingered friends.

Using the rope in his pack Diomedes makes short work of securely tying the vampire spawn up. (If they try to wriggle out it is now a DC of 20)

Well that's all very well and good for her, but what does she want with us? We were just minding our own business here.
You’re in the way. Lhazaar hid an artefact here that Lady Ilmarrow wants. There’s no other reason for you to be here other than to get the same thing so we were ordered to remove you from the playing field
What is this artefact? Why is it so important to her?
You mean you don’t know?! Hahahahaha typical.....If I tell you and the Lord of Bones finds out I’ll suffer a fate worse than annihilation so no deal
Well how about you tell us and then we kill you? Eoni says through gritted teeth, Either way you’re gonna die, why not let it be a painless death ...your choice.
I’m a vampire darling it’s going to be painful either way, but if you promise to leave me out for the sun I’ll let you know.
Deal! Eoni says excitedly.
