Vlad
"Pure coincidence, I'm sure." Vlad said dryly, "I'll call us some allies to find out what happened around here." As he speaks, the shadows solidify around him, taking shape into humanoid forms. The shadows gather more and more into these forms, gaining volume and color, until they became a group of what looked to be short, stocky, silver-haired elves wielding glowing scimitars. A moment later, another group of these creatures appeared out of the shadows as well. "Go!" Vlad directed, "Search this city until you find a living being or some sign that may indicate what happened, then return to me." The creatures nodded, and took to the air like whirlwinds.
