    Valente has the benefit of vampirism, so he has little trouble as well. Whoo! Go team evil!

    ...Wait a minute.

    Anyway. The window appears to be shut and locked from the inside. The vampire tries to get his fingers under it to force it open. A moment of struggling and a shift to clawed hands later, and it's open. There's the sound of someone saying something and moving toward the window from within. Move fast!

    Two people scaling the wall and breaking in? Well, that's unusual. Best keep an eye on them. Probably just Valente trying to sneak in a mistress without his girlfriend finding out, but best keep an eye out on them anyway; might be that Valente's gone rogue and his partner is a catburgler Valente's helping.

    Ilpholin pauses in her climbing, just outside the windowsill. Based on the sound of someone approaching, she goes to sling her whip in, wrap it around the likely guard and pull him or her out to let them fall to the ground below. They're vampires and it's the second floor. They can take it.

    Regardless of success, Ilpholin then goes to swing herself in through the window.

    The vampire is grabbed and pulled to the window, but not right out. He's partially out, but has braced one arm on the frame. He's wearing a suit of Evolution Industries light armour. Black and red with a face concealing helmet. With his free hand he's fumbling for his blaster pistol.

    Meanwhile, a few people have been notified of the break in, including Mouse.

    Blech. Competence! She doesn't want to get into some sort of extended tug-of-war at throwing him out the window as it's liable to cause her to fall if something goes wrong.

    She just goes for the swinging through the window feet first, using the guard's helmeted face as a medium.

    Mouse sighs when her earpiece gives a double beep, and she pulls out a small laser pistol. She couldn't care less about the place in all actuality since this was just another job for her to do. Even so, she had to keep up appearances. With a scowl on her face, she begins heading to the area of the break-in.

    Ilpholin manages to slip through the window past the vampire, partially because Valente has taken this opportunity to grab the man's arm and tug at him.

    Inside she will see Rot's paralyzed form in the middle of the room, a broken off harpoon through his chest that has been reinforced so it won't come out easily.

    Oh, and the door is opening right now, another person in the same armour, blaster rifle raised.

    Ilpholin darts forward and to the side, ducking to try to avoid any initial shots and shooting out her whip to knock the weapon from their hands. She intends to reach Rot and pull out the harpoon with one hand! That obviously won't work, but she doesn't know that quite yet. After she tries the first time, definitely.

    Mouse turns the hallway corner and sees the guard, and likely anything that happens to him. She'll pick up the pace a bit, adjusting a few of her rings as she gets closer, as quietly as possible.

    The harpoon indeed doesn't come out, but hey, she managed to avoid the first couple shots. Her whip doesn't knock the weapon away, but it does knock it aside.

    Meanwhile, the vampire behind her does tumbling out the window, Valente going with him. A screeching of bats is soon heard.

    Crazy bats!

    Ilpholin tugs once more before realizing it's going to be a lot harder than she hoped. She cracks her whip out once at the guard's face to try and push him back, but this is little more than a swift distracting maneuver rather than an attack, as she cracks the whip again to wrap it tight around the harpoon shaft. Leaving it as is, she goes to pick him up bodily and use him as a shield while she works herself and Rot backwards to the window, letting out a sharp whistle as she does so.

    Off where Squiggle is, he starts making his way down from the rooftop his on and towards the manor.

    Mouse curses when she hears the crack of the whip and shoves the guard out of her way to catch a glimpse of what's in the room. "Rot???" She exclaims before cursing again and turning slightly to get out of the doorway. She saw what Ilpholin was about to do and knows there's little she could do to stop it. Instead, she takes a quick moment to flick her left hand to the side, causing a small pistol to pop out of her sleeve and into her hand.

    Rico doesn't know why Valente is trying to help rescue Rot, but it doesn't matter. The little brat is going to have to die for this. He flies back up to the window, turns human again, facing inside, and if Valente bat is nearby, will kick or swat at him. His primary goal though is to keep Rot and the intruder inside the room. Valente can be dealt with later.

    A combination of the whip and Mouse get the guard out of the way for the moment. "We can't let him get away!" The guard, a woman, shouts. She steps into the room, moving to the side so Mouse can get in as well. Blaster rounds fly, low as to not shoot out the window, but the target is likely the less covered legs anyway.

    Meanwhile, Valente does go after Rico, but gets swatted away just before transforming. He plummets like a rock, but he's persistent enough to not give up.

    Magtok smirks, hoping to catch Lavthos in exactly the same sort of psychological trap that'd been aimed at the cyborg.

    Well the guard showing back up in the window killed Ilpholin's initial plan of using gravity to solve her problems. Drats. Time for plan B. Sticking around in this closed room is not a preferred option. She whirls and runs with the Rot shield, aiming to throw herself and Rot bodily through the window. Particularly through Rico. She's got some momentum and weight behind this, and I can't imagine Rico has a great place to balance on that sill. Only a few inches and off you go! On the other hand, she doesn't have super strength and is pouring all her energy into just moving this stupid thing. So it could go either way.

    The guard firing at her fortunately was distracted AND pushed out of the way, so her shots get in late and only get to barely graze Ilpholin's legs. Not enough to stop the current battering ram out the window plan.

    Mister Squiggles will get into range next post. A giant spider isn't the fastest of critters.

    Mouse spins back into the doorway, moving forward as she does so, firing a round at Ilpholin's center mass as she runs after her. If she makes it out the window, Mouse grabs a small pad attached to the back of her belt and slaps it on the wall next to the window before taking a dive right after her, a small cable anchoring her to the sticky pad.

    Rico sees a crazy drow racing towards him with a paralyzed Rot as a battering ram.

    There is absolutely no way he's going to be able to keep them inside. So instead, he transforms into a bat and tries to cling to Rot as they all go tumbling down.

    The as of yet unidentified vampire is right behind mouse. She throws herself out the window without any thought for her own safety. Of course, just before hitting the ground she smoke forms.

    Valente, meanwhile, has recovered. He's already moving to Ilpholin's side, his hands twisted into claws. He doesn't know what's going on exactly anymore, but he needs to protect Ilpholin.

    One person throws their self out a window and suddenly everyone has to too!

    Speaking of Ilpholin's side, she just got shot there, much to her chagrin. At least she managed to land on Rot's sorry corpse when she landed, keeping her falling injuries limited to bruising. She scrambles to her feet and grabs her whip, still tangled around the stake, hurrying towards Squiggles' position, with a limp, her free hand holding her side.

    Squiggles, for his part, shoots a web shot at Mouse as he skitters along.

    Then, I pause for ShadowCaller.

    The vampire drums his claw-like fingers against the floor for a moment after Magtok's reply, "Of course not." He finally says. "I was in fact just about to suggest that instead of feeling threatened by you, I should attempt to cooperate. If you can't beat'em, join'em so to speak and I'm worried you are in contact with the wrong people of this area. Tenebras is hardly trust worthy. They lied you right up in the face about Rot for instance and they have more shady deals then you can count, tried to burn down a woman's house for instance." He explains.

    "It won't take that much of an effort to turn Pulse into a casino, especially not with your help. And if it fails, I take the fall."

    [Outside Exbourne Manor]

    Now that was the dramatic exit Cybil had been waiting for.

    It was time to act. She quickly scrambles down the ladder and leaps the last distance. She felt herself growing weaker in the air but then lands the very next moment. Nothing she needed to concern herself about.

    She shifts into her vampire form which resmebles a gigantic worm, leaving her clothes in the alley.
    She then digs through the stone which closes after her and starts to track Ilpholine's movements while she moves towards her underneath the earth, feeling the tiny vibrations of the drow's footsteps above her.

    Now she just needed to get her before everyone else.

    "You have to excuse my brusque entrance but I did not expect another to hold into such customs around here. It would appear I have fallen victim to the uncultivated environment I have surrounded myself with.

    "I did not come gift less however." Lavthos takes out a black gemstone cut into a marquise which he offers to Genesis. "It's not much but it contains a few memories from my homeworld which you may find interesting."

    She looks around with a smirk, then picks a direction to start out in...as she does indeed have 'pressing needs'.


    [Wellspring Tower - Throne of Rings]

    The offered gem folds away into the air, twisting into emptiness. "Your gift is accepted, Lord Lavthos. I find myself without something prepared to offer in return, unfortunately. Yet, perhaps that is for the better- presenting you with a trinket with neither meaning or significance attached to it would not suit me. Never fear, when the opportunity presents itself, I will repay you in kind.
    "Or perhaps there is a boon you seek already? Lord Lavthos, what greater design brings you to my throne?"


    Genesis's unspoken words drift around them, the focus of narrative shifting slowly about the pair in front of her throne. "What matter of import is such that your trusted servant cannot bear it? in your stead Is your situation so dire? Or is there a stranger pattern that demands your presence?"


    [Wellspring Tower - Lounge]

    Naethalee may run into (perhaps even literally) Hilda, who is currently entering the lounge. Looks like she may have been outside exercising, which is a regular occurrence by now- she's put back on a lot of the muscle and weight that she lost in her homeless days. Still a little light, perhaps, but in decent shape. Her left arm is entirely drained of color, with twisting dark blue patterns whirling like celtic knots across its surface. It is a strangely smooth limb, and perhaps a bit heavier and more muscled than her right arm.

    The handler raises an eyebrow at Naethalee's current state. "Don't know about you, but I dress before I head out." She remarks, half serious. "I'm not sure even Genesis would want someone running around in her tower unclothed- but I dunno, she is a bit strange."

    Magtok raises an eyebrow. He was aware that they were probably lying about Rot to Gordon, but this woman's house business is something new entirely. "Tell me more about the arson and lies first, and then we'll talk about upgrading your club."

    "Certainly. They send a recruited vigilante named Irena and that dark skinned vampire Durin to investigate a woman named Serafina due a large amount of undead activity around her manor. Things didn't go as planned and they decided to burn down down the manor with her and all her servants still inside since she attempted to capture Durin. Thankfully they were stopped before they could burn the manor down though." Lavthos explains calmly.

    "I don't think they will give you the same version of the story if you ask though. As with Rot it's one of their little dirty secrets. Instead, if you really want to know more I suggest you go and talk to Serafina herself. I could write down the address if you like."

    [Wellspring Tower - Throne of Rings]

    The memories of the gem can be accessed any time Genesis so desire.

    "A boon? I seek no such things Lady Genesis." Lavthos replies with a gesture. "Is it so strange that I would like to finally meet the her ladyship after all I the great things I have heard about her? I can't be the first one can I? I just wanted to speak with you, about Riverside and your plans for it."

    Mouse curses once again as she sees the webbing shot at her and raises her right fist, squeezing her middle finger tight to activate the one-shot digi-ring on it. A gout of flame erupts from it, intercepting the webbing and burning it. Mouse's body gives a jerk right before she hits the ground, her anchor slowing her fall before snapping, making her land in a roll. "Stop or die!" She shouts after she rolls to her feet.

    Rico returns to human form, sprawled on top of the Rotsicle. He'd probably be out of breath if vampires breathed. Being immune from that particular problem, his first priority is to check the stake. It's obviously still in place, or he'd have a Rot trying to eat him, but has it been knocked loose?

    He sees the whip wrapped around the harpoon stake and curses, slamming his armoured hand down onto the stake, and his torso down over his hand, to try and hold it in place with vampiric strength and his own body weight, while the other hand tries to draw his knife to cut the whip. He won't get the knife out this post though.

    Things aren't adding up. Why didn't Ilpholin just kill Rot? Why is the spider here? What's going on? Valente is paralyzed by indecision. Probably standing somewhere in between the Rotsicle and Ilpholin, and off to the side a bit.

    Meanwhile, the poor woman still lacking a name returns to her humanoid form. Maneuvers like that can be disorienting, but she manages to get a shot off at Ilpholin. The legs again. Capturing her alive would be best.

    "You'll do that for me? Thank you." Magtok sounds genuinely grateful, oddly enough. Probably the first honest thing to pass his lips this entire visit. He's almost certain this Serafina lady is going to turn out to be completely out of her mind and that the vampire family was entirely justified in whatever they did, but at the same time, it still wouldn't hurt to pretend to take her side, would it? A woman with an undead army sounds like a woman capable of accomplishing things, and so long as he makes sure not to get involved in her fight with the Tenebras clan, he's almost certain there's something he could get out of that, even if it's just a few extra reinforcements, on the off-chance Riverside's MagMart is ever attacked.
