Wrath of the Righteous - Sword of Valor IC

[NeoSeraphi]

Arios sighs and cleans his blade off. He looks around the torture room for any hidden doors or treasure.

There are no secret passages or treasures in this room. However, there are two doorways to the south and one room each on the east and west sides of the torture chamber.

[NeoSeraphi]

Arios sighs and heads to the west. Seems like he still has a lot to explore down here.

[Diachronos]

Through the doorway is a small chamber that looks like it's designed for torturing individual prisoners. It's currently unoccupied.

[NeoSeraphi]

Arios searches the room a little more carefully before returning to the previous room and heading through the east room.

There's nothing of value or interest in the west room.

The east room is a different story, however. It looks like a study, with well-stocked bookshelves lining the walls and a plush carpet on the floor. Standing in the center of the room, over a dead crusader, is a gaunt half-orc holding a wicked-looking dagger.

[NeoSeraphi]

Arios frowns and tries to determine if the creature is truly a half-orc.

[NeoSeraphi]

Arios leaps back. "This is bad! Voren, do we have any silver weapons?"

[Diachronos]

"I've got some silversheen, but that's it." He takes out a glass vial and throws it at the vampire.

The vampire howls as it dissolves into mist. The vapor starts to float away, toward the east side of the room.

The mist dissipates slightly before going through the wall.

Arios charges at the wall and slams his shoulder into it in frustration.

There's a slight give in the wall, but not enough for him to get through. Rachel and Nissa both approach, taking a look at the wall.

Nissa puts her hand on the wall. "It's a secret door." She tries the hidden latch at the bottom of the wall, but it doesn't budge.

[NeoSeraphi]

Arios nods. "Okay. Voren, can you unlock the door?"

[Diachronos]

"I think we've got bigger problems to worry about right now." He steps into the doorway, still facing the previous room, and throws his starknife.

"Oh riiiiight, what were you pointing at before, Rachel?" Arios asks.

[Diachronos]

"I didn't see them, but I heard them down one of the other hallways."

Voren retreats into the room. "Alright, you know what? I don't have anything effective against them. You three can deal with the vampire spawn, I'll get the door."

[NeoSeraphi]

Arios nods and quickly moves to guard the door.
