Bloodied and furious, the Skellegue rage boils forth and Sabian stops Iorghu's advance and presses the attack, stabbing out with his spear, Your sin was hubris that you could live with this curse!

Let's leave the monastery now, while the brothers sleep."

"Or... We could pretend it never happened, barricade ourselves in a room to sleep, then leave at first light. But if they find this corpse, they're likely to set up a trap for us, or straight up attack us during the night. What shall we do?"

Iorghu almost turned you into a werewolf Titus. We can grieve them when we're gone from this place, but until then... they are monsters, and we are monster killers. As Chloe is cleaning the area, Sabian grabs Iorghu's corpse and begins to drag it toward the other corpses, Let's move him under the others so that their odor masks the fresh kill. We are low on resources, but need to find Dracula's skull before we leave here. Maybe the other monks are still secluded knowing that Iorghu is leading us through the place?

Mustafa nodded, convincing himself that those monks never gave them another option... Right? "Titus, you say we must sleep before we act. Sabian, you say we should act before we sleep." He scratched his thin beard, thoughtful. "Hear me on this: Come the morning, the monks ought to realize something happened, because brother Iorghu will be gone and we will have retreated to a defensible position to rest. We'll have to fight our way out."

[COLOR="#4B0082"]"We can either find a defensible position and get ready for a bloody battle on the morrow, or take them by surprise and go looking for the skull now. We can't hope to take them by surprise tomorrow... If we go to bed, they'll find Iorghu and there will be violence. My opinion is that we act now - without silver weapons, I doubt we'll survive an open battle. Not without being bitten."[COLOR]

"I need at least an hour to get a bit of power back.

"Agreed, and more: Even if they don't realize Brother Iorghu is dead, why would we need a silver blade in a monastery full of weremonks? We already have powerful weapons, the Vampire Killer itself. They will assume, correctly so, that we plan use it on them."

"And if they do realize Brother Iorghu is gone, I'm afraid they will immediately blame us. And if they have divinatory magic..." Mustafa shuddered. "Well, no need to dwell on more ifs and maybes."

Meanwhile, Titus looked closely at the silver sword. He called Cloé over: "Can you tell me, if the sword is magical as well as made of silver? It might be worth it for me to bind - a magical silver blade could be of great help against Dracula's minions. Though I'd like to avoid binding a cursed weapon."


To Mustafa he said: "Where else if not a place full of werewolf would you want a silver blade? I can store it in heaven while I'm not needing it and call it with a thought to my side."

"Where else if not a place full of werewolf would you want a silver blade? I can store it in heaven while I'm not needing it and call it with a thought to my side."

"Pray, the blade is invaluable... But I fear them wolves will turn hostile as soon as they see us wielding silver. It's the only thing that can harm them, and suddenly we're waving it around the halls of their monastery? It will come to violence - which is inevitable, I agree, but timing is crucial. We need to optimize this small window of time that we have to wander freely around the monastery without them knowing we killed Brother Iorghu. Carrying a silver blade would spoil that advantage."

"Assuming we take the silver blade now and conceal it, could we place an illusion here, making it look like we never touched it? This way we can still explore the monastery and search for the scroll discreetly. Who knows, with the power of that rings, they might even agree to lead us there."
