Van and Dan "Baby, no!" Van screams out, and gingerly caresses the flattened tire made out of the lamentations of the Hell-roasting souls of child murderers or something. "You're gonna be okay, we'll get you fixed up in no time.." Little did they realize every attempt to get the tire fixed would go improbably wrong for a comical amount of time, driving them to the brink of madness, thanks to that old bastard who is somehow disarming and enraging at the same time. They note the bubbling water, and intend to let their resident diver know for later investigation.. at least until they come upon the mangled piles of meat. Fitting that Dragula's trunk is a coffin. They hopefully get the remains of their two compatriots in there without their tag-along defiling them further. And then there's the house. They cruise slowly up to it, and poke inside, weapons at the ready. Expecting to, but somewhat pleased not to, find a charnel house of humanity's front line troops. "Looks like you had a fuckin' time of it." Dan comments, looking weary and strained to the breaking point, but that's mostly from their passenger who is somehow more eerie and unsettling than Dracula's loving Castle. But damned if the brothers don't kinda like him anyways. It's maddening. They detach the coffin-trunk from Dragula after getting it back into the garage, and bring it inside. "Bad news, guys. Anyone know Doctor F's number?" Day 14 Van spends his time tending to Dragula like it's his dying wife, yelling at the helpful engineering and trade school students as they aid in repairs to 'be gentle' and the like. Dan introduces Mister Mi-Go to the group. Hopefully without any madness occurring. He then works on old house repairs and reinforcement. Night 14 Van and Dan take Dragula out to meet the Bone Gang in the mean streets for a final confrontation. In fire, in steel, in smoke and with silver honed. VEHICULAR COMBAT.

Thankfully, it's raining. Bignatz is exhausted and heart-sick at the loss of Treena and Bob. Things had been looking up after forging an alliance with Visconti but now the manse is in shambles and the team has lost their financier and best fighter in one short night. It's too much at once and there are so few hours to prepare for another nightfall. Bignatz says his hellos to the strange little man that arrived with the Wildsing Bros but instinctively plans to give him a wide berth. Then, it's time to attempt to put the grim state of things in order. Day 14: Bignatz gets in contact with Treena's softball team and delivers the bad news. He then tries to make sense of Bob's paper work and files to see if there is anyone to contact for him. Attempt to tally up what supplies we have remaining in the house while also helping with repairs. Night 14: Bignatz rides out with Van and Dan to settle the score with the Bone Gang. He's wary of whatever monstrosity was able to take out their compatriots violently, but the Bone Gang seriously needs to be put down for good. Clutching the magic stick Bignatz sets the enchanted boombox to Treena's theme. She'll be with them in spirit, at least, while they settle the score.

Mr Mi-Go The strange little "man" is quietly respectful of the team's loss and offers polite condolences. It introduces itself to the team members, although for many of these conversations it is talking to random objects within the house that it seems to have mistaken for the other party members. Apart from a slight scare when it nearly burns the house down attempting to help with cooking it causes no further disturbance for the rest of the evening... I'm sure it's probably okay, right? Day 14 Upon learning that its current residence is in a state of disrepair, the entity perhaps fortunately decides that instead of sticking around the house during the day it will enlist help and supplies from a local hardware store. In practice this amounts to it accidentally stumbling into a construction site and causing a series of bizarre accidents and narrowly avoiding being killed by the ensuing falling construction materials. This apparently purposeless act should hopefully convince the workers to help with repairs of the house gratis if Mr Mi-Go leaves their construction site simply to avoid the growing toll of death and devastation its presence in such a high risk environment pretty much guarantees. From one point of view this might be seen as extortion but the old "man" seems entirely oblivious to this and to the devastation that follows in its wake. Night 14 It seems excited to join in on a nice drive and will tag along with the rest of the team in the Dragula. While this is perhaps better than leaving it to its own devices in the house, thereby at least temporarily saving it, it also pretty much insures that through blind luck Mi-Go will end up behind the steering wheel at some point in the conflict. This terrifying scenario is likely to cause untold calamity to others accompanied by Mr Mi-Go complaining about the driving of everything in the nearby surrounds, calling out "Road Hogs!" and "Sunday drivers!" and frantically honking at stationary objects while tearing along at top speed blindly in (hopefully) the direction of their enemies. On the other hand it's probably a best case scenario both in terms of causing maximum damage to things not inside the vehicle and the group escaping death through a series of wacky and wild coincidences as if they were somehow within the eye of a whirling maelstrom of chaos around them. (tl;dr coerce local construction crew into fixing house, assist with the fight in their own strange way) Stoner Sloth fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Oct 14, 2023 |

Name: Mistress Carmallia Edensbane Theme: Wolfmother - Woman  Skill Class: Hedge Priestess The rain poured over the darkened day in sheets. There had been a murdered soul with unholy connections to gaia who had come calling to Carmallia from the spirit realms, overnight... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ivfvHRlJKI This was the spot. The blood was mostly washed away but the psychic imprint of a recent murder was palpable here, to those with the Sight. Katrina Hendricks, known as 'Treena' to her friends and family. Bitten by a weredeer, she was. A single black tear was drawn from the hedge witch's right eye as the realization struck Carmallia that she and Treena had been lovers in another lifetime, and that now she'll never get a chance to dance with that passionate soul again. The black-staining streak of ink rolled down Carmallia's pallid tattooed cheek, and despite the rains it remained there even as Carmallia approached the front entrance of the Old hosed Up House. "Don't mind me," she'd say, to anyone inquiring about her business there, and not making eye contact. "Your hedgerows are all hosed up. I gotta realign the roots in the firmament to shore up a better buffer zone for repelling undead." If pressed further by the Vampire Hunters for doing magic poo poo to their lawn (and later backyard), Carmallia would challenge anyone with a deep eye-locking soul stare and simply say, "I'm not here because I want to be: Treena sent me to repay her debts to the mother moon." Carmallia, Day 14: > Work the earth with druidic protection rituals around the hosed Up Old House Carmallia, Night 14: > Seance in the backyard, to erect spectral defenses under the night sky's many elements: making ethereal walls, cages, shrouds, and warning systems for the House. Purification obviously a concern here in suburbia, too... Lux Anima fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Oct 14, 2023 |

Despite all the fuzzy critters you've abstractified into something palatable that bears no likeness to anything cute or living, you were not prepared to see your friends spatchcocked like little roasters... even if one of them smelled like venison... gently caress why can't you grieve like a normal person? Get these dumbass intrusive thoughts outta here. Day Whatever: You have no motivation to do much of anything... guess it's a good chance to recover from getting roughed up last night, Chef. Night 14: These boners have been a problem for long enough. Make them a solution! They WILL become bone broth by the end of the night, and the team will absorb their energy. You have served all of God's creatures, now for the ones that shrink from his light.

Lester from R&D Lester trudged through the rain towards the Old House. He had been reading Bob From Accounting's reports on the flight in. What an annoyance this all was. "Bob, why couldn't you have just kept your head down, brought back the sample and retired? How hard could it have been? One vampire and a few monsters? Now the higher ups have insisted I come here myself to finish the job." Lester had some experience with monsters. His research on cryptids and other biological oddities had taken him to some strange places. Though admittedly he had never had contact with the undead. Lester felt a twinge of excitement. "Maybe this will be fun!". He arrived at the Old House and introduced himself to the monster hunters inside. Lester explained that he was a friend of Bob's from work. Here to take revenge on the monsters that had taken Bob's life. And to take down Dracula for the greater good. Skills Alchemy Crossbow Invent Cook Maniacal Laugh Day 14 Lester from R&D searches for Bob's corpse and inventory. He arranges to have what is left of Bob's body and personal effects sent home. Lester will keep the holy water vial and silver bullets if found. Night 14 Lester finds the large Eagle in the back yard. "Let's give you a name shall we? How about..."Hawk". Yes, Hawk the Eagle, perfect!" Lester sets up a large meat locker in the garage to hold Hawk's venison steaks. He then works on upgrading the laboratory in the Old House.

Name: Mistress Carmallia Edensbane Theme: Wolfmother - Woman Skill Class: Hedge Priestess Carrying: Copy of novel Carmilla, Jar of Failed Experiment Mistress Carmallia Edensbane was sitting crosslegged in a small clearing of the woods during the daytime and communing with fae spirits nearby. She had brought some personal affects that had belonged to Treena once, and planned to ask the more trustworthy spirits of the forest to help Treena's soul find succor and redemption in the afterlife. The moon priestess spoke sacred words of truth from her mindsoul that danced on the air with a strange rhythm that caused the very aether to vibrate and hum around her ears, her temples, and the tips of her antlers sprouting from her crown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIvy57djk3s Astral gateways opened in Camallia's mind that told her multitudes from beyond, and the hedge witch began to sway in her seat. This could be a long séance if she wanted to make sense of any of it. Good thing Carmallia brought company, even if it was something wretched and toxic trapped in a jar. She needed an ethical reference point for the spirits to pierce through the veils of Dracula's evil. Carmallia, Day 16: > Go to Woods to commune with nature spirits and/or fae, requesting guidance in the afterlife for Treena and advice on what to do about the Failed Experiment in the Jar for defeating Dracula Carmallia, Night 16: > Follow spirit/fae advice on Failed Experiment, defaulting to Woods if applicable.

Bubal Hartefeest, this drawbridge has 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕮𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖙 being hunted on his own turf on his own time. Perhaps we can clip one of those wings? The conservatory smelled to be close to The Swamp where you forage for particularly pungeant ingredients. No stranger to lutefisk or eating durians in public, this should be a walk in the park for you. Day 16: Find The Swamp's Hidden Entrance to the Castle. If you make it inside the castle, Chef, perhaps stay in the courtyard until night when your team is hopefully nearer. 𝕯𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖚𝖑𝖆's minions hopefully won't venture into the open, daylit air much. If possible, ignite some conservatory plants when you pass through. Night 16: Attempt to befriend The Librarian's Pet with some fruit. You know better than anyone the best way to do this is through it's stomach. Approach this with some caution, though, maybe lob a few mangos in first with the spud launcher.

Lester from R&D Lester slowly crawls out from the lab explosion, covered in ash and smelling of chemicals. "Dammit Bob! How many times did I tell you about proper titration when mixing reagents!" Lester looks up to see everyone in the Old House has rushed over and is looking at the remains of the lab, wondering if there has been another attack on the house. "No need to worry everyone, I was just... testing... a hypothesis... an experiment you see...". Lester sighs and drags himself to the shower without another word. Day 16 After cleaning himself up, Lester from R&D spends the day rebuilding the lab at the Old House. He then feeds Hawk the Eagle a big venison steak and takes Hawk on patrol around the neighborhood looking for anything suspicious to report back to the others. Night 16 Lester rests at the Old House to heal. ------ "You hear that Hawk? Music. Beautiful music!" Lester can't help but to do a little dance as he works in the lab. Even Hawk is nodding his beak along in time with the music. Lester beings to laugh maniacally, though he couldn't say why. Day 17 Lester retrieves a crossbow from the vault of the Old House and attempts to fashion Bob's old silver bullets into silver tipped crossbow bolts. He also begins to make various potions and bombs. Explosives, holy water bombs, healing potions, sleep potions, you name it. Night 17 Lester from R&D and Hawk the Eagle, will follow the music, inviting others in the Old House to join them. Lester equips himself with his crossbow and any potions he has made. Just in case it turns out to be a monster bashing party.

Day 16/Night 16 Mr Mi-Go quietly pockets the [i]boner patch[/b] - never know when such things could be useful to the elderly. They also suggest maybe adding the strange ghostly machine parts to the dragula but don't involve themselves in such matters. Other than wandering around the local area and hoping to stumble across something useful they do nothing of note for this day and night. Day 17/Night 17 The entity spends the day basking in some of the chaos that Dracula's castle is bringing to the area, trying to increase its strength for the night ahead.

Name: Mistress Carmallia Edensbane Theme: Wolfmother - Woman Skill Class: Hedge Priestess Carrying: Copy of novel Carmilla, The rains kept falling as Carmallia worked her magics in the Dark Dark Woods during the dismally-gray daylight hours - it didn't matter to her what her physical eyes could see: she knew the stars were always out there. Her soul thrummed with a sondering wistfulness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaeRXppkzdA To the fae and their offer, Carmallia considered their words before scolding herself for being too trusting: "Fie on thee, tricksters of the dark forest. You care not for purification, only defilement. You would just as soon tele-warp myself or my allies into cages in Dracula's basement! No Deal, not unless I get to bring my own set of cards..." With a stiff branch Carmallia churned the runny mud of the Woods into a small hole that she could bury the Jar with the Failed Experiment[/b] inside. She also wrapped it in a set of prayer beads, to act as a seal, a protective ward, and as a triangulation point for her own personal sigil-work. It was messy work in the pounding rain, but the only thing that mattered was making it out of the Woods before nightfall. The sooner she could get out of werewolf territory, the better...

Day 17: Hartefeest, set up a big punji pit in front of the hole in the conservatory's swampwall. Is this hunting the most dangerous game? Even for monsters this seems kind of cruel, or at least pretty drat gross. However, 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕮𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖙's infestation keeps spreading, and you can hear those stinkers inside begging to be exterminated. Or really, they're probably begging to exterminate you, but we got the drop on 'em, right Chef? Oh, be sure to mark this on the map/castle model app for the others so they know to lay a log over and walk across if they come through here. Night 17: Head out to follow the music with the others. Times like these, vampire hunters need to stick together. Especially when the castle keeps expanding and repopulating overnight. It is happening overnight, right? What day of the week even is it? Not that you cared before, but it means even less to you since you haven't been showing up to work in some time. Anyway, for this little old guy to have made it this far in all the chaos of late and still be out and about completely undaunted, he must have some serious good luck! Definitely tag along with Mr. Mi-Go.

Bignatz is conflicted. The raid against the Bone Boys was exhilarating, it really brought the ~animal~ out in him! So much so, it was a simple decision to don their discarded leathers in a flamboyant show of dominance. Yet, maybe deservedly so, he had never felt more like a beast after being rejected, ignored and feared during his recent quest into town. All the same, the leathers are enthralling, surpassing even the allure of the magic stick. And combined? It's far too much for this recent sideshow to resist. For Bignatz, it's back to embracing his monstrous nature; but only as much as it will aid his fellow hunters. Bignatz Day 17: Take the woodcraft tools and head to the Dark Woods with the intent to harvest as much hardwood as (in)humanly possible. Set practically all of the harvested wood aside for stakes, but fashion the best piece collected into a cudgel. Keep alert for danger, for himself and other hunters in the Woods. Night 17: The absolute ~last~ thing Bignatz is going to do is follow the alluring sound of music into the twilight. Bignatz wishes all of the hunters well as he settles in for another night, keeping watch on the back porch. Hub Dirt fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Oct 18, 2023 |

Van and Dan That was.. a night. Images they will never forget crashing through their grey matter, frothily eroding the sandy shores of sanity. The carnage. The way he just.. destroyed them. Without seemingly like he was trying. The brothers only had to pick off the stragglers, after Mi-Go ducking at the right moment caused them to get knocked off by a log suspended on a crane, swinging over the street to get in position for a log-wall a rich resident is erecting. At night. Haunted.  They spend Day and Night 16 trying to process what they've just experienced. Recovering. Trying to keep it together. Van throws himself into Dragula, spending the whole time upgrading it, and trying to add the Ghost Parts to it in an unholy fusion of spectral energy and nec.. oh, right, they're both unholy. At least Dragula has rainbow power! Is it now a ghost-rainbow dragster?  Dan drowns himself in booze and some drugs. And tries to create a one-man stage play about the destruction of the Bonies. Day and Night 17 Dan uses his chemistry and engineering knowledge to assist Lester from R&D in his totally sane and reasonable, measured attempts to use science to end the evil plague. Van scrounges whatever stereo and speaker equipment in the house to put the finishing touches on Dragula. He thinks he understands, now. The -music- is what completes the Dragula. He attaches his Zune to play Robert Zombie's Dragulahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqQuihD0hoI on repeat whenever the vehicle is active. ------ You fight fire with fire, you take an eye for an eye.. and you fight back against an auditory threat with an even more brutal and bone-rattling baled.

Lol this gnarly rear end bone gang Sophy Wackles posted:Day 16 Stoner Sloth posted:Day 16/Night 16 Mr Mi-Go quietly pockets the boner patch - never know when such things could be useful to the elderly. They also suggest maybe adding the strange ghostly machine parts to the dragula but don't involve themselves in such matters. Justin Credible posted:They spend Day and Night 16 trying to process what they've just experienced. Recovering. Trying to keep it together. Van throws himself into Dragula, spending the whole time upgrading it, and trying to add the Ghost Parts to it in an unholy fusion of spectral energy and nec.. oh, right, they're both unholy. These go thru fine. Huge eagle is pretty tame, all things considered. Using some grabbers prevents you from losing some fingers. The only odd thing you notice is the odd looks from the HOA members who don't seem particularly enthusiastic about what's been going on lately. Mr go discovers a manhole which appears to connect to the sewage treatment plant by accidentally falling in and breaking critical municipal infrastructure. Easily escaped, probably won't be a problem. You upgrade the dragula with the ghostly parts and can use it to run over ghosts and specters probably -- Sophy Wackles posted:Day 17 Justin Credible posted:Day and Night 17 This is all trivially invented no problem & additionally you have invented 1 dose of Glowing Green Stuff. Generally pharmacological materials don't luminesce. Kind of a bad sign. Not this time, hopefully. This could save somebody's life, or end it if they're unlucky enough. Stoner Sloth posted:Day 17 The entity spends the day basking in some of the chaos that Dracula's castle is bringing to the area, trying to increase its strength for the night ahead. You accidentally break the gate that leads into the courtyard and it's stuck shut. A zombie mechanic comes out and is p pissed off but it's hardly noticeable tbh. Lux Anima posted:Carmallia, Day 17: This works pretty well and you're able to establish a back path into drac's. Surely there is no possible way this could backfire under any circumstance. RavenousScoot posted:Day 17: Hartefeest, set up a big punji pit in front of the hole in the conservatory's swampwall. Is this hunting the most dangerous game? Even for monsters this seems kind of cruel, or at least pretty drat gross. However, 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕮𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖙's infestation keeps spreading, and you can hear those stinkers inside begging to be exterminated. Or really, they're probably begging to exterminate you, but we got the drop on 'em, right Chef? Oh, be sure to mark this on the map/castle model app for the others so they know to lay a log over and walk across if they come through here. you set up the pit but it's extremely dangerous and pretty much anybody who goes near it could end up stabbed. Also it floods with swamp water pretty much as soon as you dig it and is real hard to notice Hub Dirt posted:Day 17: Take the woodcraft tools and head to the Dark Woods with the intent to harvest as much hardwood as (in)humanly possible. Set practically all of the harvested wood aside for stakes, but fashion the best piece collected into a cudgel. You get a shitload of high quality wood perfect for these purposes -- Justin Credible posted:Night 17 Hub Dirt posted:Night 17: The absolute ~last~ thing Bignatz is going to do is follow the alluring sound of music into the twilight. Bignatz wishes all of the hunters well as he settles in for another night, keeping watch on the back porch. Makes sense. A lot of sense. Perhaps supernaturally so. Wisdom. No evils appear except a messenger from the HOA which you scare off just by hanging around. Or maybe it was the blaring loud music. Or the trap and the fact the castle gate is jammed shut. RavenousScoot posted:Night 17: Head out to follow the music with the others. Times like these, vampire hunters need to stick together. Especially when the castle keeps expanding and repopulating overnight. It is happening overnight, right? What day of the week even is it? Not that you cared before, but it means even less to you since you haven't been showing up to work in some time. Anyway, for this little old guy to have made it this far in all the chaos of late and still be out and about completely undaunted, he must have some serious good luck! Definitely tag along with Mr. Mi-Go. Lux Anima posted:Carmallia, Night 17: Stoner Sloth posted:Day 17/Night 17 The entity spends the day basking in some of the chaos that Dracula's castle is bringing to the area, trying to increase its strength for the night ahead. Then joins in Lester's attempt to follow the music. How much they're aware of what is happening is debatable but they seem content to follow along for now. Sophy Wackles posted:Night 17 you mega crit. The eerie music is coming from more than one direction. Overland from the castle itself, across the lake, which seems interconnected with the flooded mines and the moat that now surrounds the castle, and from the sewer system. Gross. Illegally trespassing down the sewers you find an old entrance to a strange crumbling labyrinth In the distance, down here, somewhere, is what clearly sounds like a minotaur -- basically no monsters came out this time, p lucky. should prob post your day/night 18s

Name: Mistress Carmallia Edensbane Theme: Wolfmother - Woman Skill Class: Hedge Priestess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IkR9RR48k8 The hedge witch Carmallia hummed to herself in the Old House's back patio as she crushed up seeds from poppy flowers she'd gathered in the fields nearby the wetlands, all while champing on a stalk of licorice root. She was feeling a little loopy, but that's only because opiate potency is so hard to measure in the wild without a trusted test subject who has experience being under various influences... The tattooed woman in leathers had pilfered a couple spices from the Old House's kitchen to make this 'herbal blend' of hers, too, if only to make the medicine smell more palatable once she'd started cooking it. This was not the first time she'd had to improvise with either local flora or else a bit of petty theft from civilization to get a tincture tasting just right. Carmillia had no idea what an HOA was or what it could be capable of, but she understood that snooping strangers in general wouldn't tolerate her manufacturing shamanism drugs in the backyard. That's why she wanted it to smell a little more like cinnamon and clove. Carmallia, Day 18: > Herbalism: seek out natural medicinals for heavy sedation and get to potion-making - we need enough to knock out a rampaging Minotaur! Carmallia, Night 18: > Explore Labrynth, using stone-senses for guidance towards whatever secrets lie waiting within

Bignatz is very content as he reviews the hardwood harvest. The diabolic leathers have proven their worth, it truly is a wonderful harvest. Now, it's on to sorting. With efficiency in mind, Bignatz separates the stake sized logs out from the chunkier, drier pieces that, hopefully, Hardefeest can use for a good barbeque. He marvels at the amount of good stake wood when, at last, he finds what he set out for. A gnarled, knotted old base of ash. He sets it aside and dutifully sorts out the stake wood from the smoke wood. Despite the morning chill, this is hard work! Bignatz clears the sweat from his eyes but is surprised by how thick his coat is growing in. Day 18: Bignatz uses the magic stick to, slowly ~painstakingly~ etch silver tracing throughout the perfect piece of ashwood. He concentrates on his resolve to help the hunters, but also his fury while wrecking the Bone Boys. He prays for a weapon to destroy evil. Night 18: With the wood collected and sorted, only one task remains. Bignatz starts working the wood into stakes! Hub Dirt fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Oct 19, 2023 |

Mr Mi-Go The old 'man' seems to have taken a shine to Van and Dan after their pleasant drive through town, seeing them as a benevolent uncle might regard nephews to be taken under its wings. At least to all appearances, after all the mind of such an alien being is incomprehensible by nature. Hearing all this talk of visiting a Castle, the entity seems to decide that the three of them should be dressed in true gentlemanly fashion befitting an audience with nobility. As such Mr Mi-Go visits a store to obtain some fancier attire and the tools to tailor the clothes to better fit the three. How they manage to pay for it is a matter of debate, whether no one pays attention as it walks out with the items after someone accidentally cuts their own head off while using scissors, or whether the chaotic entity simply finds or even creates the funds befitting a wealthy old man of leisure it appears to be is left as an exercise for the reader. In any case they spend the day tailoring the clothing with perhaps surprisingly ability and unnatural speed give their seemingly nearly complete lack of visual acuity - turns out that mere thread is a doddle for something used to weaving chaos from the intricate tapestry of fate - and will even weave the Boner Patch onto their waist coat for the look of the thing. Day 18 - Tailor the clothing for Van and Dan using Woven Chaos to create outfits that should protect them at least partially from the inadvertent effects of its own powers. They will also tailor their own clothes, adding the patch. Having heard the minotaur in the maze last night, and mistaking it for hungry lost cattle, the 'kindly old gentleman' will also procure some hay and vegetables to feed the creature. Perhaps inadvertently, and with their usual approach, they actually gather stalks of lupine and waterhemlock tubers - both attractive to bovine creatures but highly poisonous to them. Night 18 - time to go see this castle, and through a labyrinth no less! Mr Mi-Go seems quite taken with the idea and will briskly lead the way through the darkness, relying on Blind Luck to find their way to the 'poor lost cow' on their way to the castle. Perhaps unbeknownst to them their earlier tailoring job has left a loose loop of thread on their jacket which snags on some of the rubble as they make their way in, leading to it slowly unwinding as it leaves a trail through the twisting tunnels beneath the castle.

Van and Dan Pulled into a web that they don't understand but somehow feel right at home with, the pair think they've regained some of their sanity. Little do they know that is the true creeping madness that is crawling through the ridges and canyons of their brains, microscopic Mi-Gos bumbling around, rearranging things, 'fixing' synapses. As such, they are more than pleased to get those suits - best fit of any clothing they've ever had. Like they... never want to take them off. Ever. Day 18 Entranced, they assist Mi-Go in collecting the necessary food materials without comment on whatever he -actually- gathers. There are several mishaps, including a long, one-footed slide along a suspicious trail of slime, Dan skidding to a stop right in front of a precarious precipice. He doesn't seem to notice, striding along the edge before lucking out and finding a piece of intergalactic meteoroid. He rubs it, and sticks it in his pocket for good luck. Van's heart already given over to Dragula creates some dissonance, but he finds if he plays chauffer he can attend to both masters at once.. for now. Night 18 They go along with Mi-Go into the tunnels.. following behind in the Dragula. Surely the blaring, pounding music and semi-ghost necro-racer can navigate even tight passages, what with the car's body existing in more than one dimensional plane at a time.

Lester from R&D "HOA? HOA! Who they hell do they think they are telling us we can't keep a gigantic Eagle!" Lester's eyes quickly fill with murderous rage. "They are the real enemy! I will burn their houses down and replace the entire lot with a bird sanctuary!!" Lester takes a deep breath and manages to calm himself. Clearly he has had problems with his own HOA. Day 18 Lester from R&D will offer to assist Carmallia in making the Minotaur sleep potion. With Carmallia's expertise in local flora and Lester's background in alchemy, they hope to make a serious knockout potion. Night 18 Lester will accompany the group in the tunnels. Crossbow, sleep potion and mysterious glowing potion on hand.

Day 18: Chef Hartefeest, fish the lake for a fresh catch to prepare later. Scout it out and bring nets to plumb the depths if you find anything interesting. Zone out for awhile, entranced by the lake bubbling away like a cauldron and by the haunting refrains sailing through the air. Night 18: This minotaur is toast for sure. Or maybe roast. Either way, everyone knows their biggest fear is frat boys; they have nightmares about them. It's a well-published fact! With Van and Dan on deck this is a shoe-in. Watch the entrance to the labyrinth and guide your spelunking team over the phone using the map app. Tie them off to your XXL ball of kitchen twine so you can lead them easily back out or follow them in should they need backup.

But this amount of prep is enough to get you thruYou travel deeper into the curving maze and it immediately becomes a clusterfuck. But finally you arrive at the central chamber, which is full of hideous monsters and ofc, You're able to kill all these fiends without falling into the abyssal depths below, but in the process use up all of the sleep drugs & poison, and about half the remaining holy water. You're also real low on silver, with barely any left. Everyone who went down is injured. Good thing the dragula can spookily glide over these irregular holes in the ground, because beneath the labyrinth is a dark abyss. Above, you can see moonlight, and the fronds of plants -- if you could climb up there you could get into the conservatory. You also get the powerful devil pike, which is p big and evil, so there's at least that. Got plenty of stakes ready for spikin vamps, too. With the boss of this region destroyed probably it won't get bigger or more dangerous even if the curse becomes stronger.

Surely.Day 19 Using the grapnel guns, they get some nice rope ladders going up to the conservatory. They look around for materials to throw down to help bridge the abyssal gaps to make traversal easier for anyone who doesn't come in on Dragula's spooky tire plumes. Night 19 They poke around in the conservatory and see what they can find one way or another, in general, one might say. Justin Credible fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Oct 20, 2023 |

Name: Mistress Carmallia Edensbane Theme: Wolfmother - Woman Skill Class: Hedge Priestess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3dlmWXP0yE Carmallia hadn't seen a fight like that in her life, but somehow she and her allies had prevailed against the demonic fiends at the heart of the underground labyrinth. Access to Dracula's Conservatory could be found here, if only they had a reliable way to climb up. Thankfully, Carmallia knew just the right ingredients needed to weave up a resilient 'living rope' that she could animate and send skyward with nature magicks. While braiding her freshly-collected grasses, reeds, and thin vines among cords, strings, and yarns, Carmallia could occasionally be seen plucking long hairs from her head and adding the strands to the magic rope, too. "I haven't braided this much in one sitting since girl scout camp..." she muttered absentmindedly at once point, when someone stepped out onto the porch for a smoke break. This human urge to interact in pattering conversation was bizarre to Carmallia to feel reappearing in herself, to say the least. Carmallia, Day 19: > Old House: Craft a Magic Animated Rope for ascending into the Conservatory from the Labyrinth Carmallia, Night 19: > Explore Conservatory, maybe make a Teleportation sigil there and then take Magic Rope back home with us.

Bignatz slept fitfully, dreaming of the defeated Bone Gang. Of long skeletal limbs reaching out to drag him down into the dust and debris of their scattered remains. He wakes with a yelp and considers his reflection in the back window of the old house. Wiry, grey winter hairs are setting in along his cheeks and muzzle. He appears weary, even if he admittedly feels great. Too many lonely nights lately. Bedecked in the leathers,He takes up the ash club and plans to rejoin the hunt! Day 19: Gather up a bandolier of stakes and make sure they're extra sharp. Casually wonder what Visconti is up to and how far along his garlic experiment is? Night 19: Set out with the hunters who are exploring the Conservatory. Let's find out just what this ash club can do.

Lester from R&D "Ha, ha, hahah!" Lester laughs uncontrollably, monster guts raining down on the group in the labyrinth. "Magnificent!" Day 19 Lester from R&D will take the Devil Pike back to the lab in the Old House for analysis. "Not really my kind of thing, but maybe we could fashion it into a weapon for someone else? Surely this will come in useful." Night 19 Lester and Hawk the Eagle will join the crew headed to the Conservatory. If the hunters encounter the giant bat monster from Bob's reports, Hawk the Eagle will soar into glorious battle!

Chef Hartefeest: Years spent watching your favorite worktime entertainment, the lobster tank, has you convinced you have at least a kindergarten-level grasp of aquatic communication. You also kiss each of the fish you caught for good measure. If it works to bring back a frog prince, maybe the magic works both ways. Day 19: Have your fish pals explore the moat on kitchen twine leashes and report back to you. If this doesn't work, but they're fine, explore the moat yourself. Night 19: Join the party in the conservatory. Bring your survivalist's cookbook to reference any interesting plants that may be growing in there.

So," lead Carmallia flirtatiously, while tossing her shoulders to one side and tilting her head the other way. "Are you, like, a VAMPIRE..? -Or a vampire HUNTER???" She giggled and had to hide a sneering smirk from the pallid hipster she was chatting up. With a side-eye. the hegdewitch watched the false vampire-hunter to see how his demeanor reacted to her exposed, prey-like neck. Obviously, this overly chummy vampire continuously knocking on the Old House's door to 'Team Up' was in need of a very explicit message of rejection from the truthful Vampire Hunters for being such a soulless blood-sucker. Carmallia was not opposed to leading this guy on for a bit into the night, at least until the undead annoyance could be 'dealt with' somewhere a little more discreet.

Mr Mi-Go After the fight Mi-Go took the time to bandage the rather nasty bump they took to the head when the minotaur tripped on the loose thread from the entity's jacket. While this sent the old "man" tumbling it also caused the beast to stumble and trip before awkwardly landing neck first on the blade of their unholy weapon, neatly decapitating the monster. Since then Mr Mi-Go has worked on cleaning up the skull of the best, figuring it would make an excellent hood ornament for the Dragula. Hopefully the day of rest should allow its physical form to recover fully and for them to digest the large meal of chaotic energies the various stumbles and accidents it caused in the fight, as well as the general background energies from Dracula's growing power, allowed it to gather. On the following day, the entity will attempt enter the castle via the portal - deciding that it needs a good book to read and thus will head for the library to see what it can find - using the powers of Blind Luck to guide it to something of interest and a large magnifying glass to read from whatever tome it manages to acquire. Day/Night 19 Clean and prepare the Minotaur Skull to make it into a hood ornament/battering ram for the Dragula. Day 21 Attempt to gain entrance to the Library to read from a random eldritch tome - likely drawn to whatever book might unleash most chaos upon the castle. Night 21 Accompany the rest of the group on whatever nightly raid/activity they have planned. If the group splits up they'll most likely go with Van & Dan.

Wait, what did that lovable little old coot say? He was heading to the library for a spot of reading? Good luck or not, you worry what may happen if he runs into The Librarian's Pet. Better tag along for good measure. Make a pitstop at The Dragula's Minibar before going for a quck nip and maybe take a flask. Being around Mr. Mi-Go makes your thoughts tingly. Day 21: Hartefeest, accompany Mr. Mi-Go to the library. Launch some fruits to distract The Librarian's Pet. If this works, feed it one of the Apples of Knowledge. Night 21: Carmallia mentioned a plan to take out the worst type of customer, That Annoying Hipster, outside The Tavern tonight. Help facilitate things, and when she gives the cue, spill some of your countable chick peas from Day 2 as a distraction before helping perform the hit.

Van and Dan Wildsing Appreciative of the addition to their supernatural hodgepodge of a dragster, along with their warped brains, are inclined to follow along into the Library. Day 21 Follow Mi-Go into the Library and assist. Night 21 With their superior knowledge of social situations, especially when alcohol is involved, they go to The Tavern to blast that hipster with worldly truth delivered in an acerbic, but amusing tone. Plus, they introduce the chaos being of wrinkled old flesh to the situation. Why not! He's gotta be a fun drunk.

Bignatz is on the prowl. Every time that dweeb lurking about the place last night tapped on a window or knocked on a door he felt the urge to kill. At first light, Bignatz bolted out of the back door and immediately began to track the fiend's scent in an attempt to determine exactly where and how a night creature could have wandered into such a well defended property. Day 21: Track the visitor's scent all around the old house. Evaluate the team's defenses in an attempt to determine any flaws. Night 21: Follow along as muscle in Carmallia's plot. Be wary though, since the visitor was able to get so close to the old house, he may be more than he seems. Hub Dirt fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Oct 22, 2023 |

Lester from R&D "A gangly kid lurking about the house? Pale skin? Only comes out at night? Won't leave us alone? Sounds like one of my lab RAs!" Lester laughs, mostly to himself. "Wait, what if it really is one of my RAs?" Lester muses. "I suppose if he comes back, I could offer him a job in the Old House lab. Who else is going to type up all these research notes?". Day 21 Lester will take the alchemical ashes and attempt to make ethereal potions for all the hunters. These potions will allow the users to take on a ghostly form for a short amount of time, rendering them almost invisible and able to sneak about the castle or make hasty escapes. Night 21 Hawk the Eagle has been pecking at the Devil Pike ever since it was brought into the Lab. Lester will use a small part of the pike to make Devil Pike claws to fit on Hawk's already terrifying claws.
