I liked this more when it was about porn and laughs.

You have been studying improved summoning techniques in the company of your mimir, a limitlessly arrogant and somewhat rebellious talking skull, when Adrienne comes to retrieve you from the library floor with a cruel smile. "It's your lucky day, girlie. The master is here to watch again."

With no other choice before you, you do as you have in the past and mark your books, then rise without complaint and walk to the torture chamber at Adrienne's heels. Within, your eyes are immediately drawn to your lord- his dark aura dominates the room. It takes you a moment to realize that there is someone else present with whom you are familiar. One of the humans, strapped to a rack and glaring defiantly at your master, is one of your boyfriend's companions. You don't know him that well, but well enough not to be mistaken in something like this.

Once you are well inside the room, your master glances at you expressionlessly. You suspect that he's waiting for you to do something. What do you do?

>>7457341
Rip out my fangs.

>>7457341
Ask our master what he wishes us to do.

>>7457341
Genuflect.

>>7457370
>>7457369
>>7457354
All of the above.

>>7457341

Start make-out session with Adrienne?

kneel in front of him and kiss his feet

>>7457341
Attempt to set the friend free assuming he can fight. What's the worse they are going to do, kill you? your existence is already an accursed one

Slap him. Come on, our master gets off on us being tortured but he didn't torture us like that himself. I bet he's a secret submissive.

This is just an excuse for us to write bad porn for you, isn't it?

I see u Railroadin'

>>7457339
I find myself unable to run a "porn and laughs" quest effectively, so I'm stuck with serious. You'll have to find humorously aroused women elsewhere. Sorry.

>>7457354 >>7457369
>>7457370 >>7457394
As you realize who the man on the rack is, your hand flies to your mouth in shock, fingers brushing against the fangs concealed there. You dread where this is going. Surely you can escape it. Just stop being a vampire, tear your fangs from your mouth...

...but you know that won't work. They'll only grow back; Adrienne has torn teeth from you before. You collect yourself and face your master, going to your knees before him. "What do you wish of me?"

He gives a low chuckle. "The same as before, for now. Adrienne tells me your screams only grow sweeter with time." He points to a pair of shackles, implying that you should don them.

What do you do?


((Note: hit submit accidentally a moment ago, sorry if someone saw that.))

>>7457434
No.

>>7457419
>>7457427
No. You won't do as he says- not and face that again. You've had enough of this. Every single night, with Adrienne laughing as you scream and the blood of innocents in your mouth... it's too much. You spring from your knees with a speed that you could never have matched as a human and swing your arm at the vampire lord's face.

He moves backward liquidly, seemingly without even moving his legs. Your arm lashes out again, and he does the same. With a scream of frustration, you turn and dash for the rack on which the adventurer is held, ripping his bonds apart while he stares in astonishment.

From behind you, you hear your lord give a soft "No." You spin, dreading what he is about to do to you, but immediately see that he was speaking to Adrienne, holding up a hand to prevent her from moving to stop you. He stares at you with a small smile on his face and a look in his eyes like he is watching a particularly fascinating variety of insect.

The hero behind you recovers his wits and begins to dash for the door.

What do you do?

Lift up the guy and sprint with him in your arms as far as you can run. You do have vampiric strenght and speed.

rolled 31 = 31

>>7457518
Stand between him and the vamps. Try to give him some time to make an escape. Although escaping into the bowels of a dread castle doesn't seem very awesome...

>>7457518
Best I can to cover for the fleeing hero and distract the Master. Assuming I survive maybe he can call my boyfriend and his group to save me.

im guessing we arnt going to embrace our evil.

After the hero escapes I block the doorway hissing, snarling and rubbing my inexplicably moist vagina.

>>7457567
We tried. Evil eats its own and only pays if you're at the top.

>>7457574
I moisten my fingers in my lady recepticle and then brush them across my lips. I gesture longingly at my lord.

>>7457589
"Oh so you come around at last my new pet?"
His pants are visibly tighter.
"Ah but arnt you afraid of my wood piercing your heart?"

>>7457574
>>7457589
>>7457596

Fuck off, this isn't Pornquest.

>>7457610
>Fuck off, this isn't Pornquest.

If we've got the ability to quickly summon ANYTHING that will help us survive, summon it.

>>7457596
The room is sparcly decorated apart from instruments of torture and a peculiar portrait of a a blad man with a dirty vest weilding a katana. He has fierce look in his eyes. In the back ground of the picture a gimp in chained to the ceiling, unconscious.

>>7457610
Im just waiting for OP. Chillax : b

>>7457635
I really wish this took a turn into BruceWilliswasmyboyfriendandhekilledamanstonedead quest.

If we can't hurt the big boss, let's take it out on Adrienne.

I summon the entire cast of WWE to make a distraction.
They begin wrestling and attacking anything that moves.

OP is gone. This was just a troll.

>>7457551
>>7457561
>>7457574
You briefly consider fleeing with the hero, but decide that he'd be better off if you stop your lord from chasing him- at least for the short time you think you'll be able to manage. As he exits, you move to stand in the doorway, attempting a martial stance and a defiant expression. You find yourself hissing, though you've never done that before; maybe it's another vampire thing.

Neither the master nor his dark-haired bride make a move. After about thirty seconds, Adrienne rubs a hand on her forehead, looking frustrated. "How long are you going to stand like that? You're like an exceptionally aggressive rabbit."

You drop your stance, feeling a little awkward. Upon reflection, if they wanted to get past you it probably wouldn't have posed much of a problem. You can't help but question their motives here. "But... aren't you going to..."

"Obviously not at the moment," she snaps. She sounds slightly resentful. "Now, are you going to get in the rack like a good little toy, or are we going to play a chasing game?"

What do you do?

Attack Adrienne.

Specifically, try to wrestle her into the bonds.

>>7457693
yakety sax.

>>7457693
turn and walk out without saying another word

worst they can do is torture me. Fuck them.

>>7457701
If we have the time, it is better to try and summon something real quick first.

It is clear the master enjoys the show of defiance and conflict between me and her. I am not dead yet so its best to make as good of a show as possible and hopefuly take a potshot at victory against the bitch.

>>7457731
If we don't have the time perhaps we could run and find some dark corner to hide in where we can summon something anyway

>>7457330
Summon a horde of dual wielding katana imps that can cast fireball and are stylishly dressed in trenchcoats and sunglasses.

>>7457659
Summon the bald man in the dirty vest. Use the painting for inspiration.

Summon the OP to come back and run his own fucking quest.

Summon the girl in OP's pic. Redhead and wet clothes? Yes please.

>>7457859
You are OP now. accept your destiny

Run and hide, cast something to reflect physical pain, get "caught" and get tortured before the spell runs out.

>>7457731
Summoning as you know it requires a ritual which consumes the better part of an hour, unfortunately; it cannot be done without a significant amount of preparation.

>>7457706
>>7457710
You wordlessly turn and leave, walking quickly. Enough of going along with her. It seems that the master doesn't really care- the only one forcing you to obey Adrienne is Adrienne herself. You'll go back to your summoning circle and conjure up something to-

-a sharp impact on your back as you ascend the stairs. Adrienne is crouched atop you. "Oh, girl, that was hardly an entertaining chase at all. Come on." She lifts you effortlessly and slams you repeatedly into the wall facefirst, dazing you long enough that you are back in the torture chamber, your legs being strapped into restraints, by the time that you recover enough awareness to react.

>>7457701
No! Not again! As the other woman is preoccupied with your legs, you lash an arm out and grab her hand, then shove the wrist into one of the shackles and slam it shut. It locks with a click. Adrienne looks at you disdainfully. "Keep this up, and you won't be entertaining enough for me to play with you anymore. You know what happens to my toys when I'm done with them."

You do know. Body after body, thrown into the furnace. You don't care. You twist your body and whip your fangs into her imprisoned wrist while yanking with your arms, using the unnatural strength of your jaw to bite as hard as you can. Her wrist dislocates with a pop, and you can feel the tendons tearing when she pries you off with a shriek.

"You'll pay for that one, little one. You'll be in broken pieces on the floor when I'm done with you." She moves, fast and strong, and you find yourself unable to stop her from getting your other arm shackled, then pinning you in place while she works her wrist free. It looks badly damaged, hand hanging limply from her forearm. She uses her other hand to grasp a scalpel. "Now, sing for our lord."

***

That is the end of your effective resistance. Though you struggle furiously, clinging to your defiance, Adrienne wrings scream after scream from your lips as she peels the flesh from your face in thin strips. It seems to take an eternity. When she is done, she looks to the master and bows, then leaves without a word.

He walks forward and stands before you. From the smile on his face as you were being tortured, you'd have thought that he was on Adrienne's side, but his words say otherwise. "That was adorable, pet. I look forward to seeing what you do now."

He turns and moves to the humans restrained in the room, who have been watching your torture with a mix of horror at its form and relief that they were not the one being attended to. The vampire lord's arm reaches forth, and one by one their bodies shrivel into dessicated husks. Their heartbeats which so called to you a moment ago are gone- there is no food left in the room to assuage your hunger.

Your master flicks a hand and your bonds snap free, then he is out the door faster than your eyes can follow. The need to feed burns within you- the skin of your face will not be regrow until you have feasted on the blood of a sentient creature. It dominates your mind; there is no way you can focus enough for spellcasting in your current state. Your only concern must be to hunt.

What do you do?


>>7457859
Sorry, mate, but it takes a bit to write these things, and I try to give it ten minutes for replies first.

>>7457710
This.

And perhaps, Summon some patience, so this doesn't go the way of the last.

>>7457904
Quickly eat the cyanide capsule hidden in your lower 2nd molar.

Well, I'm out of ideas

BAD END?

Summon Pixie to satiate our bloodlust.

>>7457918
oh, no worries.


What are the odds that the boyfriends friend is lost in the castle or whatever? Let's go find him.

>>7457950
and feed just enough to sustain ourselves. And then turn him into a vampire for shits and giggles, and a distraction.

Send him after the vampire bitch while we make our escape from this shithole.

>>7457950
And kill our only hope for rescue? maybe we should beg the mute for her blood

>>7457967
I doubt we are able to sire.

>>7457967
And then what? die to sunlight? find boyfriend and say 'sup we killed ur best friend also we're vampire now dur hur'

We're a weak girl in desperate love, not Rambo

>>7458005
No one said he was his BEST friend.

>>7458035
Summon Rambo.

>>7457918
We hunt... but not the adventurer. Flee from the castle, flee toward the nearest town, and prey that some low-life tries to jump you in an alleyway. Only those who try to prey on you will themselves be preyed upon.

>>7457992
>>7457994
>>7458005
well well ain't we all just a bunch of quivering little pussies waiting to get fucked by whatever big dick comes strolling along.


Fuck, we need to eat. We know there's at least one human probably walking around the castle.
problem, officer?

>>7458050
You're going into town with your face torn off?

>>7458064
Hey, I've nothing against drinking his blood. Just saying we probably can't turn him into a vampire.

>>7457933
You are currently operating post-BAD END, if you recall how this quest started. You don't hit another one.

>>7457945
>>7457950
>>7457967
You know where food is. One way or another, it's upstairs. You move in a blur and find yourself in the castle courtyard. The pulse of heartbeats comes to your ears, and the scent of blood hangs in the air.

The adventurer who escaped has left a clear trail to the main gate. Not clear to anyone else, perhaps, but you can smell the drops which occasionally fell from his wounds as he ran; they are like bright flags guiding you to his current location, presumably within the forest.

Other heartbeats reach your ears as well. The guardhouse you'd seen before, but chosen to avoid- there are a double handful of humans who sleep in there, you recall. You're not certain who they are or why they're kept there, but sweet blood pounds through their veins, should you want it.

Another option occurs to you as well. Your minions. The assassin imp and the sprite both have blood. You're not certain how nourishing it would be, but the taste of the pixie you sucked the life from before was wonderful and exotic; the same might apply to your current minions. Best of all, you have but to will them to you, and they will be forced to your side; the bindings on both of them are very strong and might hold even as you suck them dry.

What will you do?

>>7458066
Yes.

It's night, after all. That's why we're awake atm, being a Vampire and all.

>>7458066
Why not! none will recognize you :3

>>7458064
Yes. There's a concept called loyalty. If we truly loved the hero we wouldn't kill he friend

>>7458080
I was trying to get out of BAD END and reach our original purpose

>>7458080
Investigate the people in the Guardhouse. If they guard the Vampire's castle during the daylight hours, removing them will only help your Boyfreind and his band.

>>7458080
the guardhouse

>>7458106
this

We are too weak to give chase or summon another pixie, and we really don't want that anyway. I say we jump on a sleeping guard.

>>7458106
seconding

>>7458106
>>7458113
>>7458115
You go with the quickest option- the guardhouse. Your form flows swiftly through the night until you come to its window; a single candle flickers inside as before. Sleeping forms occupy each bed. The slow, steady beats of their hearts call to you, and you quietly open the door and slip inside.

The forms on the beds vary in size; three seem to be children, four women, and three men. Probably not guards, then. That hardly matters; you hunger and they can sate you. You slip to the bedside of the largest man, whose form is likely to hold the most blood, and sink your fangs into his neck, muffling his cries as he awakens with a hand.

The agony in your face melts away in a wave of euphoria. Life floods your mouth, and you can feel all that is wrong with the world disappearing in an instant in the purity and truth that is feeding. Your sense of time vanishes.

Abruptly, your head is torn free from the man and your form is thrown against the wall of the guardhouse with a crash. The sound startles everyone inside awake, and amid the sudden babble of voices and your fading high you look up to see Rhiannon standing above the man you were devouring, a wrathful expression on her face.

What do you do?

Shame we can't feed on Adrienne. After all, she is sentient. And to blame for our current condition.

...

Let's feed on her anyway. She won't be expecting it. And if it doesn't help us... well vengeance is an evil trait the master might approve of.

>>7458178
Fireball.

Lay there and take it, preferable sobbing and wallowing in self pity.

It's not like the mute scholar is going to kill us for this. Show some remorse and she'll probably show mercy.

Plus, it's not like we can take her anyway.

>>7458178
Ask why she is so angry and look confused.

>>7458178
I stare in confusion, in disbelief. Wasn't this one our ally? What could we have done to earn her wrath? Aren't all humans for feeding? Or are these ones special to her?

>>7458205
She did nothing but help us. Attempt to inquire as to her anger (damn mutes..) and explain the situation.

>>7458178
Try and come to our senses, if possible. Hopefully we're full for now, and doubly hopefully our 'meal' isn't dead. And thank Rhiannon for breaking us out of our bloodlust, no matter her anger.

Sing Rhiannon.

>>7458205
Your only offensive spell is an energy missile. Actually, that's your only spell period.

>>7458214 >>7458234
>>7458238 >>7458256
>>7458258
You stay seated on the floor, feeling tears well up in your eyes as you fight through the haze of confusion and lingering bliss. Why was she so angry? She'd never implied that these people were anything to her- never even mentioned them! You try to project your confusion at her.

Her jaw tightens, but she doesn't move. The humans all around, realizing what's going on, are moving so that they are behind Rhiannon, with the children in the back. The man you were feeding on is gasping and clutching his throat, with one of the women looking distraught over him. You realize that these people are hers, and not to be touched, although you have no idea if she placed that thought in your mind or you concluded it on your own.

A moment later, you realize something else. This is the first time you've ever fed on a human and they've lived through it. You feel a pulse of joy- real joy, not the limitless bliss that comes from feeding. If people can stay alive when you're done with them, you're not nearly as bad of a monster! You try to send your emotions at Rhiannon, but aren't sure if it worked.

Regardless, you find yourself getting up and leaving the building- an obvious use of vampiric powers of control on you, something Rhiannon has not done since the day you began to befriend her. The door closes behind you, and you hear the humans begin to speak to the red-haired vampire in a babble of confused and worried voices.

What do you do now?

Suck some guards! There is the option of wringing out andrienne. She might be in bad shape after the hand thing.

>>7458409
Told you we should have summoned a pixie.

>>7458409

lets find the man we rescued earlier, Tell him to find our boyfriend and hurry back.

>>7458431
She only needs one hand to kick our ass. We require additional trenchcoated imps.

>>7458409
Remain outside and wait for her to return. Deeper answers must be sought, and while a lingering hunger remains, it is sated enough that our head has cleared - besides, where else could we go? Back to the torments and humiliations of the Master's lair and his pet bitch? Hardly. We should remain close to Rhiannon - we need allies, and right now, she's all we've got, even if right now she is angry with us for "stealing from her stash".

>>7458452
First this and then

>>7458465

This quest took a turn for the better after the drop on porn

>>7458409
Wait outside the building for Rhiannon. We need to explain to her/apologise, and don't want 'bad Blood' to develop between us.'

>>7458524

We started crying and left the room. That's apologies enough.

let's run through the woods. The bitch is likely finding a rusty scalpel right now to pay us back for her humilation and sitting idly on her doorstep wouldn't be the wisest.

>>7458452 >>7458465
>>7458486 >>7458524
You pause a moment. Rhiannon seemed very angry, but you still need to speak with her- she's the only friend you've got. Still, based on the voices inside, she'll be probably be busy with those people for a few minutes. You might have time to go after the adventurer, and if you don't go now, eventually he'll stop bleeding and you won't be able to track him. Better to move quickly, then come back once you've given him a message.

Trusting in your vampiric speed, you dash off into the forest. The scent of blood draws you along, stirring your hunger, through not enough that you'll lose control. It takes you less than a minute to catch up to the man, although it's obvious that he's been moving as fast as he could- moving through in the dense forest at night, his progress is hardly faster than a casual walk.

You move to stand before him. "Please get my boyfriend and hurry back."

He starts and drops into a combat crouch. His form is much better than yours, but it's ruined by the fact that he's squinting into the forest, obviously barely able to make you out. "Your boyfriend? What? Who are you?"

You don't really want to bother with him much longer; Rhiannon could be leaving at any time. "Ask your companions about it. Good luck in your escape." With that, you're moving back to the castle and waiting for Rhiannon to emerge.

It is nearly twenty minutes before she exits the building. She doesn't look at you as she moves for the passage back underground, strolling along as though she were a human out for a walk. You move to walk beside her. "Rhiannon, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to- Adrienne peeled the skin from my face! I was starving, and they were... I don't want to kill people, you know. Thank you for stopping me."

She doesn't stop moving, but you feel thoughts which aren't yours emerging in your mind, spiced with the red-haired bride's anger. You are responsible for your own actions, and using hunger as an excuse is foolishness. You either let Adrienne torture you every night or are too weak to stop her; leaving you without a convenient source of nourishment is an obvious move on her part that you should have made arrangements for. The people who live in this castle are Rhiannon's, and are not touched because she tears apart any other bride who intends to prey on them- images of dismembered women, each with the pale skin and glassy eyes of a vampire marring their beauty, flash through your mind.

Rhiannon will let this pass once, but never again. You are a vampire now; get used to it and grow strong. Do not speak with her again tonight or she will be displeased.

With that, she vanishes swiftly into the library, leaving you standing once again in the main underground chamber. The flesh of your face hurts dully; it must have only partially regenerated, since you did not drain the man fully. Still, it is tolerable. What will you do?

>>7458856
Try to arrange a more permanent source of blood for the future, as she suggested. Perhaps summon some monster who's only purpose will be to feed you like a plant or something

porn nao?

>>7458929
we should focus on this tomorow, try to see if we can summon a blood imp or something. to establish a steady source of blood without having to murder humans would probably be good for sanity, it would also help show our boyfriend we are not completely a monster.

>>7458929
You decide Rhiannon is right- you need to be able to feed yourself, or you'll never be able to break free of Adrienne's sadistic grip. Since you've been learning summoning, the obvious thing to do is to summon up your... meals. You move to the library and pull out your summoning texts, and spend some time looking through them. You'll either need to bind whatever it is very strongly, or risk its trying to escape instead of letting you feast on it.

After some time looking through options, you grow frustrated and give up. You simply don't know spells of enough complexity to summon anything large and powerful which could feed you well. You'll be stuck with various tiny servants for now, and it would take several of them to sate your hunger- at least five, if you wish to keep them alive afterwards. You can probably develop a stronger binding spell, though; it would come at the expense of time which they would be forced to serve you, but if you're calling them up with intent to eat within the next day or so that hardly matters.

A few hours remain in the night; you could try to summon something, develop the stronger binding mentioned, or do something else. What do you do?

>>7459081
For now, rest and gather our thoughts. Savor what moments we can of finally having some time, however brief, without Master's cruel gaze or That Bitch's sadistic mutilations.

>>7459081
Develop the stronger bindings, I assume. Having a specialized summon for the purpose of feeding only looks like a good idea

We should also inspect the surrounding forest and think about finding human servants who will give their blood willingly. We should ask Rhiannon tomorrow if she would help us protect some servants from Adrienne, since we lack the power at the moment. Also we should ask the master if we are free to leave the castle for short amounts of time.

>>7459210
I doubt the asshole cares

>>7458856
can we seek an audience with the master at all?

>>7459246

Its a formality. It will please him if we ask for his permission.

>>7459274
dunno

he seems more inspired by our fondness for rebellion than any mewling. He probably has people "asking" for all kinds of shit all the time.

I say we just fucking leave. I'm still scratching my head as to why we're sticking around here at all. We've got a sado bitch that rips our face off, an indifferent master, a mute friend, and a bunch of humans we can't even eat. This castle fucking sucks. It's time to blow this joint.


Also, search the library for a book on summoning a doppleganger so that we don't have to deal with this bullshit the next time a torture session is on the schedule.

>>7459153
>>7459188
>>7459210
You've had enough of these books for a while. It seems that all your time not consumed by pain and horror is spent on them. You leave the castle and move into the forest, breaking into a run. Your eyes effortlessly pick out the easiest path in spite of the pitch darkness, ears bring to you the sounds of hundreds of nocturnal creatures that you would never have noticed a month past, and you can smell a thousand subtle scents on the wind. Your legs propel you forward with a speed that you doubt the swiftest deer could match. You revel in the sensation of being free, even if it's just for a moment.

Eventually you slow to a stop. There are human villages around here, you know, but no roads lead to or from the castle to give you an indication where they are. Looking for them will likely take some significant effort, either on your part or that of your servants.

Thoughts of the creatures you've summoned bring you back to practical considerations, and you let the pull of your servants' bindings show you where the castle is. You had traveled a remarkable distance for a mere hour or so, you realize upon your return. You could probably run hundreds of miles over the course of a night.

Back in the library, you reference the texts again and again and propose your revised spell to the mimir, who spends the better part of an hour explaining in detail every minor flaw in your design. Annoyed, you proceed to fix each error that you can and attempt to compensate for the ones you can't, working until you feel the sunrise upon you.

***

Another night as one of the dead. You can hear the soft sound of rain in the castle above. What will you do?

>>7459255
The master isn't generally around. He only drops by every night or two, and then rarely for more than a couple hours at a time.

>>7459311
Doppelgangers would require a much stronger spell to summon than you currently have available. It would probably take weeks to learn enough to summon one, although if you're willing to spend those weeks it could happen.

Hmmm, Any reason we can't feed off of animals in the forest? A deer could probably sate our hunger and survive, given it's size. Or does the prey have to be sentient and thinking?

(Good to see this again.)

Command servants to locate the human village.

What happened to the potion Rihannon gave us the recipe for? We should try out that.

>>7459473
What you know of vampire lore indicates that they only feed on humanoids. That said, that literature was written from a highly anti-vampire perspective. It also indicated that they are evil in the extreme without exception and should be destroyed whenever found, so you can't imagine they spent much time doing research on the practical aspects of day-to-day vampire life.

>>7459528
Well, I say we try it. With our speed and strength, catching a deer should be relatively easy. We try to feed and see if it works. Actually, trying now might be a good idea, since we can tell if it works by seeing if our face heals afterwords.

>>7459579
Except for THE SUN

>>7459609
If it's light out then we'd be asleep. Since we're awake, I assume it's night time. If it's close to dawn we can try tomorrow.

>>7459579 >>7459506
You ascend into the castle courtyard, calling your servants to you. The imp and sprite have been gradually locating various herbs over the last few days, relocating some of them to unobtrusive patches in the castle courtyard and marking the location of others in the wilderness. They should be able to mix up most drugs and poisons that you could want in relatively short order by now.

You have a new task for them, though. "You two. I need to know more about the surrounding area. Find all the human villages you can; be able to guide me to them should I ask."

The sprite bows and the imp nods vigorously, so you wave them off. You have other tasks before you. You dash through the wilderness, moving at speeds that make parting the rain before you a constant, lightly forceful sensation. Your vampiric senses make finding an animal trivial- you decide to go right for something large, and quickly run down a deer. As you tear open its throat and begin to suck down its blood, a sensation of glee washes over you. It tastes wonderful, though flavored very differently from human blood. You drain the deer until all you can taste is water, then lie on its corpse letting the rain run over you as the haze of pleasure fade.

When it does, though, you realize that your face still stings. Though it may have tasted good, the blood of an animal can do nothing to heal you.

What will you do now?

>>7459709
Rage over my unjust and badly designed curse.

>>7459709
So it doesn't heal us. But did it satiate our hunger? Because if it did, I'd call that a success; healing can be accomplished through summoned servants, but in case we desperately need a fix like last night, we can go for animal blood.

>>7459709
Is there a reason why we wouldn't leave ? People in that castle are total dicks, peeling our face and fangblocking us, I say we should try to get out of there.

>>7459796
I assume Bitch will hunt us down

Interest seems to be down for tonight. Perhaps you should cotinue the quest tomorrow?

>>7459820
So what ? We're fast, and we leave hardly a trace. And apparently, we can easily get a night or two before our escape is noticed.

>>7459752 >>7459755
>>7459796
You stand in the rain, feeling frustrated. Why couldn't animal blood have healed you? It would have made everything so much easier! What sadistic bastard designed this wretched curse, anyway, that it worked in this fashion? It was almost as though it was specifically designed to make your life miserable.

At least if you get really hungry again, you might be able to kill an animal instead of a human. That is some small consolation.

You think for a moment. What are you doing here? The vampire lord and Adrienne certainly aren't providing any reason to stay, and Rhiannon's arms-length friendship, assuming that she doesn't hate you for good over those humans in the guardhouse, isn't much of a reason for putting up with regular torture. You could just leave. Nothing's really stopping you from trying it, though someone might hunt you down.

What do you do?

>>7459920
Head for the mountains, and try to find a cave to spend the next day.

Do I get the feeling of the coming dawn ? Would clothes protect me from the sun ?

>>7459920
stay for now. we still have much to learn on magic and summoning, and we aren't strong enough to prevent us from being tracked down anyway.

>>7459975
Seconded

No, the castle has the LIBRARY where we can learn KNOWLEDGE of SUMMONING SHIT.

If we choose to give up potential godmode knowledge for temporary comfort, we deserve either.

Endure the torture, find a source for food, and continue learning about how to summon something that can burn the whole fucking castle down.
That'll show that one bitch.

What ever happened to that WISH scroll we had?

>>7459997
>either
>neither

goddamnit

Find boyfriend's friend. Ask him for help in finding boyfriend (afterall you did save his life). Petition whatever holy order there is in the land to march on Dickula's castle.

>>7459997
I suppose there could be a library around where we could study without getting tortured.
We have no reason to fight over the castle.

I think. Why does rhiannon stay by the way ? Did we ever asked ?

>>7460080
look, the point is, this really isn't that bad.

The castle library probably has all sorts of shit that other libraries don't offer, things on summoning, magic, the occult, etc etc etc.
Usefull stuff.

Also, we don't have to worry about a nosy librarian deducing our nature and sicking the fuzz on us by surprise.

We currently have ONE problem, and it's that bitch with a hard-on for torture. If we can get rid of or fix her, the castle would be a fine place to grow a little.

>>7460061
We already asked for the hero like a good damsel. I say fuck it, we're the PC here.
Plus, the holy order, or maybe the boyfriend, would probably destroy us if it gets a chance. Avoiding lawful good people seems like the right thing to do from now on.

>>7459975
You've never been above ground past sunrise, so you're not sure if clothes would protect you, but the predawn light that you've been exposed to causes an itching sensation all over your skin.

>>7460011
Taken by the vampire lord after he turned you.

>>7459975 >>7459990
>>7459986 >>7459997
You find yourself torn. On the one hand, you want nothing more than to dash away- find a cave somewhere isolated where you could spend your days, in peace and away from all this. But on the other hand, you know that fleeing will leave you just as you are now, and it wouldn't be much of an existence alone in the wilderness. There is power to be gained in the library here, if you can manage to endure long enough to gain it.

>>7460061
>>7460080
But there is power elsewhere, too, and you have at least one place that you could go- after the man you helped to escape. He'd be some distance away by now, and the rain will have washed away his scent, but you might be able to find him if you go looking in the general direction he went.

Only one question holds you back. What is Rhiannon still doing here? Why doesn't she leave as well? She has the library and seems to like it, certainly, but that hardly seems like a reason to put up with Adrienne... though Adrienne hardly acknowledges her red-haired counterpart's existence. Perhaps one last conversation before making a final decision is in order.

What do you do?

>>7460011
The head vampire dude took it and used it already.

>>7460151
Which is why we are hoping for another Wish, Miracle or True Resurrection spell, so that we can be brought back into the land of the living once they have slain us. If boyfriend had one scroll, and he still cares for us, he can hopefully get another.

>>7460117
This is a world with vampires and sorceress and heroes. Libraries without stuff about magic and the occult should be rare.

And there's not only one problem. Even if it's not as painful as torture, I don't want to stick around someone who calls me "pet". Humans are minions, rhiannon is selfish, and heroes will be coming back to destroy everything anyway. Really, I'd leave.

>>7460166
One option is Redemption... good gods will take in evil beings all the time as long as they can prove themselves. That with any luck will offer you protection from them, the only problem is those sins you've commited may hold you back, so lets go out and start saving puppies from drowning and rescuing children from burning buildings.

>>7460166
Hm. Okay, we'll leave another day.
We'll use a little time to ask rhiannon's explanations aabout the place and herself (why didn't she told us the people here were hers ?), and see what we could take to help our escape. Also, is there any particularily useful tome in that library we would like to steal ?

>>7460166
lets go find Rhiannon and get some answers.

See if she is looking for an apprentice or if she would be willing to train us in the dark arts.
But don't ask her for direct help, we can't come off as a weakling begging to be saved, we have to stand up for ourselves.

I'm not ready for redemption personally. We can feed on animals, and sentient beings without killing them. Our boyfriend don't care about us, we seem to be able to endure just about anything, so a little hunger or occasional loneliness isn't a problem. And we planned to become a villain anyway.

Now we've got eternal youth, with much less physical limits than before, and power. We should profit.

>>7460420
We only planned to become a villain in the first place to draw our boyfriend's attention. Our sole motivation (was, at least) love.

>>7460420
We wanted to be a villain so that bf would finally be forced to notice us. And since when did he stop caring about us? he probably doesn't realize we've been captured. Once his friend tells him I'm sure he'll be on his way.

>>7460450
Oh shi- someone get the goddess of love on the phone, she will lend us her power.

Which reminds me - why the fuck run when the Cavalry and some lawful hot dicking is coming our way?

>>7460466
He never started caring about us, apparently. That's understandable, there's much to care about in this world, but our relationship as a human with him still isn't satisfying. Why would we change our plans now ?
Maybe we could make him an undead too after a while. If not, that's a good occasion to meet new people instead of waiting for him in our kitchen.

>>7460541
We were in a relationship for 6 or so years IIRC, but he was always too busy saving the world and fighting evil. He is a hero of legend and we love (or loved) him.

I see no motivation for our character to become a power-hungry bitch

>>7460508
Because we're on the bad side of the stake, and because the dickings are too rare.

>>7460574
the idea was to become the BBEG of the boyfriends next adventure.

In other words, force him to acknowledge us, so that as we bleed out on his blade our final words will be "at least you finally noticed I'm not in the kitchen any more"

>>7460541
Didn't he, though? He cared for us, we just worried that he spent too much time out, away from us, living the life of an adventurer and righting wrongs. It was jealousy, perhaps... but we just wanted more, wanted all of him.

>>7460602
I was under the impression we were to force him to retire and spend his time with us instead.

>>7460574
The initial motivation is to gain the interest of the hero. Plus it'll feel better than waiting around until he dies or ascend.

>>7460574
Holy crap, someone who can separate their own wants for the quest and the motivations of the character?!?! You sir, are a rarity. Along with >>7460450

Personally I found the heroine compelling because of her all too human motivation, and not being some epic badass/supreme being/chaotic stupid mofo. The thought just made me daww

>>7460602
Step 1: Become vampire
Step 2: Let boyfriend know were slave to his arch enemy.
Step 3: Kill boyfriends arch enemy in front of him
Step 4: Become BBEG
Step 5: ????
Step 6: Marrige

Gah, had to get the phone; sorry for the delay, all.

>>7460266
You consider attempting to have the gods take mercy on you, but Rhiannon's case comes all too quickly to mind. She turned to the gods for salvation, and received only injury.

>>7460190
You've never heard of someone being resurrected after being turned into any sort of undead creature; all the stories about it seem to end with them being destroyed and the ones who did it being hailed as heroes. You're not exactly a scholar, though.

>>7460310
>>7460312
You go looking for Rhiannon, hoping to learn more of her and of the place. She is as easy to find as ever, curled up with a book in a luxurious chair. As you approach, she looks at you levelly; you don't earn the smile that you might have in days past. "I was wondering... Rhiannon... what are you doing here? What is this place, why do you have people living in the courtyard, and why didn't you just tell me not to touch them from the start?"

She gets up and walks to a bookshelf, the only one in the main chamber, and withdraws a tome which you recognize as one in which she makes occasional entries. As she hands it to you, you are struck by sudden understanding that the vampire lord does not allow his spawn to grow close to one another. Rhiannon typically avoids communication for that reason. She had more than half expected you to be gone by now; many of the brides brought here are dead insane dead within days.

>>7460677
.... Could we befriend the bitch that totures us to take her out?

You open the book at the beginning, and quickly recognize that it is in a language you do not know. Almost every page bears a small image of a woman, all beautiful and most in despair. A few contain additional pictures after them, each of the same woman looking much more collected and different- some regal, some feral, some cruel or half-mad. Those pages with only one portrait tend to bear only a few lines of text. It's a record of every vampire bride Rhiannon has known. The eighth volume. She gestures, and you realize that the four bookmarks between the pages are those who still live- four, of over a hundred in this volume alone. It appears that vampire brides are much more disposable than one would think from the name.

Rhiannon takes the book and restores it to its place, then looks at you. You feel her words in your mind again- she is here because she has nowhere else to go. The castle has been her family's for a very long time, and now she and Bryden are the last withered branch of the bloodline. The people in the castle above are remnants of those whose families have served them for generations on end, who stayed with them after the slaughter.

Then she goes back to reading.

You move to the library. There are dozens of tomes that could prove useful to you, should you wish to take them with you when you flee; information on many types of magic, history, geography, and much more. You should consider carefully which if any to take, and if you should flee right now at all.

What do you do?

>>7460661
Same here.

>>7460677
>dead insane dead

Damn, that's harsh. Insane and dead twice over?

>>7460677
We greatfully read Rhiannon's tome, though are prepared to hand it back to her right away should she even think the thought. Merely lending us her book after what we did is a kindness in itself.

>>7460721

first undead, then insane, then dead undead.

>>7460704
I wouldn't, because she is too close to her master to be an interesting person. And he would intervene if we tried despite of this.

IMO, we should wait for the hero and gather lore meanwhile in hope of eventually overwhelming the bitch

>>7460706
I cast Magic Missile on Rhiannon.

>>7460706

Ask Rhiannon before even thinking of taking one of them. She's a total bookworm, and these books have likely been part of her castle and heretige for generations. Only if there's something she can bare to loose should we even think of taking anything from the castle.

Of course; if she's fine with it, we load up on magic books and folklore.

>>7460797
DURHUR I STAB THE GUARD

>>7460677
>>7460706
well that isn't very good news.


We have to find a way to deal with torture-girl. Ask Rhiannon about Adrienne's origins: when she was turned, who she was as a mortal, how old she is, and what she does on a daily basis in the castle to be specific.

Get a book about local geography and look into local towns villages, we need to establish hunting grounds.

Summon our minions for an update on their task and suggestions as to the best places to hunt.

Food is our number 1 priority, if we are not well fed we will never be strong enough to accomplish anything.

>>7460812
That and give us a status on what we know and what we can do. (powers and such)

>>7460812
OH idea learn how to summon TINY water elemental bless it and turn the water into holy water have it jump down the bitches throat.

>>7460706
Ask her about our condition. How much do sun affects us and what can we use to block its effect ? Is there any way to alleviate the curse or lift it ?

Then take notes about relevant geography.

>>7460812
alternatively, Ask Rhiannon to translate the pages in her logbook related to Adrienne.

That should get us the info we need.

>>7460887
Actually, that could be a pretty cool idea

1) Learn spell to quickly turn water to holy water
2) Take a mouthful of water next time she calls us
3) Spit it on her
4) Cast spell
5) Gank her with out demonic armies as she burnnnnnnsssssssss
6) ???
7) Dead bitch

>>7460887
I doubt we would be able to bless water.

>>7460887
That actually sounds awesome.

>>7460887
Doubt it would work against head vampire as he could just dispel it, however that bitch should burn in the most agonizing way possible. Its about time we heard her scream.

>>7460721
Sorry, my proofing process is imperfect.

>>7460804
You ask Rhiannon if she would let you take some of the books with you, should you go traveling. You get an immediate sense that she would strongly prefer that they stay in the castle, and that she would be willing to pursue you to recover them if necessary. Though she does smile, seemingly glad that you bothered to ask.

>>7460812
You ask next about Adrienne. "Rhiannon... if you have all these notes on the vampires, do you have some on Adrienne?" She nods. "Could you translate it for me?" It takes a long moment before her answer comes, but when it does, it is positive; she will find the time to put those pages in a language you can understand sometime in the next couple days.

That done, you send her a sense of gratitude and go into the courtyard to call for your minions. It takes them a few minutes to arrive from the forest. "Have you located any human villages so far?"

The assassin imp looks annoyed. "Mistress, it's been a couple hours! Lucky I could locate my own ass in that amount of time, this weather."

The sprite, however, nods. "I am familiar with the location of two enclaves, should you wish to be guided there. Neither contains more than two hundred people."

Well, that's something. You have the bulk of the night before you and have not yet seen Adrienne; what do you do?

>>7460924
Oh come on, we can run on the Rule of Cool for once.

>>7461014
Learn Summon TINY water elemental and bless water

>>7461014
>>7460887

>>7461015
Why don't we search the villiages first? We could see if there are any churches/priests in the area to bless the water for us before we try going down a path that might just be a huge waste of time.

>>7461123
Oh sure, a vampire visiting a church. What could possibly go wrong?

Find village
Feed til STRONG
TORTURE BITCH 1 v 1

>>7461123
I can see it now...

"Mr. Priest, can I have some holy water?"

"Avaunt thee, hellspawn! Brother, raise the alarm, there's a vampire seeking our churches supplies! In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, away with you!"

Yeah, let's not and say we did.

>>7461014
have the sprite take us to the nearest village.

then
>>7461123

Then, once we have a bottle/vial/skin of holy water safely in our possession, we look for a local constable to raid and feed on a convict. Nobody cares about convicts.

Also, we should have our imp and sprite hang out in a tavern (aka listen in through a window, hide in the rafters, etc) and listen for bar-talk of bandits or raiders. If we find a camp of bad guys, we've found a gold mine of food that we can have with little negative consequences.

>>7461157
>>7461181

Or... you know... you could just lie to the priest. Catch him when he's outside of church and ask him to bless some water for you. Tell him you're an adventurer seeking to do battle with some undead foe.

I think that confrontation is a bad idea without serious motives. Let's flee.

>>7461231
this.


Or you could even simply say you need to kill a vampire and omit the part about you being one as well.

I'm just saying, there are options here.

>>7461243
I was under the impression we were just biding time until BF got here

>>7461231
A pale woman with glassy eyes shows up at your church in the middle of the night and says she has business with a vampire. Considering a priest has an INT>3, what do you do?

>>7461231
>>7461250
In the last thread, OP said that i this setting vampires are pretty easy to spot, what with the glazed over eyes and the almost albino-like skin.

>>7461300
>>7461317

OKay Okay, revise the plan.

Once we establish contact with our bf, we can have him acquire holy water and give it to us. Could stage a 2-pronged attack on the castle, we douse the bitch and the lord with the god-juice, and bf storms the gates.

Thinking long-term here.

in the meantime, this >>7461220

Forget the boyfriend who didn't pay any attention to us. The only path left is power. The first step being learn everything and whatever we can from the library's occult books so we can easily destroy Adrienne.

>>7461300
Blessed water can't be used against the forces of good. So she'll use it for infighting among monsters. No reason not to support that.

>>7461383
You don't bite the hand that feeds you dumbass.

>>7461383
>Abandon actual love and six years of a relationship

Get the hell out and don't come back.

>>7461393
Adrienne is the torture bitch

Rhiannon is the mute-bro/castle historian.

We don't really have much choice in the adrienne situation, it's either kill or be tortured ad infinitum

>>7461407
This. Stay in character

>>7461393
Yes you do, when you're a vampire.

But adrienne's hand do not feed us.

>>7461295
No. We're trying to become the BBEG so that he finally takes the time to stick something in our body.

I need to go to sleep. Is this going to get archived anywhere?

>waitingforOPskeleton.jpeg

>>7461450
I was speaking in a metaphorical way. She's the only one to help us, you don't kill someone who helps you. Even BBEG's need allies.

>>7461457
Most likely sup/tg/.

>>7461450
Hmmm, y'know, it's not really necrophilia if we're still sentient and moving...

>>7461049 >>7461123
>>7461160 >>7461220
You decide that you don't particularly want to stick around in the castle and study, since Adrienne will probably come looking for you soon. Instead, you command the sprite to guide you to the nearest of the villages. "As you command, Lady," he says as he starts moving. He cannot move as quickly as you through the brush, but you are fairly certain that you are making much quicker progress than a human as the two of you move along with the imp in tow.

After the better part of an hour, the dense forest begins to grow sparse, then stops abruptly and a large field, filled with half-grown crops, stretches before you. The sprite proceeds forward confidently, so you continue to follow as you pass several small farms and eventually come to a small cluster of buildings dominated by a church.

The large structure gives you a thought. Holy water is anathema to vampires by everything you've read- perhaps you could get a priest to make you some? You move towards the church, thinking to walk in and find the clergyman no doubt within, but as your hand touches the door you find yourself hissing and leaping backwards with unnatural speed. Where your hand touched the doorknob, a large burn now lies; it seems that even the very structure of a holy building will reject you.

Behind you, the assassin imp chuckles. "Business in there, Dark Mistress? I can get rid of the priest for you, if you're worried he might pull somethin'."

What do you do?

>>7461543
WTF? She's the one who's been torturing us! How has she helped? Or did you get her and Rhiannon, the librarian, mixed up?

>>7461450
The good thing is, whatever he sticks in us now that we're a vampire is bound to be wood.

>>7461561
Oh god, how did I not see this? Get the imp to steal a vile of holy water.

>>7461531
I wandered off to have dinner without telling you guys. I'm just a dick like that, I guess. Back now though.

>>7461569
you fucker, goddamnit

got me

>>7461590
this

and
>>7461591
Please archive it somewhere so I can read it later

>>7461561
>>7461561

can we look for a town notice board of some sort? Look for a sheriff's office with a bounty board or something.

We need to find some minor bad men to feast on.
Also, have the imp steal some holy water. I'm guessing we wont even be able to touch the stuff, so he'll have to hold onto it for us but at least we will have some.

>>7461590

No. Shit might go wrong or the priest might get suspicious about stuff going missing. Go back to castle, grab something that looks reasonably expensive but not good enough to be missed and sell it to anyone for a reasonable fee. Head to tavern and pay someone to get you some holy water. Payment comes only after Holy Water is delivered.

>>7461590
>a vile of holy water

So you want unholy water?

>>7461648
Once we get back, we can hide it somewhere and when the time is right, Imp goes invisible and while what's-her-face is torturing us she can pour the holy water on her, then flee. Take that!

>>7461685
That is so stupidly convoluted. Fuck, what could go wrong? Oh no, someone took some holy water! Worst comes to worst and she gets found out, we run and everyone just thinks it's an Imp playing a trick.

>>7461692
My bad. Vial.

>>7461725
Seconding this. It's just some holy water.

>>7461590
After a moment's consideration, you nod to the imp. "Business, but not killing. I need you to steal some holy water and bring it to me."

It looks at you, puzzled. "What? But you're a vampire. It would- oh, right. Plotting inevitable betrayal, how could I forget? Can do, Mistress. Might take a bit if you want it done quietlike; I'll have to find a flask somewhere." With that, the imp flies off through the rain, apparently attempting its infiltration through the church's upper windows.

>>7461648
You turn to the sprite. "Is there a tavern or other public building here?"

He looks around. "I did not really investigate the town. You only instructed me to locate it, Lady."

"I shall look about myself, then." It does not take long; there are only a few dozen structures in the entire village, and only a handful are lit inside. Of these, only one is fairly sizable and with faint sounds of cheerful voices emerging from inside, even at this late hour. That is likely the best place to find information here.

What do you do?

>>7461765
At the risk of lowering the tone of the quest, what are we wearing?

>>7461786
You are currently wearing a high-quality but plain black robe, very suitable for comfort during your largely studious existence and easy to remove to avoid its getting bloody in the event that someone wishes to flay your skin off. It is somewhat less suitable for moving through the forest at night or being remotely modest when soaked to the skin. It has acquired some mud, but no damage that you can see, from your recent ventures.

>>7461842

How much skin is exposed and does it have a hood?

>>7461786
This, and can we pass as a human ?

>>7461867
>>7461874
It is cut quite modestly; you chose it from the available clothing partly for that reason. You have enough problems in your life without feeling that you're dressed like a whore. It does not have a hood.

You don't know if you could pass as human. The castle in which you are imprisoned contains no mirrors, and you don't know if they'd work for you even if it did; you've heard conflicting lore on that point. Your skin is extremely pale, but a human out in this rain for any length of time would likely have caught a chill and be pale as well. The rain would likely conceal your hair's dead hue as well. Your eyes... you've never seen your eyes after you died, but those of the vampires you know are immediately identifiable as not belonging to the living, unless perhaps the person in question was blind.

>>7461765
take a peak in through a window

Damn. We should probably learn some sort of spell to look different. Mimic someone of another spell that'll hide out appearance(I suggest picking the easiest one).

>>7461965
You move closer to the building and peer in through the window. It seems that perhaps fifteen men and ten or so women are seated inside, drinking and laughing around several large tables. Two more young women are speaking to an older man standing behind a bar; presumably they are the staff.

Looking carefully, you do not see many weapons, although a few religious symbols placed on the walls attract your eye- that is quite unusual for a tavern.

get minions to do extended reconnaissance in the village, get an animal to sate hunger, get back to the castle and try to study disguise spells and further summoning.

>>7462059

Sounds like the village is prepared for Vampires. How far away is the 2nd village?

>>7462059
they probably know to be worried about vampires in these parts, seems a little dangerous.

>>7462059
Well they *do* live within a few hours walk (for them) of a vampire-infested castle. I don't blame them for being cautious.

>>7462128
Exactly. They're ready for us, so we need to get ready to go into town. Our familiar will get is the holy water as a failsafe, and we shouldn't come back until we can reliably disguise ourself and perhaps have a spell to get out fast if bad shit goes down.

>>7462165
Sounds like a good plan to me.

>>7462128 >>7462103 >>7462093
Deciding that this village is likely aware of and prepared for the vampires who live nearby, you move away from the window and speak to your sprite. "How far from here is the second village you spoke of?"

He thinks for a moment, then replies. "No more than half an hour, even in this weather. It is much like this one, so far as I could tell."

You pause for a moment and consider. Your imp will complete his task and return to you on his own, and you don't want to risk talking to these people unless they would be unlikely to recognize you for what you are. That would require some sort of illusion magic; surely there are texts on that in the castle library?

With nothing left to do here, you tell the sprite to spend some time spying on this village as well as finding such others as he can, and use your connection to the mimir left in the library to find your way back to the castle. The journey does not take long.

You make your way downstairs, dripping wet, and change into a fresh robe before asking Rhiannon if there are any books on illusion and disguise in the library. She mentally provides you with a few locations in which to start looking.

As you thank her and turn to go investigate them, you realize that Adrienne has left to go looking for you. The thought sends a shiver down your spine, and it only grows worse when you realize that it was a telepathic tip from Rhiannon.

What do you do?

>>7461561
Get imp to grab holy water FOR us.

>>7462251
It can be running time now?

>>7462251
Okay, that might have been a poor place to leave it, as it was basically "do you want to change your action?" No wonder there's little player response. My bad. Continuing.

***
You shake off your trepidation at the thought that Adrienne has departed on a wild goose chase, and move to undertake your planned research in the library. You locate a beginner's text on the foundations of illusions without much difficulty, but after about an hour it seems clear to you that it will take at least a week of study to perfect a disguise spell that you can hold for more than a handful of minutes. You simply don't have much knowledge to work off of.

Nevertheless, you bend your mind to the task, and the the hours pass you begin to get a sense for the specific topics that you'll need to make sure you have down when constructing the spell- a small but necessary first step.

As you begin to feel that sunrise will be soon, you hear the door to the stairs in the main chamber open and close. That must be Adrienne. You mark your place and put the book you were working on away.

You reach the entrance to the library to find her standing there, dripping wet and looking almost angry enough to make up for that indignity. "You have behaved quite badly today, you worthless toy. Forcing me to spend hours looking for you in this weather? There might not be much time left before sunrise, but I think you'll spend it screaming."

What do you do?

>>7462427
Blast, didn't see this. Ah well.

>>7462528
Enogh of her silly interruptions. Punch her in the nose and be done with it.

>>7462528
Shit do we have the holy water
If we do cast a minor spell to turn it into an elemental and fling it at her (preferably her face, eyes, or open mouth.)

>>7462557
It's okay. I've done the same thing many times. Long posts make you miss replies. It's cool. But fuuuuuuuuuuuuck Adrienne's pissed.

No! We can't do jack shit to her, she still can probably control us with her vampire mind control stuff.It would be best to take it a few more times, then use our illusion and escape spells to hide from that bitch for a while. Till we can kick her arse.

>>7462631
We are going to need a LOT more preparation first. Go along, then kill her deader later.

>>7462724
>>7462664
Exactly. Nothing to do than do along with it.

She's going to torture us whether we like it or not. But we should still give resistance as we do usually, so that they don't lose interest in us. We need to buy more time to learn enough from the spell books and get everything we need like the holy water to set our eventual plans in motion.

>>7462582
So far, this has always resulted in failure. Lets not.

Don't do anything, is there anything we even can do? If we could come up with some kind of excuse or retort then that would be good, but nothing comes to mind.

Just follow her and get it over with, we'll have revenge one day. One of these days...

>>7462740
Who said anything about killing. I just want the satisfaction of throwing a punch at her.

>>7462754
Exactly. We will bide our time, and when we're ready...

>>7462528
Smile politely.
"I must say that it's quite a compliment to find that such a terrifying monster of the night has reduced itself to be my shadow, fruitlessly chasing after me to fulfil some missing void in her pointless unlife. But enough talk of you clinging to me to protect yourself from the emptiness inside, you'd best get out of those wet clothes before sunrise. You wouldn't want to disappoint the master by looking like more of a streetrat whore than you already do, would you?"

If we're going to get tortured, let's deserve it first.

>>7462631
Your imp has yet to return with the holy water. You're not sure what's taking it so long, but other matters have been occupying your attention. Regardless, you don't know any spells to animate the elements.

>>7462582
>>7462664
Defiantly, you fling yourself forward with the intention of using all your unnatural strength to beat Adrienne's wretched face in, but she is ready. As you close to within striking range, she twists somehow and you feel a sharp blow on your chest that sends you smashing into the ceiling before falling heavily onto the ground.

Still, you're not that easy to dispose of. You begin to pull yourself to your feet, hoping that you'll be able to recover before she can take advantage of your injury, when you realize something very important.

There is no fighting allowed in the library.

You push yourself to your feet, and you and Adrienne both walk calmly out into the main chamber. Rhiannon is glaring at both of you. Then you can move again. Adrienne immediately hisses at Rhiannon, an expression of fury on her face. It seems that she resents being controlled in that fashion; who'd have guessed?

Regardless, you have a momentary advantage to seize here, should you choose to attack. Less than half an hour remains before sunrise. What do you do?

Look for obscure vampiric porn books in library, shlick repeatedly

>>7462793
this

Fight all the way to the rack. ALL the way.

Actually, thinking of retorts, in response to all that stuff she said before about making her come looking for you, we could say something like "Well, Adrienne, you did say that I gave a poor chase, I thought you enjoyed hunting me."

Say that, then kick her in the face.

>>7462833
>>7462883
This, never go down like a bitch.

Hump her leg

OP, if you would be so kind...

>>7462883 >>7462833
>>7462820 >>7462793
Adrienne seems occupied for the moment with Rhiannon, but you're not going to attack her physically again; she's demonstrated the pointlessness of that often enough. On the other hand, you can at least make fun of her. "Well, Adrienne, you did say yesterday that I gave you a poor chase, so I improved my chances. I must say that it's quite a compliment to find that such a terrifying monster of the night has reduced itself to my shadow."

She turns her expression to you, her angered face darkening even further, but you're not done just yet. You offer her as bright a smile as you can manage. "But enough talk of your clinging to me to protect yourself from the emptiness inside; you'd best get out of those wet clothes before sunrise. You wouldn't want to disappoint the master by looking even more like a streetrat whore."

She gives a shriek of fury and leaps for you, moving at a speed that would have caught you entirely off guard as a human. You are not human any longer, however, and manage to get your arms up to block her- claws!? When did she get those? The flesh of your arms is shredded as she flails at you, technique lost in fury. You struggle to protect yourself as she rips into you for minutes on end, gradually tearing chunks of flesh from your limbs and torso.

It is painful, and you are growing ever more hungry as your unholy energies cry out for blood to replace what they have lost, but it is incredibly satisfying. You are doing much better than in the past, and although you are losing the fight, you know that you are in control here- Adrienne is dancing to your tune.

Eventually, you know that it is after sunrise. Exhaustion takes your muscles, and apparently your opponent's as well, as she stops shrieking and tearing at you. With a final glare, she retreats to her sarcophagus, and as you enter your own your face bears a broad smile.

***

It is evening once again. You are extremely hungry, but not cripplingly so. What do you do?

>>7463092

Look for gold or jewels. Find young man or women, By blood. Why didn't we think of this earlier. Also continue to research illusion magic.

>>7463092
Drain another deer for our hunger, and summon a new minion or two to feed on so our wounds heal. We finished the thing so that they will let us do that, right?

>>7463092
See about that other village and our servants. Have they returned yet?

>>7463184
Bad idea to go out so close to sunrise...are there any rats or vermin you can munch on before sleep.

>>7463244
Do you even read the posts? WE JUST WOKE UP. IT IS THE BEGINNING OF NIGHT.

Go back to the village and try to drain a human, but not fatally, if we can avoid it. We're weak right now, so is Adrienne but she has access blood and can heal; we can't.

We might not make it though another fight unless we regain some strength, and that needs a person.

Also, we should probably avoid Adrienne today, if we can.

Go out and find another animal we can feed on. What is the status on the holy water?

>>7463288
Sorry your right my bad

>>7463376
>>7463184
I though feeding on animals only satiated our thirst for a while but it didn't help us heal.

A lot of posts in this thread, so I've made a new one: >>7463449

>>7463468
It doesn't, but at least we will be full enough to think clearly.

>>7463515
Ah yes I see, it's really easy to get a deer but it actually helps quite a bit.

Well why don't we kill a deer then pursue a humanoid to feed on.

I vote combat magic studying. Holy water will give us the advantage and some time while Adrienne is burning, but it might not be enough to finish her. We need to be able to throw a fireball or two in her face to seal the deal.
