With a furious roar wall of solid fire erupted between the beast and Simon stopping the beast in its tracks, Lesa moved next Simon, heat emanating from her body, white flames licking out of her eyes.
"Whilst I normally love getting to know beasts Simon and his gets do not fight alone"
"True my love" added Milosh as he too moved towards Simon's side, "However much you hate Carsteins Beast, however big or strong you are, even you will not be able to survive against three vampire lords, I suggest you reconsider or you will not walk out of here"
"Not only Lords" Lesa said, her aura had done its work, exerting her will, the Blood Knights and various other lower vampires stood up, ready to protect thier beloved mistress.

Drakki watched as all of this occured.
"Pax, all of you, Lesa, relase them."
He turned to Graveclaw.
"I feel like i know you, i recognise your blood, but this is not the time nor the place for fighting amongst ourselves. I am trying to forge an alliance, and there is place in it for such as you, but not if you attack other potential members."

"With all due respect Drakki, you do not command me, I stand by those I am allied to and will stand down once I know this thing will not attack" returned Lesa sharply.

 

[Simon von Carstein]

"What is it with you creatures?" said Simon "You keep on attacking me and each time I end up beating you to death with one of your arms." "If I keep surviving all these assasination attempts I'm going to have to hire myself out as a professional target."

Graveclaw clawed desperately at his owen face "Blood for Blood Blood for Blood" he says quietly breathing heavily he drops onto his haunches "kill my kin kill my friend kill me" he hissed glaring around balefully "but I get revenge I hunt their gets yes I drain them I kill all blood drinkers I is Graveclaw"He snarled to himself

Simon laughed "Can I keep him my Sariah just loves animals especially ones that babble."

As Graveclaw sat back Lesa lowered the fiery wall, she walked closer looking at him in interest. She had met a few Strigio in her time and he was by far the largest and also by far the most hateful although she could still sense a glimmer of intelligence inside.
"Tell me sweet" she crooned to hit, her soothing voice and aura calming it, "why are you here? I cannot see you wanting an alliance or have you come purely for revenge against von Carsteins? If this is so whilst the one behind me is out of bounds we may be able to offer the chance of gorging yourself on the blood of von Carsteins currently ruling Sylvania"
Milosh turned to Drakki his patience finally wearing thin, "You have not said whether you wish to ally with us against Mannfred, and Simon, if those assembled here wish to ally with us what is your opinion?"

Rask threw off Lesa's aura, still having just enough warpstone left in his system to do so. Quickly devouring some more, he addressed Lesa.
"In any two-way decisision, there are always three-three paths. I will follow my own path, and I will-will not be swayed from it."

"Poor thing its ill in the head most likely does not even know we can hear it talking someone put it out of its pain"Katrina said looking down at Graveclaw "Who would of known that the goulkings would sink so low"

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

Lesa was almost startled to her Rask answer what she asked a while ago, then she saw he had spent the time struggling and finally fighting against her aura,
"Well each to thier own" she said, "but I have something else in my attention now turning back to the huge Graveclaw who was still gibbering to himself.

 

[Ghouly]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

Graveclaw looks at Lesa "kill Carsssstein?" he asked "yesss kill all Carsssstein then kill all other blood drinkers then sun be nice to me let Graveclaw sleep".

 

[Simon von Carstein]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

A cold wind blew through the room as a figure materialised next to Simon. "Nar-Zuul!" exclaimed Simon "This isn't the first time we've talked about you materialising without warning." "Many apologies young master." "But the young mistress insisted that this couldn't wait." "She's not had another vision has she." asked Simon exasperated "Yes young master she bids you to beware the heirs of von Kronos"

Turning to the collected group Lesa said thoughtfully, " just pointing this beast in the direction of Mannfred would probably cause enough distraction to help our plans, you can see he is very old and if he has lived this long he must know how to take care of himself. It would be a fair bet that the destruction he would cause even if he was eventually destroyed would be great"

 

[Simon von Carstein]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

Simon came over to Milosh and Lesa carefully avoiding Graveclaw "I hate to break up the planning But I suspect trouble is coming this way my beloved has had one of her visions she's being delightfully cryptic about it but she's said enough to concern me." "Perhaps we could work out how to use this creature later."

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

"In that case we may take you up on your offer of drinks" answered Lesa, "though what of this? Do you have any interest in the alliance of the others, some of these could help against the close combat abilities and tactics of Mircea."

Graveclaw suddenly jumped to his feet and ran past Simon shoving him out of the way he ran up to a wall "bad men nearby with nasty sssstakes and holy water they come to kill Gravclaw and the other monstersss they right but Graveclaw need to stay alive much longer to kill all monstersss " with that he sank his claws into the wall and began to climb up to the roof"bad men tear down building on our heads" he said in a singsong voice "tear down building to cut us up".

 

[Ghouly]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

Katrina looked up at the beast as it hung upside down from the roof "How could this....animal kill Mannfred he is perhaps the most powerful necromancer in existence I doubt Graveclaw could raise a zombie,let alone face Mannfred in battle?" She thought for a moment "then again maybe If we all were to focase our magic into him to sheild him from Mannfred's magic He might kill him,but it would leave us drained and at the beast's mercy". "Not a place I would want to be" she said eyeing Graveclaws massive size.

 

[Azahul]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

Rask ignored the creature, but he continued to eye the others cautiously. Graveclaw was the least threatening of the assembled vampires, by a long way.
"So, aside from try-trying to kill-kill Mannfred, what about Drakki's alliance?"

 

[Jack of Blades]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

''Not a situation you'd want to be in, perhaps, but I'll have no problems with that... heh-heh... I'll enter the alliance on one condition. All food we find, is mine. And I demand corpses.''

Magneqrox then disappeared down the gate.

''I shall see you soon.''

 

[Drakki]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

"Master, we really should wrap this up now."
Cynthia looked up at her master, concern written all over her face. Drakki nodded.
"Lesa, i will join your alliance against Mannfred, if after his death you feel that you will be able to unite with me against larger prey, then all good."
Drakki whistled piercingly and a section of wall behind him exploded inwards, followed by a vast claw.
"Ilbret, yay." Cynthia shouted, running over to the zombie dragon ad hugging it's treetrunk leg. Drakki knelt down and whispered to the large wolf, which grunted and dashed out.
"Is there any other business before i depart? Anything anyone thinks i desparately need to know or anything very very significant about the two-and-a-half thousand years I've missed?"

 

[Ghouly]

"Sun burns, stake bad,Holy water causes pain"Graveclaw said in a perfectly sane voice as He dropped to the ground.

 

[Azahul]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

Rask grinned, "Things change. You should ask Cynthia. You have a lot of catching up to do."

 

[Ghouly]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

Katrina bowed low "I must now leave while there is still a chance to break free of these witch hunters But I to will help against Mannfred I give my word" she turned to leave. "Come" she commanded her Wight "we must leave". With that she turned and walked calmly out the door.

 

[Azahul]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

Rask turned and scurried after her, reaching the door a few moments ahead. He yanked open the poor doors that had already taken such a beating from the grand entrances of the other vampires... and found himself staring at a chest bearing the trappings of a Witch Hunter. His gaze traveled upwards towards the man's face, a face that gazed angrily back down at the Skaven. After a moment of silence, Rask squeeked and slammed the door shut again. Unfortunately, after all the damage it had taken, the door simply came of its hinges and fell inwards.
Rask scurried away from the entrance, waiting to see how the other vampires would react.

 

[Drakki]

RE: The Vampire Council (ic thread)

Drakki audibly sighed.
"So you are the so calle'd 'Witch Hunters' which everyone's been panicking about. I dont see what the fuss is all about. I can see your weakness."
Ilbret demolished the back wall and reared up threateningly, Cynthia only just letting go in time.
"And i should be smelling fear right about...now."
He sniffed, it was there, but it was tempered, ba a fear of something else, and that fear was overriding the fear of Ilbret.
"Hmm, in that case."
He drew his long-handled Scimitar.
"Who's first?"
