OK...Tuesday night it is (sorry Cleasor.)

Here is how it is going to go down:

1. I will set up the Shrouded Vault as closely as I can to when Vansa appeared last night.
2. All participants (including the bad guys) will be fully rested and buffed.
3. I am trusting players to not go out and get additional consumables. Please arrive with what you had deep in that dungeon.
4. You will all be positioned where you were within a square or two.
5. Vansa will show up (hostile at the start this time :oops: ) and try to kill you all and vice versa.

Pretty clear, I think.

Best of luck everyone.

I’m hoping to make it earlier. If we all can then absolutely, let’s roll. I’ll do my best!

Hate to stoke optimism, but things have been falling into place. Still a long way to go. I'd say 60/40 now.

So (Mick) what is the official line on Vansa? I know she escaped but should we expect the plot to continue in the near future or ICly should we consider the Vampire threat thwarted or at least allayed for the time being? i.e. can folk go out at night again? I understand if you don't want to make any kind of announcement on this, but if you do it would help for planning purposes.

And thanks so very much for an amazing storyline, with an amazing, challenging, interesting and thoroughly evil villain. I lost four PCs to Vansa or because of her (Mael, Adam, Morgan, Axl) and would not have wanted it any other way. Mael defied her and her Geas. Although he died to Dragon Cultists, he was hunting them to prepare for vengeance on her. Adam was killed by one of her undead minions while attempting to retake the Font that she defiled. Morgan was killed while confronting her directly, and Axl while doing what he could to help the heroes put an end to her. You can say it was 4-0 Vansa, but to me each death was meaningful, each added to the overall story, and each time I had the opportunity to spit in the face of evil and have a boatload of fun doing so. Thanks for a great campaign, whether it ends now, temporarily, or continues.

Vansa has gone quiet. She fled to parts unknown to lick her wounds. Night is probably safer, although random encounters with vampires at night may become a thing moving forward.

Some PCs are planning some follow-up actions to learn what is going on with Vansa, which may reveal much..or very little.

OOCly, Vansa is still somewhere out there and may make another appearance, but it will not be any time soon. I have other stories/plots I would like to get going before I would want to revisit vampires.

I did not plan ahead of time for her escape. I expected her to be destroyed (which would have happened if you guys had been an hour earlier) or that she and her minions would kill you all (which I thought less likely.) Escape was only contemplated after you guys demonstrated how tough you were and she was able to evade long enough for her to rethink just how badly she wanted you guys dead. She was almost out of her best spells and it seemed prudent for her to flee. Really well executed assault by the PCs, I thought.
