Black Luke leaves the forrest.

  Black Luke and Varek looked over the corpses of  Saundash, Molo, Trenton and Sarah.
Well that could have gone better he thought to himself, could have been worse, I could have died.

"You need to leave." said Varek, "I believe you have worn out the welcome."

"But, I've helped to do away with what would have been a big problem."

Varek nods, "Yes, but look at the elven camp guards, those are some stern looks."

 "Well, the roof of the root cellar Inn was too low any way." said Black Luke.

  Black Luke walks over to the elven sisters,

 "Looks like its time to hit the ol' dusty trail." grins Rose. "You going to need a lone of a horse, to get out with yer loot?"

"Yes."

Esmeralda looks at Black Luke "My sisters and I will escort you to the forest edge."

"You're the first human I ever met, Good Luck." says Magandella.

  Black Luke leaves the forest and notices a wanted poster, he leaves it up.

Black Luke hunts Vampire Nox.

  Black Luke sat in Evanzanthis' tent checking over his list of  equipment, when an elven messenger ran up.
"I am Saundash member of the Guardians of the Willowwood, there have been no encounters at the ruin entrance, your fellowship members are returning soon from their task of routing out encrouching goblin raiders that they were asked to help with, and ask that you and Magandella return to the entrance encampment by tomorrow eve. I am to provide a small escort."

   The following evening all members and volunteers of the fellowship met, they went over their various rolls; they were
    Black Luke, Wayward traveler (2nd level Assassin)
    Varek the Dwarven Fighter (3rd level fighter)
    Esmeralda, 500 year old Elven Priestess, Acorn of The Leaf Lord
    Abigale, 250 year old Elven Warrior-Maiden (2nd level Fighter)
    Marsha, Half-elven Mercenary Veteran (age unstated) Lvl 2 Fighter
    Rose, 99 year old Elf, Ranger of the New Order (2nd edition ranger)
    Magandella, 50 year old Elf Mage in training, Daggers.
    Saundash of House Elderbear, Guardian of Willowwood, 2nd level F/M
    Washington the Gnomeish Trapmaster Level 2 Rogue (2nd edition)
    Molo the Halfling Slinger (F/T first level)
    Trenton the Druid (2nd Level)
    Sarah of the Silver Mace, 3rd level Cleric of Cyndor

 They entered the Lower areas next morning, bypassing all the previously discovered traps, unknown to the group Black Luke directed them the way that the wight had instructed him.
A shrine was discovered with a small amount of treasure and tablets revealing the Vampire was the Lord Nox. A hidden door was found at the bottom of a pit trap and 6 undead skeleton panthers fought, passing this they entered what they assumed to be the lair of the Vampire.

  The chamber was quickly looked over and a pit with poisoned barbed spikes then bypassed, Black Luke began to set up an apparatus so when the lid of its resting place was opened Trenton the Druid could pull a cord and several flasks of holy water would dampen the vampires spirit. Varek the Dwarf and Marsha pushed the covering off and the fellowship began their grim task.

Black Luke and the Pirate Treasure.

  Black Luke was at the end of his endurance, he gave a single cry of help and collapsed, His companions herd him and rushed into the chamber with weapons drawn. Seeing it was him Esmeralda came to his side and did a curing spell. Magandella pulled off and killed the biting worms, she placed one in a small flask for later indentification.

"We thought you were dead," said Esmeralda, "We saw Henery crushed, what happened to you and Zac Anton?

"Zac, He... he didn't make it." sighed Black Luke. "There was a hole, I found my way here."

"There's something else, there's a vampire some where down there, in the other direction, there's a crypt, I'm sure of it." said Black Luke.

"Wait. What?" said Magandella and Abigale together.

"Well that's just...... There's something going on here, these ruins were here for over 500 years, ogre slavers and a necromancer, now this." said Esmeralda.

"What's the history of these ruins?" asked Black Luke.

"Just a long abandoned watchtower as i understand it." said Rose.

"We call it the Ruins of Nox, Nox meaning night and also the name of the last leader to garrison here." said Magandella.

"Pirates would come in from the sea near here, we elves didn't like em." said Rose.

Black Luke thought, 'PIRATE TREASURE'. then composed himself.

"Wait a second, that's it, the shield symbol the orc knight had, it's a black shield with a symbol on it, like a pirate flag, it's all pirate related." he then added, "We gonna need all the holy water and oil we can get our hands on for the vampire."

"I need to meditate on this, I may need to contact my order." said Esmeralda.

"We don't need them coming here, taking our gold and glory." said Marsha.

"Seems to me, we need more magic, we need more than silver, I have an enchanted arrow, Marsha has the rune sword, what else we got?" asked Rose.

"My shortsword has the first rune power." said Varek.

"I know some one who has a magic longsword." said Abigale.

"I know very little about vampires, but mostly don't they turn to mist and escape? Resisting its charming should be no problem for us elves, but the gaseous form? How do we stop it? it's probably in some kind of hibernation now and that's why this is new to us, if we wake it without doing it in, our whole community is in trouble" said Magandella.
