Because if we're sending our minions with Freyja, we get to wake up Diana.

Fear the omnipotent powers of Middle Management Man!!!
Careful that he doesn't fall victim to hubris and become the evil known as... Pointless Bureaucracy Man.

For if that happens, then it is only a short time until the face of true evil emerges, the one spoken only of in whispers, the one whose name strikes fear into the hearts of even the bravest of men; DMV Man.
 
[X] Go with Freyja to see if Lucas is still in the temple
-[X] Send your minions to ease Diana into wakefulness with the dulcet tones of humming gently rising and falling, gradually growing louder each cycle. Hopefully that will go down better than last time, and if not, well, better them than you.

Oh no, you can't be everywhere at once! Luckily you just acquired some minions, so you can delegate. You could leave those minions behind to wake up Diana but an experienced hand would likely work best. If only because you have no idea what Bass or Baritone or Tenor would do faced with a situation not covered by your instructions.

"Right I'm going to stay behind and wake Diana while...." You pause. Bass is jumping up and down, hand thrust into the air. The tables are jolting into the air every time Bass lands and there's steady trickles of dust from the beams over your head.

"Oh, oh! Pick me! Pick me, I'll find our sneaky friend!"

"U-Uh, okay you and Baritone can go with Freyja." Freyja's face freezes in a slightly forced smile. "Tenor, Morlia, Diana and I will be along in a bit."

"Yay!" Bass stops jumping. The proprietor breathes a hefty sigh of relief.

"Thank you for that." Freyja says through her grimace. "Sullinus you okay with having these two along?"

"I-I think so." He replies.

"Good, let's go people and daedra." Freyja and Sullinus leave. Bass trails after them like an eager puppy. Well, that's that. Time to brave the perils of waking Diana. You turn to Morlia.

"Oh no, you're on your own for this one." Morlia refuses to come with you before you can ask her. Hah! Shows what she know you have a daedra shield!

"Come on Tenor, we're going to dare the lair of a creature far more fearsome than a vampire." You direct Tenor in front of you up the stairs.

With great silence you approach the door to Diana's room. With great trepidation you reach for the door handle. With mounting anxiety you push the door open and....

With great speed you dodge the jet of flame and slam the door again. You wait patiently for several minutes.

"Fast, are you okay? That, uh, that was you right?" Diana's sleepy voice called from inside the room.

"Yeah it was me." You answer her. "We need to go meet with the count about what happened yesterday." You hear a groan.

"But it's so early and.... urgh, the sun's barely uuuup." Diana does not sound best pleased with the time of day you've chosen to wake her up. Since she's probably hungover you can't really blame her.

"There's a count I'd rather not keep waiting... waiting for us." You say, shaking your head that you couldn't think of anything better to say. "You see why that's a bit of an issue?"

"Urgh-fiiiine, gimme a minute."

You give her a minute. Then two. The third minute is drawing to a close when she shuffles out of her room. She's wearing a simple robe, brown with some pale yellow embroidery around the edges and hems. It comes with a hood that she's pulled low over her face.

"Let's go see this Count guy." She says, resigned to her fate of being awake it seems. "Sorry about trying to immolate you again." She adds a little sheepishly.

"It's fine, I dodged." You say lightly and head down to collect Morlia and start the walk up to the castle.

It takes maybe half an hour to reach the castle that looms over the rest of Skingrad. Freyja, Sullinus, Bass, Baritone and a surly looking Lucas are waiting for you at the gates.

"Something wrong, Lucas?" Morlia sounds positively gleeful that he doesn't seem to be having a good time.

"Aw it's sweet you care enough for me to notice." Lucas says with sweetness you can only hope is faked. Morlia makes a sound like she's attempting to swallow her own tongue. You look over at her worriedly. She doesn't seem to be choking but that was a very concerning gurgling noise.

Lucas laughs until Freyja thwacks him upside the head. "What?"

"Shut up!" Freyja growls before leading you into the castle.

You enter a stone hall, throne dominating it from the raised dias at the end. A man is sitting on the throne, pale skin almost luminous in the light of the chandeliers. He's dressed in fine velvety black that seems to eat every ray of light that touches it. His hair is dark and slicked back from his face and his eyes are sharp. How the hell does anyone in this city not know this guy is a vampire?! He could change his name to Dracula and you'd believe it was his real one!

"Ah, Freyja," Count Hassidor says, his voice smooth as an oil slick. "I trust you come to me of your own initiative rather than being sent by Commander Birch." You watch him speak carefully but don't catch sight of the fangs you know are there.

"My lord," Freyja bows deeply, everyone but you and the knights following suit, "I have discovered something that I felt should be brought to your attention." She begins to explain what occurred yesterday, stressing that everything is under your control now and that no more Order crystal was found.

"I see," the vampire Count rests his chin in one hand and his eyes focus on you. "You are clearly the product of an imperfect summoning," Morlia flushes deep crimson, "and it seems your coming to my city has set in motion an incredibly dangerous series of events. Perhaps you can provide some reason I should not have you removed from Skingrad."

[ ] Provide him a reason not to get kicked out of Skingrad
[ ] Shrug and accept being chucked out
[ ] Character references, your friends will vindicate you with the power of friendship!

Reminder that write ins are always welcome and that Best Vampire don't take no shit in his city :cool:
 
[X] Well the worst of what can happen already happened so you and you're city are in no danger unless someone * Glares at Sullinus * trys to mess with powers that they really should not mess with

-[X] Speaking of things to not mess with. don't mess with the Obelisk You can't get rid of it trust me i tried and messing with it screws with my control of it and well ... Bad things happen.
-[X] It would probably be best if you placed some guards around it and call in the mages guild to set up some defenses just in case.
 
[X] We were on our way out any way. A real punishment would be to make us stay.

[X] We were on our way out any way. A real punishment would be to make us stay.

... I really don't think Best Vampire will fall for ten year old grade reverse psychology.

It'd be better to leave on our own terms, and to be able to return at will. Yes we're leaving soon, but leaving is way different from being kicked out.
