*Andrej Sokol
Leszek Kolano*

Kolano stared at the trio and examined each one. Was it a mistake inviting them to solve the issue? Could Andrej have done it alone? He did not know where to start with the conversation. Finally, he spoke up. His voice was loud and was prevalent, like an instrument playing in *Forte*. 

"Yes, the monster. I have been in search of someone who can handle this, none who have came had any success. Our town is living in fear, everyone closes their windows and locks the doors now. I do not force my guards to stand outside anymore, only taking shifts inside structures." He then proceeded to look at Andrej and said, "This fellow, Andrej, has recently arrived and he is immediately working on identifying the beast with the help of my bestiary. I will tell you the same things that I did to him. The beast only strikes at night and usually attacks people. It has been most active in a part of town where the Mazur family lives. Many of the family members have reported attacks, but not slain by it, unlike the other victims in town. They have something to do with it." The Baron then pointed to Andrej, "He has pinned down creatures that may have been the culprits of the attack," The Baron went silent and let Andrej speak. 

Andrej glared at the last to speak, Warren, "If you wish to help me build leads you can. I can show you the monsters I have pointed out. The majority are species of vampires, as many of the points the Baron has made suggests this," His eyes did not lay of them. He crossed his arms, half expecting a witty response from one of the three. 

At a young age, he learned that the Ranger Guilds and the Order of the White Rose do not tend to get along very well. The two may do some of the same jobs, but one is well loved and seen as a valiant order by Marin, while the other group, famous for being outlaws and scum desperate for coin, according to most Marin natives.

Stern Logarsh, Main Hall of Castle Cisna

The hunter nodded as the men described the situation, his mind already taking notes about his prey. Vampires... They never dared to enter the Taemarian forests, but when they did, the shamans had special chants for them, to keep them away from the territory, or at least that was what the shaman of his tribe used to tell him when speaking about the Sotomak, the Ones Who Stay. His people saw the creatures of the darkness with hatred, knowing too well that those beings do not belong in this world. 
Stern opened the Codex Spinae and reached the page about the undead, nodding to himself.
The orc then folded his muscular on his chest, waiting for his superiors to speak for him. He could feel the stare of the guards on him, but the white hood he was wearing gave him the possibility to avoid them, what he couldn't help but notice was the murmurs of the people who were staring at him, unwanted intel granted by his pointy ears.

Warren Klade
Alabet Havar
Cisna Castle.

The two men turned to face the ranger, the distaste obvious on their face though for different reasons. To Warren the stranger simply meant another moving part in the machine, something they could get broken and ruin the entire operation. Alabet however had a more dogmatic outlook on things. If the order were to handle things they hardly needed some nonbeliever clogging up their methods. As he took a breath and prepared to complain he was cut off by Warren. "Vampire does sound about right. Have those books sent to whatever room we'll be commandeering for our base of operations along with any eye witnesses there might be. Alabet can start looking into things with his own insight. Ranger, you will be leading myself and the squire to the most recent sight of attack." His tone did not leave room for argument from either his own party or the ranger.
