Cecilia was surprised that she'd be so willing to offer up her talents, but the vampire commander nodded once before saying more, having plans already in motion.  "You're perfect for what I require then.  Go on and learn what you can from the others.  Vespa, should you betray me however to one of the others, I will personally drain you dry."  The threat was not one to be taken lightly, and as she took the handkerchief, the pale skinned woman about dropped it as she felt a disturbance from her undead warriors.  "No, already they are here!  MOVE IT!"  She shouted, pushing Vespa to the side as she ran to join the fray, pushing herself hard to reach the invaders.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Her undead warriors could feel their mistress's swift approach, but they had already been pushed back.  However, they weren't without their tricks.  They hadn't survived this long to be pushed back by simple do-gooders, and they proved their merit when two of their ranks pulled out heavy crossbows, already prepared to fire into the ranks of the invading party with poisoned darts covered in a sleeping potion.  They'd capture who they could and sort out the rest later for their Mistress.  Firing twice before rapidly reloading, one of the clerics and their support mage went down, asleep long before they hit the ground.  However, the remaining cleric was still emitting holy magic and until she was taken down, they couldn't hope to get near.  That was saying nothing of the rest of the party that still stood.
