It shatters, allowing darkness to fall.<br/>Then, you hear footsteps, as of the creature scuttling away, only further encouraged by Ig's fiery magic attack.<br/><br/>Undeterred by the Darkness, Althea charges after the beast, but finds one attack swiped away by a vampiric claw.. and the other misses in the nearly dark Alley-end.<br/>She also suddenly realizes how alone she is.<br/><br/>A fireball, sent by Sophia and flying overhead, allows her to see the vampire, turning around and staring at her contemplatively.. hungrily.<br/><br/>However, another bolt of dark energy blasts past them, missing in the darkness and as Rosebleu steps up as well, fencing blade a the ready, the vampire hisses further, making up it's mind not to fight.<br/><br/>Hakira fills Althea with a surge of confidence.. and stops the bleeding of the rather pale woman in the ally.<br/><br/>And with another arrow-shot, piercing the vampires back, Lucienne hurts it further, which causes it to grab onto the wall of a building and climb up on it, holding onto it with inhuman movements, before hopping onto the roof, escaping your assault...<br/><br/><strong>Combat Concluded!</strong><br/><br/>"Well well.. not bad. It seems you can handle challenges decently well. Be ready to head out on your mission.. the morning nears and if you travel fast you might make it close to Thraben before nightfall.. leave the creature to me... and best of luck to you all, may Avacyn protect you." Inros determined.. and then, his own blade drawn, rushed around the building, propably trying to reach, or cut off the vampire. Those that tried to follow in his pursuit would find he was suprisingly fast for an old man, so fast that it was rather hard to keep up with him.<br/><br/>This leaves you alone with the unconscious woman.<br/>(http://newsychronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/1977417-bigthumbnail.jpg)<br/><br/>She is quite beautiful, in a simple farmgirl kind of way, indubitably why the vampire preyed on her. Her dress more functional than elaborate, her skin pale. She groan-moans softly as she lies on the ground of the cold Rosemont backstreet.
