<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/28/Vampire_Sorceress.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">The Lady Persephone, of the Noble House of Morte (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=863069)</span><br/>HP: 35 | AC: 19 | Fort: +4 | Ref: +8 | Will: +7<br/><hr/><br/>Well, this was a lovely situation that Persephone had found herself in.  On the bright side, her spell had identified a likely candidate for her mission almost as soon as she entered the bar.  It was another seemingly-young woman who was quite the looker, especially for someone with no pulse.  She was likely a vampire, and therefore likely working for the White family.  It would just be a simple matter of talking with her for a bit, making her acquaintance, and then retiring upstairs and starting in with the divinations until she found a soft spot in the local operation...<br/><br/>...Except that the not so bright side of the current situation was the rather unpleasant-looking gentleman who was sitting in a table by the corner.  He carried an obvious and specially-modified weapon, had several holy symbols openly displayed, and then there were the fangs in his hat and the obvious fear and respect that the other patrons in the bar had for him.  And to top it all off, they were avoiding eye contact, which meant that they probably suspected what the two women they weren't looking at were capable of doing with their gazes.<br/><br/>He was probably a monster hunter, then.  Damn, that seriously complicated things.  Admittedly, it made some sense that a hunter or group of hunters would be in the area, considering that the Whites had done enough to get the family's attention, but the big hope that she'd had for running into one was that she'd be able to maintain her human guise and let somebody with big muscles and specialized equipment do her work for her.  Coming under suspicion herself was more of a worst-case scenario.  The Vampire Spawn was so busy wracking her brains over what to do that she didn't even pay any mind to the wild-looking woman with the axe who strode in through the door behind her.  Should she fight?  Flee?  Try to bluff her way through?  The hunter probably had counters to her innate vampiric abilities, so which of her spells could she rely on for help?  There were a lot of things that she needed to account for when deciding what to do.<br/><br/>Then the other Vampire in the room stepped forward and started speaking, drawing more attention to herself...  And that was enough to help Persephone settle on a course of action.  For the moment, she would sit back and let things play out.  If a fight started, she could slip away and use magic to put a better disguise in place, and if it didn't...  Well, the other woman was apparently looking for some information.  If there was something in the area that the Whites didn't know about, it was probably worth looking into, yes?
