<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/>Persephone made her way over to the bar as the conversation continued, listening in as she walked around it and started looking through the collection of available drinks.  She doubted a small town like this would have even a drop of fine red wine in stock at the local tavern, but perhaps she would be pleasantly surprised and the innkeeper would have a bottle tucked away somewhere for a special occasion, or something like that.  She would also have to collect the key to her room, though at the rate things were going, she had a feeling she was going to be thrown out onto the street with no refund before the evening was through.<br/><br/>When the hunter began talking about the three vampire families, she paid a little more attention, actively looking at the man as he spoke.  If her own family was any indication, the 'Manager of Human Resources' position involved a lot more paperwork than he was guessing, but he was close enough that she nodded lightly when he got to that part, and when he mentioned the Bradford family, she made sure to weigh in.<br/><br/>"You know, the Bradfords are full of hot air on that whole 'unbroken lineage to the original vampire' claim,"  She stated, leaning onto the bar and propping her elbows up on it.  "Well, I won't dispute that it's probably true, but it doesn't actually mean anything, when you get down to it.  Some of their clan elders were bitten by a guy who was bitten by a guy who may have been bitten by the very first vampire.  That doesn't give them any special powers or anything, it's just something they can bring up in conversation to make themselves sound important."<br/><br/>Though, admittedly, as the most powerful of the three families, they were quite important already...  And he was right that just kicking in the door and storming the castle wasn't really an option when it came to taking on the Whites.  A head-on assault against a fortified location that several wizards had had multiple centuries to set up various unpleasant magical wards and traps upon?  Taking up sunbathing as a hobby would probably be a less suicidal option.
