Gemini Sierra
Pre-emptive Salvage Specialist
Antoine jumped as he heard the crash of gates and the scream of someone above the room as the floor rumbled and suddenly a pillar nearly half the size of the room shot up into the ceiling. The sounds of a trap above releasing and resetting was heard along with the final gasps of someone dying. The pillar retreated into the floor and the body of black robed man lay bleeding out in the center.
Sheathing his sword, Antoine stepped over to the man and nudged him with his foot. There was no movement. He crouched down next to the body and rolled it over. The man had pale skin, and dark, blood red eyes. Using his dagger he pushed the mans lips back and saw the fangs. "VAMPIRE!" He hissed.
Stepping back he drew his sword and with a swing that betrayed his strength, sheered the mans head from his body. There was no way this creature would come back to life and the body quickly disintegrated into dust. As if nothing had really happened, he casually stepped back to the body and searched the robes finding a pile of dust and a few gold pieces. He fished around in his satchel, finding a small phial he scooped up some of the dust to later make into a potion for invisibility or maybe potion to cure disease.
Standing he heard more noise coming from up the stairs and returned to the them. Ascending the stairs he found a small room with crypts and another set of stairs. "They'd gone farther than he'd thought, but then again, they'd have to in order to be above the room with the trap," he thought to himself.
Crouching and walking up the stairs he found Cleddau and Shade standing in the doorway. Cleddau had taken an arrow but was still standing, as they backed further from the occasional arrow that landed in the door. "Hey mate, you gonnabe a'right?" he said while pointing at the arrow as another rattled against the door frame near Shade. "What do we 'ave out there? Seems like they gotcha pin down, I can 'elp with some firebolts if there is a decent line o sight."
