Kyrroeth, I agree that if we can wolfpack the vampire, we can take her down. The problem is if we just do that, there are still enough cultists to pick us apart while we do so, and we will lose more PCs than we might otherwise. If Velon or I did not have to pin down the ground troops in the hall, I think this would go our way. But until that happens, I think we're walking a knife edge… so cool!
That would be great fun Daishain. Maybe someone will run that to give you a break. It would be fun to play from the other point of view. The Lannisters as opposed to the Starks you might say.
How about our forces all go to the dining hall and engage the vampire. We could leave Poljen and Velon to tank in the doorway. Poppy could toss fireballs at any that came to his door. It would stop the archer fire and we could get more bodies on the vampire. I would rather do that than make a stand in the control room. We don't want the vamp anywhere near the mask and scroll. Someone suggested this earlier but In the control room. I like it better in the dining room with Mina Harker. Just some thoughts.

Yup that is something I've been saying. If we can get clear of the hall we can work on the vampire in the dining room, ranged folks still blocking the control room. I'd be curious to see what the archers do from there. I was hoping to have Velon in the dining for the that purpose by now, but it's been slow taking the hallway guards down. There are quite a few and our attacks are divided. I was really hoping to hit this round, Cratol and I might be just about done with the western group. Velon could ignore the last one, risking AoO, and let Poppo and Zarra finish him off. Looks like it may take another round. Sorry Taz. .
Kyrroeth, I think if we had more fireballs, the mages would have used them. Believe me, I wish they did! If Iggy and Niko want to risk AoOs and leave Poljen, that's fine. Maybe one will follow and he will get an AoO of his own.
Nikolaos will risk as many as four AOOs rushing into the dining room. A cultist, 2 bat swarms, and the vampiress.
That's fine if you still want to do so, figured you'd want to know the risks. Just let me know.
