You gather again in the courtyard. But today...today things are very different.
Four bodies are laid out in the center of the courtyard. The High Priest is moving amongst them.
As you get closer you see IronyOwl, ECrownOfFire, Bdthemag, and Max White. Looking around you also see that Mysteriousbluepuppet and Leafsnail are missing.
“Last night was full of dark magic, and the forces of evil were busy.” Says the High Priest, grimly. “But I think perhaps not all of this is bad for us.”
“IronyOwl was a Witch, a practitioner of ancient magics. And while I usually do not mourn the death of a heretic, he does not seem to have been working for the Vampires. I hope we do not feel his loss too keenly this day. I’m not sure who murdered him, but the blow that shattered his chest was powerful indeed. I imagine he felt little pain, at least.”
“ECrownOfFire was a Warlock, and like IronyOwl is not one I would normally mourn. But it seems he truly was working in the interests of the town this entire time. There are no marks upon him, and I sense that his soul was ripped from him. I fear he is out of the gods hands, now, but I shall pray for him nonetheless.”
“Max White was indeed a Fortune Teller. It seems that all those who deal with unholy powers come to a bad end. I shall need to add that to my sermons. But, again, he seems to have given his soul for the sake of the town. We shall pray for him as well.”
"Of Mysteriousbluepuppet there is no sign. I had a dream last night, however, of a Guardian Angel lifting a soul to the heavens. I think he told us the truth, and this servant of the gods has left us know that IronyOwl has been slain. I suppose I must wonder why an angel would care so much for a heretic. Something to ponder in the years ahead, should we live that long."
"Leafsnail is gone as well. His house stank of darkness. I am confident that he was a Devil, and is gone for now. We must be ever vigilant, however, for this fiend will surly return to tempt the righteous in the future."
“Now...Bdthemag. This is fascinating. It looks like this was our Vampire Lord. Look, here, at the fangs. It seems his lust for power was too much, and he too fell into the Devil’s trap. But I shall not waste my breath on prayers for such a monster.”
“With the Lord out of the way, you would think that we are safe. But the gods warn me that the danger has not yet passed. And so your work is not over. Not yet.”
“Choose well, for you hold the fate of this town in your hands.”
