Okay, Posey has two lvl 1 slots left. She could try defiling to get some back, but... I'm so embarrassed by that last post that I don't want to use the Dragon #315 table for the rest of the fight. Or the rest of the game, idk.
Posey has a Spectral Hand active, so she can make touch attacks at a range, although they have her out-powered with ranged attacks.
>>170074
Thinking fast, Posey casts Hide From Undead (DC 15), and opens the door to the other room, stepping through.

The Undead get will saving throws to determine if they're effected by Hide From Undead.

In the room behind Posey, the gunfire continues. This is not a small amount of gunfire, as it consists of numerous shots and continues for some seconds. If Posey remains right there in the doorway, she is in line of fire. If she moves a few feet to the left, or a few feet to the right, she is not in the line of fire. For the moment, Posey is evidently not the target.
The cave itself is twice the length, at least, of the cellar chamber Posey left. It's 12 or more feet high in its higher areas, though much is less. The floor is uneven.
Posey looks into the cave to see, in the dull light, the forms of one, two three, four, five, six, seven... Is that an eighth form? All equine in Nature. They move curiously towards the sound
The first is clearly in the form of a pink pegasus pony, a mare in Royal Guard armor. She has golden eyes, and she looks directly at Posey. Her lips and snout are pale. Her neckguard is broken off. She has a scabbard containing a physically broken sword.
Somewhere behind is a large, bay earth pony with a red and blue plaid shirt. He has an axe on a decayed wooden belt. His black snout is likewise pale. He is a bit further away, and less attentive.
Near him is an orange earth pony stallion, wearing a beige sheriff's deputy uniform, a badge, and the name of Callahua County. He too stares blankly towards the wall. He wears a wide brimmed cowboy beige hat. He has a revolver on a leather belt, and an electric torch.
On the right side is a young dark purple mare wearing a long, black dress. Her mane is still tied back, and she carries a red purse, and a camera.
Between the set is a pair of ponies. One is somewhat familiar looking light green stallion with a short mane cut combed over to the left side. He carries nothing. Next to him is a mare who wears a kitchen apron and a familiar necklace.
But to the right, and also staring right at Posey, is a small white colt. He has his cutie mark - a stick - but must be young. He looks tired, and wears a red bandana around his neck, and a beige shirt that resembles a uniform. He carries a knife, and a small net on a small pole.

Posey hears an answer from the far back
"He slumbers no more"
In the far back, Posey sees another equine form an elderly red earth pony stallion, standing over a pair of caskets, wearing a black cassock, a purple epitrachelion that is gilt on its sides, and a black mitre. He carries a very long silver staff with a gilded kolovrat on the top. His eyes are red, and very serious.
"Why have you come here?!"

Correction. The stallion does not wear a mitre. He wears a Kalimavkion with a long, black veil hanging down the back.

"He has." The stallion laments. "I have known that for a long time... But to have it confirmed...
"Little Leto Pannolovich was not a great Vampire, by any means. He was brash, thirsty, and impatient. But he was the spawn - in both senses of the term - of Veliky Pannolovich, and he was strong. He was the last of the Nobles in the region."
>>170108
He looks directly to her
"When we left, the masses and what was left of the nobles were killing each other in a civil war, and it was spreading. My thought was to wait them out. If they want to kill their betters, and rule themselves, they will fall to pieces soon enough. I drove Leto across many miles and many rivers. He made a mess wherever he went, however. He was going to be tracked down sooner rather than later. That pink mare came here one night. He got her. But then he left later that night, and never came back. Of course I knew what happened. So I stayed here. There seemed to be no point in going anywhere."
He looks to her
"Vengeance would be quite satisfying, if I could find who did it." He answers

Oh, that was easy.
I was preparing a persuasive speech
"I came to for the satisfaction of slaying the last vampire hunter in Equestria... I want him, I want his corpse...! But you, thrall, you have failed, and now the blood of Nabassus has been estinquished from this realm. Go and face him, and fulfill your last duty."

Yeah, vampire spawn are no joke, and neither are vampires. They're arguably more dangerous when it comes to their array of powers.

This is doable, as the fire has just started, and there isn't much tender. There were not many, or very possibly any, books on the shelves. The worst is an article of clothing which must be pulled away from the shelf.

The disk follows behind her. It's used to carry things.
She leaves with whoever leaves with her.
Then again, would the fire necessarily spread below the ground? Posey doesn't have to worry about smoke.
Idk. I'm too tired.

Okay, the difference between the vampire spawn and the thralls changes Posey's plans a bit. I was suspecting that they would either be ghouls or vampire spawn.
Rolling Religion to know what the general capabilities of "thralls" are, as opposed to true vampire spawn
[1d20+8 = (6+8) = 14]
And another roll for the Bloodbound
[1d20+
As for the fire situation, would it necessarily affect the cave beneath the lair? If the barn burns down, the cavern shouldn't be affected, except for smoke.
We could wait out the fire, but that might create opportunity for the EL to escape, although I doubt they'd leave knowing that we're still here. They also want the treasure, so they're bound to return.

Their capabilities are not radically different from those they had in life, save the usual advantages of the undead
(similar to ghouls)
>Bloodbound
shurgs
Not less than he had in life, and likely more.
None have the extreme strength and durability of true vampires
>Fire
In short, the fire affects little save for potentially cutting off the obvious exit point. The cavern is too low and insufficiently flammable to catch fire. So long as the fire in the cellar is put out, at least.

Ah, so l guess they're like Necropolitans like Posey, only with different lore.
>similar to ghouls
With or without the paralysis?
I don't want to nitpick/metagame, but that's something of strategic importance.
Ghouls make up most of the lower class of the Dread League, so Posey would be familiar with them and their powers.
>None have the extreme strength and durability of true vampires
Well, so long as they do as I say (Posey still has 6 Rebuke attempts), they might be as least as useful as zombies.
The ghost-thingies that Posey controlled were destroyed, but
there are two more, right? Posey would like to take control of the other two to have them scout the situation above.
Now, in character:
Posey turns to the bloodbound Butler guy.
"You thirst for revenge, and I cannot risk exposing the operations of the League here. We absolutely cannot allow them to escape.
The band seek the treasures hidden in this lair, but being among the living they surely value their own lives more, so their flight is more than plausible. The Paladin August, I presume, will not be one to flee when the blood of the vampires still lingers here, and I intend to face him before his comrades convince him to leave."
She turns to the thralls, her chin turned up authoritiely.
"Grab whatever weapons you can find, we strike momentarily."
Since thralls and ghouls are the bottom of the hierarchy in the Dread League, Posey, as an apprentice mage, outranks them. Since they are intelligent undead, they can benefit from Posey's presence through her Necromantic Commander Aura (+1d6 damage to living creatures).
Of course, this only counts if they serve her. If the thralls show any hesitation to combat, Posey might have to rebuke them.
Posey draws her longbow, and ties her cape back while letting her hood ride to reveal her grotesque barding.

DM would have to answer but probably not. Earlier a party of level-5 adventurers had to fight some honest-to-Orcus ghouls and they were a scary opponent.

There are two more ghost soldiers, but Posey will have to try again to control them.
"You bring these hunters to me and expect me to kill them?" A half moment's pause, and "I suppose I should thank you for the opportunity. Treasure? Is that what they think is here? They found us instead." He moves around to grab his staff. "You shouldn't be surprised that they are retreating. Only one dared come to the lair before. A lone mare who wondered the night. They did not come after her. If little Leto was destroyed all the way down at the river, they must have gone far. In the old days, yak raiders would feign retreat to draw soldiers into ambushes. Perhaps they did the same to Leto. Knowing him, it would have worked."
The Bloodbourne scrunches at any effort by Posey to control the thralls. "And who do you think has been their master for so many years?"

Posey stares at him
"Are you not your master's favorite? You are their master now, so long as you can control these unfortunate spawn."
Posey silently thinks that Leto must have been a dumbass lowbreed for not turning any of his undead thralls into proper spawn, but she doesn't say this aloud, being adumbass lowbreed herself. She suspects that perhaps Leto was the more savage variant though, given records of his behavior.

Well, I look forward to that. It would be fun to go on an adventure some time.
Only 5 more levels until Posey can conjure her army of skeletons... Luckily, this quest could earn her two or three levels, but only if Posey succeeds in defeating August and his band.

That statement was in reference to the incident that killed Leto "Plivy" Pannolovich twenty years before.
It's been approximately a minute, likely less, since Posey entered the cavern, with most of that time probably spent trying to put the fire out.

I kind of understood the thralls to be ponies who've been subjected to a Vampire's domination ability, although I used the term liberally in my past posts, just because it sounds cool.
>It's been approximately a minute
Oh good, I should still have spectral hand up.
Rolling to rebuke the incorporeal thingies

With this roll, Posey rebuked undead as a lvl 11 Cleric. Any undead with effective HD of 5 or less should be commanded (up to 7 HD maximum).

I'm going to roll Religion, to get a better understanding of these undead, as I have observed them in combat now. I expected them to hold off the ponies for longer, as the lowest level incorporeals are usually a death sentence to low level martials. It appears as though they don't have the full benefits of the incorporeal subtype, but are able to manipulate objects as though with the ghostly grasp feat.

Spirits, or at least the facsimiles of such things, tied to specific objects; usually soldiers attached to militaria. They have approximately the same powers as the living creature (a bit lower, perhaps), save that as incorporeal entities, half of non-magical attacks go through them.
>usually a death sentence
It helps when you have repeating firearms, and a submachine gun, and also a Paladin with a magic sword
>>170207
These things are definitely dead, and are magically animated.
A rifle rises, as does a spear and set of lamellar armor, and before Posey appears the spectral silhouette of a pegasus pony inhabiting a floating set of armor, with the spear fixed like a lance. Next to it is the silhouette of an earth pony wearing a white uniform with black patches, a white cap with black trim, while holding a Vlazhny Samorodok bolt action rifle. They each tilt in a bow towards Posey, as if tipped by a puppeteer's string.

>>170208
Considering that I rolled higher than last time, these guys should be commanded.
Posey has 5 Rebuke Attempts left.
>>170210
Sorry, I got distracted.
>It helps when you have repeating firearms, and a submachine gun
Not when the enemy is immune to non-magical attacks, which is what I expected.
>half of non-magical attacks
What about magical attacks?
Posey is trying to determine if that machine gun was magical.
>They each tilt in a bow towards Posey, as if tipped by a puppeteer's string.
Perfect.
"Pursue the enemy. Cut off their path to escape." Posey commands telepathically.
"Focus fire on the unicorn bearing the heavy artillery, then the swordsman." Posey commands.
"Everyone else gets ready to engage them aboveground." She says aloud
Posey moves to the entrance of the cellar, trying to maintain cover.
She looks for any ponies within 170 feet.

Be advised that Posey does not have visibility in any direction for 170 feet. Posey can move from the cavern into the cellar, and then above the cellar is the barn. There are no ponies
The spirits nod, and move into the cellar, and try to move out
>>170232
It appears that it is, and that furthermore, the wagon has been moved up against the door as it was before.
Of course any fire has been freshly set, so it's hardly a raging inferno.

Posey moves up the cavern and tells the others to follow her. She says at least 60 ft behind the spirits.

Can it be snuffed out?

Maybe? Either way, the wagon must be moved first to enter the barn.
The cavern is maybe 60 feet in length altogether, so the distances underground are not that large

Posey follows after the spirits then, 30 ft behind them.
She conjures an Unseen Servant from her spellstitching, and puts it to work snuffing out the fire.
Since this is night, the electric torches should be visible from pretty far away, right? Posey telepathically commands them to relay anything they see.

Doable, most certainly, but be advised:
The wagon itself has been set on fire, and unlike the bookshelves, the wood in the wagon is dry and receptive. It has already lit up like a candle. The thralls will likely take some damage

How heavy is the wagon?
Posey can push a maximum load of 3450 pounds across the ground, which should double to 69000 pounds if wheels count as a favorable condition.
I guess this is as good a time as any to ask how unicorn telekinesis works when it comes to lifting and pushing.

>>170258
Posey's telekinesis, and telekinesis in general, is substantially weaker than her physical strength. She could likely push it in such a way, though she'd be physically close to it, and would proceed slowly.

She only needs to push it one square to get around it.
Posey spends a round pushing while she horn-gestures for the others to catch up.
What do the spirits engage within this time?

Posey pushes it out of the way, though it's still a danger to the larger barn. Posey can see that two more fires have been lit. One, along the left, was left in a pile of debris, and seems to be catching along, spreading along the wall. Another is much less successful, placed directly along wood.
Posey hears a "Bang Bang," so clearly, the spirits have found something.

Posey Telepathically directs the spirits to move on the opposite side of the meadow, to attack the enemy from the rear.
She pokes her head out to make line of sight with any of the enemies.
She also directs the others through the opening.

Oh well. Not like I need it anymore so long as the underground cavern is secure.

Does she see the enemy?
If they're within 170 ft, Posey would like to use her Spectral Hand to attack.

The one with the rifle starts shooting, while the one with a spear advances.
[1d20+1 = (13+1) = 14]
I do mean 100 yards. Posey can see that the soldiers have, after leaving the barn, attempted to cross the field to go in the direction of the farm house. At this point, they have not completed that process, and are looking back, while trying to move. 100 yards is likely a greater distance than they actually are, but they may or may not be within 170 feet of the edge of the barn. Their electric torches make them easy to spot in the night, although the grass is rather tall, and between the blinding effect of the light and the night, it's hard to see much more than the torches.
August, however, is much closer to the barn, though he is more than 30 feet away. He is looking back towards the spirits, and the barn. He is holding, in his turquoise magically aura, the submachine gun previously held by Succored Brave. The magazine is not in the gun. He has it beneath his mouth. He looks down to it, says something at a low volume, and once this is done, places it back in the top of the submachine gun.

Although, if I don't, I should still be able to hold the charge, unless I get shot and fail concentration next turn.

But not before August can pull back the hammer on the submachine gun, and yell at Posey
"What do you expect to accomplish, Aberrant? The Great Mother did not make you. You are no form nor hue of mortal things, framed and knit by the Mother's power. Do you think you will prevail?"

Posey takes her remaining move action to move 30 ft towards August, and then takes a free action drop prone on the grass, attempting to use it as soft cover.

I should've written my snappy supervillain comebacks ahead of time.
"Like you would know...!" she hisses in response, gnashing her fangs
"I've seen countless knights like you, and they always say the same things; that light will always prevail. Let's put it to the test!"
Posey shouts, as she lurches forward.

"Oh well."
She drops prone, her eyes glass over, and she plays dead, not moving a muscle, her innards spreading out across the grass.

Posey hears, and has heard, more gunshots. As she does not hear the sound of bullets approaching, these must not have been intended for her.
August makes an "Ugh!" sound, stabs his sword into the ground, and then picks it up, and slices off a peace of Posey's cloak, which he picks up with his magic. He then sheathes the sword, pulls out his submachine gun, and fires
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang
Evidently not intended for Posey, as every shot misses her, but hits the ground. He backs away, as he pulls out a second gun.

Posey hears three more gunshots from the submachine gun, then more gunshots, then more, as August evidently is withdrawing. Based upon the sounds of feet stomping and gunfire, the battle is surely continuing. Does Posey continue waiting the next few rounds?

Posey hears a "pop," lighter in intensity than any gunshot before, and a red ball blazes through the tall grass, bounces against the ground, and continues onwards. The grass along the trail of the fireball starts to catch fire.

The line of fire is near Posey, maybe 10 or so feet away, and is starting to catch on. the grass is in that happy medium where it is dry enough to catch fire, but wet enough that it does not burn cleanly, but produces decent amounts of smoke. Posey does not need to move in the next few turns to avoid taking damage, as it is far enough away.
After the passage of more time, maybe another two rounds, there is another "pop," and another ball of fire shot through the tall grass.

Yes, though only out of the corner of her eye. It's a ball of flame being shot through the grass of the field.
From behind, posey can hear
"Атакуйце, шчаняткі!" And more gunshots

[1d20+8 = (5+8) = 13]
Though the fire inches closer, it isn't exactly Posey's life being threatened at the moment.

Posey makes due on her agreement to play dead, until the fire gets near her.
Tell me how many rounds it takes for her to need to move, so I'll know how much she healed.

After the passage of about six rounds/36 seconds, the fire feels uncomfortably close.
The fire is producing copious amounts of smoke, which gives cover. The meadow did not catch fire quite so successfully on the "right" side, which is to say the area immediately in front of the barn. The only sources of light, besides the half-moon, are the burning barn, in which it appears one of the two fire set has caught on and was not put out, and the fire in the meadow that is now between Posey and the ELF cell. Posey may cast a shadow from the fire in the barn.

>>170323
As Posey moves up, she is able to get a clearer view of what is going on:
August and the ELF cell are fighting at range in evident retreat, as the Bloodbourne is commanding the thralls to attack. The Bloodbourne himself is commanding from the back, near the barn, and evidently is fighting with magic.
A flare is shot into the air, lighting up the meadow as though under a full moon, though the smoke still obscures Posey’s position.

Posey could crawl her way to the edge of the mound and ultimately either into the hole going to the cavern, or behind the mound and onto the riverbed. She could crawl a little to the right and towards the barn, but it is both on fire, and a center of attention.
Gunshots tell that the battle is still going on, although it's a little more distant now, as it seems the entire group has moved back

Posey proceeds to the underground entrance, determined to investigate it before she leaves this place.

>>170332
Be advised:
The entrance is a simple hole in the roof, going about 15 feet down into the cavern below. While Posey could likely ease herself down such that she could enter the cavern without taking damage, she does not immediately have a way to exit through that same hole, and the barn is now too dangerous to exit through.

Posey enters the cavern, finding it free of thralls, the bloodbourne, any paladins, rebels, soldiers, hyenas, or any other kind of meddling forces. Posey can only see with her dark vision, which does not illuminate many of the contents, but nevertheless she can see much strewn about, like some clothing, two coffins, and innumerable scratchings on the wall.

There's not a whole hell of a lot, but there is certainly more than none.
The most valuable items by far seem to have been looted from a bishopric's treasury: A sun shaped monstrance, a silver chalice, a silver ciborium, and a phylactery. And no, not for a lich, but apparently for a pony saint, unless the White Severyanan Lichs were very bold about their hiding places. Posey does not actually know how valuable these items are, but certainly they amount to several pounds of silver, as well as gold plating.
There are also a few rings, a brooch, a couple necklaces, and perhaps a few dozen silver coins and a few gold coins. There's also a jar of dirt, multiple road maps, two rather nice looking portrait paintings, and a rather large shield with elegant heraldry.

She'll have to use the disk then.
Although, she can't carrying them out into the burning barn without risking damage.
Posey spends a minute healing herself.

Posey does so. No one enters the cavern, but Posey does not know whether the Bloodbourne or the ELF team are still somewhere outside.

Posey may have to wait for hours, should she chose to exit through the barn after the fire dies. Then again, for the undead, there is all of the time in the world

Posey would prefer to return to her lair before Gloomy wakes up.
Could she somehow bundle the items on the floating disk to protect them from the flames as she runs through? She doesn't care about a little fire herself.

She can most certainly try, either going through the barn, or finding a way straight up.
Rember there are a pair of caskets

She could load the treasure into the casket to protect what's inside.

I guess that'll do.
Posey gets to work loading the casket, before reading herself to sprint through the fire.
I guess I'll preemptively roll reflex to avoid catching fire

Just for good measure...
[1d20 = 18]
Does Posey wish to go out the usual way, turning right, and thus towards the meadow and the farmhouse, and likewise whoever may still be there (or not, as bodies would also be present)? Or does she wish to sidestep this area, and go left, to the riverbank?

Posey is able to deftly maneuver around the burning wagon, away from burning walls, and a lone burning beam. Or at least, far enough away that the wood does not catch fire. Posey may want to stamp out her cloak, and her eyes certainly dry out.
To the immediate left, the ground dips down into a very small valley, or recess in the ground, around what is surely a dry creek, that may still run with water at some times of year. There isn't that much vegetation, with a few plants and high grass. The center is dried mud, and baren limbed trees line the rim.
>>170355
Posey looks out to see that the Bloodbourne from before is still there and "alive," though clearly damaged.

Posey's spectral hand should have passed its duration by now.
If Posey doesn't see anymore enemies, she'll approach the Bloodborn.

He's in front of the meadow, between it and the barn. His priestly robes are now a bit tattered, clearly pierced by multiple gunshots. He kneels on the ground, looking down. It isn't clear if he is praying or mourning. He turns back towards Posey as she approaches.
"I thought you had been destroyed." He says to her

"I'm not so easy to kill, even if I'm a lowbreed..." Posey replies, putting a hoof on his back and healing him 2 HP
"There is nothing left worth guarding here. It's time to go. There's a major not far from this sight, connected to the League: come with me."
