The undead commanded by Posey were killed rather early.

Because Vampire spawn are overpowered relative to other possibilities both as enemies or allies, also most of these are questionable to survive the death of their sire

Posey can see that a small fire was lit on a book to try to set the bookshelves on fire. But the barn?
Well...

"They likely set the barn on fire."
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.

"Load on everything worth taking!" She shouts to the thralls

Posey has stopped caring at this point. She sees the thralls jump on to her annoyance, but just gallops up anyway.
"Oh, buck me!"

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.

>With or without the paralysis?
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.
Also btw Posey had to drive all the way past Amber's original home to get here.

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?"

>Is that what they think is here?
"So it seems, but ulterior motives may be at play. I suspect August came here with the same motivations that I did: to investigate for any vestiges of the last vampire in Equestria. He should have suspected that the Leto would have had servants, plausibly other enslaved vampires and spawn under his command."
>they must have gone far
Wait... how long has it been since Posey walked into the room? I thought it was only a few rounds, maybe a minute.

>"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.

The Bloodbourne scrunches a bit more firmly, though his solid nose makes the expression incomplete
"So it seems, but I will kill him before he ever steps hoof in here."
Thralls are mentioned in the EAW Dread League lore, but not vampire spawn. So... meh
>far
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.

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.

Not when the enemy is immune to non-magical attacks, which is what I expected.

What about magical attacks?
Posey is trying to determine if that machine gun was magical.

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

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.

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.
