A fantasy city street at night

5th Brussendar 835 PD

The party navigates the perils of Daestok at night, with Serene suggesting a strategic split into smaller groups to avoid guard patrols. While Serene and Whisper reach their destination, a secretive organization's house, without incident, Rico and Koro endure a chase by city guards.

Upon entering the cellar of the house, Koro warns the group to avoid disturbing spider webs, to prevent awakening guard spiders. Serene and Rico, opting for caution, wait at the entrance to avoid unnecessary confrontation. The house owner, a human man, reassures the group of their safety and is visibly surprised upon learning about the vampire threat and the evidence the party has obtained.

The information about vampires is deemed crucial by the owner for addressing the instability in Daestok. A divine healer is summoned to tend to the party's wounds. The group is then offered accommodation for the night, where Serene remains vigilant, choosing not to sleep deeply.

In the early morning, Serene departs the house after a brief exchange with Koro and the female host, displaying her typical aloofness and indifference to the host's Drow heritage. She acknowledges the other party members with a nod as she exits, maintaining her detached demeanor.
