Conall stepped back and Kasra set off the rune with a shock spell. It exploded harmlessly. Conall headed down the hall and kicked in the mercenary's door, where he beheaded the man and brought the severed head back to throw at the necromancer's feet. It was the equivalent of throwing down the gauntlet. "You will die or we will die, you son of a b---h.  You are one of the Necromancer's Lieutenants.  We cannot afford to let you live.  He charged in again.

Kasra ran into the street screaming at the top of her lungs. "A vampire!  There's a vampire in there!  He's going to kill my friends and then he's taking over the whole city!"

Every able bodied man within hearing distance came running at her screams, including the City Guards. Kasra pointed the way and they charged in. She saw one run for the castle to inform the soldiers there and hopefully secure assistance.

Kasra ran for the tower where Conall had stood vigil when she had tried to persuade the sellsword. Once inside, she stripped off the dress and pulled on her armor, almost falling over as she stomped into her boots and strapped them on. She slung pack and bow back on her back and ran out the doors which opened onto the path beside the harbor. Then she pelted up the path to the farm where Ranulf and Varenwen waited.

She ran full tilt into Varenwen and grabbed her by the hair, yanking her around to place her body between herself and Ranulf. She locked one arm around the Elf's throat in a choke hold and drove her dagger into the woman's back, just enough to let the tip pierce the skin right next to her backbone. "You traitorous wh--e!  You told me he wasn't hiding anything from us!" She then glared at Ranulf. If looks could kill he would have evaporated in flame in that moment.

"You Son of Dagon!  You knew!  You knew Clarent was a lieutenant of the Necromancer!  You sent us in there without telling us!  How could he even know Rowan much less lead us to him!?  Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you both right now!" Her fury was at fever pitch. Her Nord blood boiled in battle frenzy. It was all she could do not to sever Veranwen's spine right then.
