Daddy Dearest

by Nepheri

It's time, and I have trouble thinking of anything but the goal at hand. And our trip through the sewers went almost unexpectantly with Ellywick managing to navigate our way and Dworik and Kaja together keeping us safe from traps. Once inside the secret room that allowed access to the house, we were discovered by the cook and, I presume, her assistant. Both of them charmed by the vampires of the house, of course, but some display of my devilish side later could convince them to give up some information. Not sure if the others are bothered by threatening to drag someone's soul to eternal suffering so that we could move on quicker, not sure I care.
 
We encountered two of the vampire spawn in this basement, and I'm pleased to say that they are now dust. The servant whose name we never got, and Julia Redderhox are no more. The grave dirt in what I assume is their coffins, though it might be my father's and Kerala's, is now in the sewage outside, which should count as running water and make it impossible for the vampires to respawn. And they'd end up degraded in waste even if they do. Always something.
 
We encountered a slight problem on our way up as two servants blocked our way. Not sure if Dworik's strategy of shooting one of them in the throat was a good idea considering the other likely went to seek help. I sent Eye to hopefully help us know if the Waterdeep Watch is about to interrupt us. And then we found him along what we assume is the last of the vampire spawn remaining in the house. My father was holding a knife to the throat of some hapless girl who, unfortunately, will have to suffer what she must. This is it. Either he is destroyed, I die, or both. It is up to the Raven Queen which it is.
