Probably she does indeed have it handled.

She strokes it's muzzle for a second and then hops into the saddle (it has a saddle i dunno if i mentioned this). Then she whistles again, but differently, and pretty much everyone in the bar snaps to attention and gets up to leave. This includes the "bouncers" from before. It's pretty much everyone except the bartender. You guys all notice it smells weirdly like a fen when the deer is nearby.

It takes something to handle it the way she does. Maybe you're not the beast expert but there's something fucky going on, a little bit uncanny.

>>Baker waits for the weirdos to leave, clutching the money tightly. Once they are gone we can hook Belezebug back to the wagon and GTFO. If we're going to take the vampire investigation job we should head back there right away. If they have and protection charms or tips we want to get that before sunset. If we're not going to take the vampire investigation job we should pack up and get out of town as soon as possible. Before noon, if we can. Either way, Baker would like to swing by the mage's guild today. Her report caused a stir, so chances are everybody has been gossiping about it all day, and maybe someone more knowledgeable has found some spells or whatever. I think our biggest risk is one of our guys getting charmed, so I'd really like to find some kind of protection from charm. If we can keep it a straight fight we have better chances. Daggers may be useless, but few creatures can ignore having limbs lopped off by Roz's huge axe.

I'll come with ya to the mage's guild - might be able to get them to make me an item I been thinkin' of that should be useful for huntin' the vampire - but sounds like the Temple of Justice is our first port of call. I also got a few matters to attend to before we leave town, shouldn't take too long - mostly done already. All in all should be ready to hit the road once we get rid of this drat Dracula."

Back at the guild the boss is still gone and apparently is at some inquisition temple or other. The guild mages have been doing a bunch of research and have determined that it's critical to find out what kind of vampire it is before trying to do any kind of special charms against it. One of the journeymen holds up a dusty tome "says right here some of 'em got no bones." Then he sighs and puts a flask of bone hurting juice away.

Other than that, you may wanna try and figure out other things you can do vs drac before nightfall.

They don't understand them. It's almost as if it's some esoteric in-joke... yet maybe it's more literal than anyone would have hoped. People of the city begin watching their backs, and the Inquisition begins receiving spurious reports of "vampires" that are all dead ends. It's drawing closer to nightfall.

There is some kind of vampire haunting the holy sepulchers and tombs of Xoma. This evil bullshit fucker is bad news and is totally loving poo poo up. It's big time against the laws of nature and all this type of poo poo to be that kind of undead and it's a problem. One of the Mages' Guild guys went to investigate and never came home. The Inquisition is not cool with this and is willing to pay you guys to be deputized if you can wreck this thing and end the problem. It's not super aligned with the Troll King, but you do know that the big boss is not ok with this kind of vile undeads so it might be worth it for you personally to gently caress em up. Plus if this drac gets ganked then innocent people will not have to worry about wandering the streets at night so it's sort of a win/win if you can actually face off vs it and win. Problem is nobody's 100% what kind of vamp it might be so this could be a pretty dangerous case to crack. Even if you guys were totally certain it's probably not going to be an easy job. In the meantime the only time-related job you guys have is Cannius Corno has been undead himself as a mummy and isn't really super cool with this turn of events and he figures if he's gonna get murdered he should be able to die for real. He needs revenge to do this though and is going to bail out with Diot Vail and her horsemen to go kill the witch who killed him. It's nbd if you guys don't want to help him, but on the other hand helping him means everyday live people in town could get ate by dracula so... it's up to you guys what you wanna do. Once Corno's murderer is brought to justice he can  and is done. He's gonna give whoever helps him big money.Corno likes you guys a lot and is more than willing to give advice and lore and poo poo like that, but he's ready to be fuckin' dead for real.
