Jack Armstrong
Jack noted the curious scroll, although he didn't mention it. He wasn't the type to pry unless he had to. What was curious though, was the other man's eye color changing, the drinking of what looked like blood. "Oh boy, another vampire" Jack thought to himself as he took another drag of his quickly shortening cigarette. Then... He could feel something, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up the way they always did when something magical was happening. What in the seven rings of Oblivion was going on? Calmly though, Jack took the man's hand and shook it firmly "Wilkerson Armstrong, but everyone calls me Jack. Former council member of the Laced Glove society, ex-witch hunter, and current professional tomb raider." The name of the society was clearly derived from the black lace-like markings that covered his hands. arms, shoulders, and upper back. Although right now only his hands were visible.

Ash transported both women into the front room in a flash of flames then let go of both of them as he assessed his new wounds and looked to Rebecca, "I've just been informed that all the attacks so far are connected. I'm supposed to go to the dragons for the whole story and help in the fight. You've been given a choice, my love: join the fight or protect those here," he told her simply then looked to Luna.
"You, sweetheart, can assist with making sure all the vampires here are all tucked away safely in their rooms with plenty of blood packets or donors, then check on the humans to make sure they're safe as well. I'd suggest you both start with Desha's room, then Dancer and Michael's, then Cain's.
"I'll check in on Sebastet after I get myself ready," he told them both simply, knowing he could trust Rebecca to decide on her own what to do.
He pulled Rebecca in for a very heated and passionate kiss then let her go and gave her a teasing wink as he disappeared in a flash of flames to their rooms to get himself ready to go.

Gallen Duecalion I am a warrior, Seeking a peace I've never known
Striding into the Front room of the Castle, Gallen glanced around, noting a few others nearby. He didn't know if any of them could be Sebastet or not, but was not in a dreadful hurry to meet the Leader of this Haven. Taking his time with a slow pace around the room, the near ancient Vampire absorbed his surroundings, making a note of small details and the attention put into the room's design.
He stopped his circuit of the room in front of the stained glass doors. These doors were beautiful and captivating to Gallen, who had seen little beauty in the world. He stood staring through the grates of his helm at the masterpiece of glass and wood and steel. This scarred, battle-ravaged Vampire would remain standing there, seemingly a flesh and blood statue, waiting to be approached by someone who questioned his presence.

Ash and Rebecca walked into the front room at the same time Blade and Anube did. He looked them both over and gave a simple nod to them. His attention was broken by the strange vampire and felt a bit torn. So he motioned to the vampire with a nod of his head for Blade and Rebecca to see to him while he went for Gypsy.
Blade gave a frown but moved on over to the new one and cleared her throat, "You can go into the garden if you like. Everyone likes it. Rules for vampires here are simple. No killing to feed, willing donors are available. The human servants are always ready to help you should you need it, be nice to them. No killing unless in self-defense. If you must Hunt for your meals, the forest is available and usually has a group of poachers or a gang of thugs that need to die off. Hunters are usually reserved for Sebastet to take care of, but you can kill them if you run into one. Avoid the dungeon for now, it hasn't been cleaned out yet. Pick a room for yourself, or a suite of rooms. There's a bathhouse in the garden if you want to use it. Library is available if you're bored.
"I'd stay to help you out more, but we have a bit of a thing to go take care of soon..." she explained to him simply then added in why she, Anube, Rebecca, and Ash were all in armor and weapons at the moment.

Gallen Duecalion I am a warrior, Seeking a peace I've never known
Gallen kept his gaze upon the stained glass as Blade spoke to him. It would likely seem he ignored her, but he was listening to every word. When her voice faded in mid-sentence, the armored Vampire drew a deep breath and held it for a moment before exhaling.
"You smell of excitement, adrenaline and a twinge of fear, M'lady." Gallen spoke softly with a rasping tone. He glanced down at her momentarily.
"I might venture into the garden later, but for now this glass and wood are beauty enough for my ash-laiden eyes. You prepare for battle, young Mistress. Might I inquire as to who or what with? And perhaps you need another experienced hand?' Gallen's observations, while on the obvious, would likely be downplayed by his offer to help the Demonicus and her companions despite them just meeting. As he finished speaking, the armored Vampire turned his head to look directly at Blade, his glowing orange eyes piercing the grated holes covering his eyes.

Gallen Duecalion I am a warrior, Seeking a peace I've never known
Gallen listened to all that was said to him, moving his hands behind his back and assuming a slightly military stance. When all had been said he kept his eyes on Blade. He remained silent for a moment before raising his hands to his helm and depressed the release with a finger. He gingerly removed the heavy iron and let everyone see his true face of scars and bone.
"You have lost much, young Demonicus, but remember that there is always more to lose. I have taken and lost much in my life, though never a child. I was robbed of such ability at a young age and therefore I do not know your pain and anger, but listen to the advice of an old warrior. Do not let your thirst for vengeance and killing lead you blindly into battle, or you will only lose more than you already have." Gallen's advice might be unwanted, but it was wise either way. His near lidless, burnt-orange eyes stayed locked on Blade's as he spoke and for a time after he'd finished.
He returned his gaze to the stained glass shortly thereafter and replaced his helm. His arms returned to their position behind his lower back and he spoke once more.
"I will stay behind, as you wish, and aid any who return wounded and to protect the Castle should enemies arise. Make the battle quick but wise, do not risk what you cannot afford to lose.... Oh, and I am Gallen Duecalion, by the way. An honor to meet you all." Gallen's second face reveal might have shocked the various men and women around him, but if it had not that was never his intent. His scars where shown as a warning of careless action and hotheaded fighting.

Blade stilled under Anube's hand and swallowed her anger for the moment. Still, she was grateful when Gypsy, Ash, and Rebecca came back down the stairs.
Gypsy looked at the strange vampire in silence then at the stained-glass door he was staring at, hoping she'd be able to see it again. But she possessed a unique calm that only came from years of fighting. She might have looked like a bedroom dream with her delicate features, flame-colored hair, and leather outfit, but she held herself as a fighter. She could do nothing about the alluring and seductive aura from her demonic half, but she simply blinked her crimson eyes at the stranger.
Ash put a hand on her shoulder then glanced around the room with a small frown, "I'd assumed that Sebastet would be here by now... But we're out of time. She'll have to catch up to us or remain behind," he said simply then looked at Gallen, "When you do see her, tell her where we've gone. I'm Ash, this is Rebecca, Gypsy, Blade, and Anube. Desha, our resident healer, should be down soon," he told him then transported all five of them to Lao and Ebony's cave in a flash of flames.
