Elven bolthole

Rygax has a network of safehouses across the Vampire Kings' territories. This one was home to a group of Elves and was protected by a ward that keeps out anybody without Elven blood (although half-bloods such as Rygax can also pass). Unfortunately, this ward was passable for someone touching a live, concious elf, so it was breached when Kaiser (who is elven but has no blood to speak of) captured a scout, allowing him to massacre the inhabitants with his Elf-bane hammer.
