My Vampire

The Acquaintances With Weapons battle Belladonna Suprema in Obsidian for control of the Dreadwood thalmont.

## Major Plot Points

* Since being reborn, Peggy has started whittling wood and make candied beans.
* AWW arrives in Obsidian, the capital city of the Dreadwood Thalmont. At Macey's the party buys poison resistant armor for Olivia, fire resistant armor for Karen and Stzu San. At Southern Spell, Olivia buys a Geese spell scroll and four anti-charm potions distributed to Karen, Neuriel, Stzu San, and Olivia.
* The group then went to Blood Lake, which was a literal lake of blood. A ghost named Bloody Mary manifested to Lady Peggy. She said she was killed by vampires and her body was thrown into the lake. She asked the group to avenge her. She also led them to Obsidian's secret Ilmater church.
* In the church, Stzu San had her weapon blessed to deal an additional radian damage against undead and/or evil aligned creatures. Sudsy has his mason jar of blood blessed so that any vampire who drank it wouldn't be nourished and would be damaged by it instead. They gave two bottles of holy water to Karen and one bottle to Neuriel. Karen and Stzu San converted to the Ilmater faith.
* The party then went to Belladonna's castle where they were greeted by her guard. After speaking with him, Stzu San and Bigsby took psychic damage and felt very tired. The band of heroes realized they were dealing with an energy vampire. Fern stepped up and cast daylight on Ron's nose. This forced Ron to turn into a puff of smoke and go flying into the castle.
* In the foyer, fern listened to the many doors and helped lead the party to quietest one. The quiet room was a grand hall filled with portraits of Belladonna's life. They revealed she liked to kill animals as a kid, she was at Szass Tam's wedding to Sirgay Von Astra, and she fought alongside Szass Tam against King Barov.
* The party disarmed the traps around the frames and found a secret vault behind one of them. Stzu San picked the lock and Bigsby looted the vault for its 10,000 gold. Neuriel's detect magic revealed the potions in the vault were a polymorph potion, an ED potion, a photosynthesis potion, and a fart potion.
* Bigsby gave Peggy the witch's hat he found in the vault. Peggy put it on, discovering it was cursed and she couldn't remove it.
* Karen drank the photosynthesis potion. Her skin is now green and she can photosynthesize during a short or long rest. If she does this, she doesn't require food for that day. Any damage she takes from a spell involve daylight or sunlight instead heals her.
* Bigsby pocketed the fart potion. The party gave the ED potion to Dani. and Fern kept the polymorph potion.
* AWW then went into a room filled with cushions and soft couches. The aroma in here was very intoxicating, however, only Sudsy succumbed to the poison and fainted. This triggered the room's alarm.
* Stzu San, Bigsby, and Karen, who were waiting outside the aroma room, hid and launched a sneak attack against the vampire spawn guards. The rest of the party joined them and killed the spawn together.
* In the dining room, AWW found a table covered in human parts and a pile of corpses in the corner with a a passive aggressive note about cleaning up after yourself.
* The Acquaintances then found Hermes, the familiar of this vampire coven. Bigsby and Karen played good cop/bad cop on him to get information out of him. Olivia then cast plastic crown of madness on him, charming him.
* Hermes led AWW to the library where they found the ghost of a dead vampire named Bazil. He died while having sex and couldn't crossover until he complete his "unfinished business." Peggy offered him her cursed hat made out of witch skin that still had an asshole. Bazil accepted, phasing Peggy out of the hat and then finishing in it. The group made Hermes hide the hat under his shirt.
* AWW investigated a vampire sleeping chamber next. A vampire named Natalia was inside prepping for tomorrow's orgy. She thought the heroes were here for that - elated Belladonna finally invited non-humans. She said AWW could help themselves to the virgins in the basement who wouldn't make it through the night.
* The group finally found Belladonna in a medical chamber watching over her husband. Covenant agents fought Nando and removed his teeth, giving him silver fillings so he was in constant pain and his teeth wouldn't regrow. A vampire cleric attached tubes to Nando and an Obsidian peasant so he could feed via blood transfusions.
* Olivia told Hermes to try to put the witch's hat on Belladonna but he successfully dodged her familiar's attack. The party then launched their assault against the magister. Bigsby rushed to talk down her husband. Olivia struck at her with her blade. Karen unleashed solar energy. Belladonna cast dominate person on Stzu Sand. Sudsy stabbed her with his claws soaked in poisoned blood.
* Seeing his beloved critically injured, Nando begged Belladonna to stand down. The party then brokered a peace with her. Neuriel was able to remove the silver fillings in Nando's gums, saving his undead life. In exchange, Belladonna agreed to wear the cursed witch's hat and step down as magister. She also finally fulfilled her promise to Hermes and turned him into a vampire spawn.
* Belladonna shared that she was best friends with Szass Tam and knew him for almost their entire lives. She believed in and fought for freedom when she helped him take the Thayan throne. And she recognized Szass Tam is now mad with power. Their friendship made it difficult for her to upset him.
* When Bigsby asked what happened to Sirgay Von Astra, Szass Tam's husband, Belladonna said Szass Tam killed him to create his phylactery after Sirgay told Szass not to become a lich.
* Priest Vaughn Blitzen was elected to become the interim magister.
