Avicus had been one of the first few to arrive in their meeting room, posing as a live in patient had its perks it seems. Other than his almost daily interactions with a certain mage in the party. It was perfect otherwise since his vampiric nature didn’t allow him to go out too much usually. He watched as some of the others began to join in and Vanessa gathered their attention. The mission details were barely there and he certainly didn’t like the idea of working for a dragon like Lofwyr, but there was something that certainly interested him. [color=ed1c24]“A possibility of a dragon, you say? That’s… interesting.”[/color] A cocky grin spread across his face. The chance of fighting a dragon excited Avicus, but it also terrified him. There was always the looming threat of death but on this run more so than ever. He wasn’t going to let his team see him afraid though. The crew began to discuss a plan. Avicus thought Degen was on the right track with taking everyone out, but the rest of the group seemed to disagree. The Shaman, Joe, who Avicus was barely alright with in regards to magic users, suggested that as a plan B. And the blasted mage wanted to dismiss the idea of killing all together. [color=ed1c24]“Let’s be real here, there is no way we are going to get out of that place without shedding blood. Incapacitating them means they will only be a problem to us later. If we take them out then and there, we’ll have less of a problem if they decide to hunt us down after this mission is over with.”[/color] The vampire dealt with enough people with nasty grudges to know it’s not a great idea to leave your enemies alive. [color=ed1c24]“We aren’t going to be going in guns blazing of course but don’t be surprised if there’s any bloodshed. Besides, there always seems to be blood wherever I go.”[/color] It had been a little while since the last time he had ‘eaten.’ He was getting quite hungry.
