[h3]Giselle de Farry[/h3][i]Undead Princess, de Farry[/i] [hr] [b]“I see,”[/b] she said, following the human blacksmith inside her home. She would have to look into the others when she had the time. She frowned when she elaborated. Lamp signals and runners? She supposed technology had degraded quite a bit, but Giselle thought constructing a telegraph system wasn’t that difficult, even with regressed technology. She supposed it was too dangerous to do line work, or she was just out of touch. Wouldn’t that be a thought. Giselle idly asked a follow up question. [b]“Fire lit lamps, or oil lamps with Fresnel lens?”[/b] Depending on the answer, she could more accurately gage the village’s technology. [b]“Hmm, so the vampire is new, as are the undead. The former we can likely deal with, but undead dragging themselves up from the oceans is curious, if a bit ominous.”[/b] She recalled the skeletal beast they had recently encountered, and imagined a sea monster equivalent to it. That was the stuff of nightmares, even for vampire lords. As she settled in for a quick rest, she raised her eyebrows as Dragan and Aleksiya filed into Julene’s house as well. [b]“The immediate situation is dealt with, then?”[/b] she nodded to confirm Dragan’s question, before letting him continue on, frowning as he went on. [b]“Interesting. Good to know,”[/b] she finally said, filing the information to review later. The two stopping by the largest settlement in the region on their way to Alavaris made sense, but knowing that they had a third that had been meddling with the beasts pushed her to be more wary of them. Giselle took a moment to relay the two newcomers of what they had found, before concluding with her suggestion. [b]“If we are all sufficiently rested now, we must investigate this vampire of the forest.”[/b]
