A Survey of the Vampires

It is unusual to see fear on the face of a thrall.

The brides of the vampires are worried too.

They have retired to the castle keep and the vampires are guarding the walls near them.

The brides shrieks curdle the blood of the attackers.

This one can't decide to go to the keep, or exist the castle via the secret escape door in the round tower.

The round tower is guarded by the most extreme of the vampires.

Nosferatu knows they are doomed.
 

Humans Knock on the Door

All the knights and men at arms in the shire are up in arms over the vampire plague.

They have laid siege to the old castle and are trying a direct attack.

The vampires are at a bit of a loss as open warfare is not their usual technique.

The vampires and their thralls man the ramparts.

But they don't use weapons on a regular basis.

They will have to hope the men will not break down the door.
