An odd figure walks boldly along the road that his companions had taken before him. His skin was gold and his skin was ash, divided down the middle and yet connected.
He wore a mantle of gold and its weight was both upon his soul and his shoulders. For the mantle on his soul was stifling and liberating, giving new freedom to the lord of duality and giving bondage to him who put the mantle on. The burden was worth it, and he understood this, more so than the wizard who sought to understand it or the warrior who could not now be cared to wonder at it.
Lord Vivec journeyed with spear in hand down the road.

The witch turns to you, terror in her eyes, and as she opens her mouth to speak the creature strikes! Large and thin with a gray, vaguely feline body. The creature is mostly hairless with patches of long fur, and lashing tendrils along its spine. It has three sets of pale eyes and six exaggerated limbs ending with curved talons. The Nightmare tears into the Witch, smiling with rows of needle like teeth!
-
You turn back as a great ball of blue flame engulfs the Nightmare! When it clears, the creature and the witch are gone. Then you notice her leaning against a nearby tree, bloody, but still breathing. The travelers take this opportunity to take cover within the wagons and the larger man with the bow approaches, looking around cautiously. "Thanks for your help, friend."

You get a better look at the man, his red eyes and long sharp claws, and the fangs he reveals as he hisses... then something leaps out of the bushes to your left! (Because I completely forgot to specify directions, so is left now!)

[spoiler]This thing must have angered someone in heaven to have such bad rolls...[/spoiler] I keep pushing down on the spear to keep it down, then I raise my left hand and prepare a blast of magic as arcane mist flits about my fingertips. I then will let fly the blast at the prone vampire if all goes well. A 10. [spoiler]I'm working on making a 5e sheet for "Vivec" , so I don't have to rely on "magic blast" for my descriptive power.[/spoiler]
