On the middle tier of the Doomcrag, Montclair has imprisoned the vampire Gwendis within a ‘blood ward’.  It is only a matter of time before she breaks free her bonds and succumbs to the boundless hunger to feed upon Tamrith and Dorell.

Whilst Verandis uses his mind to attempt to overcome the wards, I set my vigour to vanquishing the oncoming undead.  Sometimes however, even strength and intellect must bow to common practicality, for it is only through resourcefulness that we might save the lives of the nobles, and the spirit of Gwendis.
