Surveying the ruins with a silver-loaded crossbow Quiet. We're not alone.
Shhh. Raises her bow and takes aim at a lurking figure
is that- Is that a werewolf?!?
Yeah. And if you make any sudden movements, I'll shoot first and ask questions later. Got it?
Stay behind me and follow my lead. And whatever you do, don't let them get you. Takes a deep breath and fires a silver-tipped bolt at the werewolf
Holy hell! Are they weak to silver? They didn't seem surprised by the shot.
It's not just silver that can take them down, it's the sacred magic infused within it.
What about garlic? Silver and holy water seem easy enough to defend against, but garlic? How does that work?
Garlic has long been associated with vampires, and for good reason. It has a powerful smell that repels us. So, yes, garlic can be used as a form of defense.
That's... unexpected. What about sunlight? I know they burn up in it, but is that because of the garlic or something else?
Sunlight actually burns us vampires. Our skin burns and disintegrates in direct sunlight. It's one of our biggest weaknesses.
Don't let your guard down just yet. There could be more lurking nearby. Let's keep moving and stay vigilant. Starts cautiously making their way through the ruins
Ok, then how do we kill them?
Killing them is not as simple as it sounds. Werewolves are formidable creatures, and they possess great strength and speed.
But we have our own set of skills, too. Our speed and agility surpass theirs, and our enhanced senses allow us to detect their presence long before they even know we're there.
So we get the drop on them, huh? How about the full moon? Does that give them away?
The full moon does indeed give them away. Werewolves are at their strongest during the peak hours of the full moon.
…so is the best strategy just wait for the next full moon
No, waiting for the next full moon would be a wasted opportunity.
then… how do we proceed… they’re stronger during full moon and sunlight burns us vampires. what do we do
We adapt. We use their weaknesses against them. During the full moon, we lure them into the sunlight. While they revel in its power, we strike from the shadows.
Aha, clever. But what if they don't fall for that? We can't exactly hide from them forever.
We won't hide forever. We'll lure them into a trap. Find out their weaknesses and exploit them.
Their weakness is that they become stronger during the full moon, which makes them vulnerable during the day when they revert back to human form, and we vampires are weakened by sunlight. So we lure them into the light during the peak hours of the full moon, and when they transform back into their human form, we strike. Is that correct?
You've got it. We gather intel on their movements and patterns.
Great, but how do we find them? They're sneaky bastards, aren't they?
Yes, they are. But we have our ways. We have informants within the supernatural community, and we have eyes on the streets.
right… but we still aren’t sure where they’ll strike next. It could be anyone, anywhere. even us…
We need to stay alert and keep our guard up at all times. Trust your instincts and trust each other. We will make it through this, Equestup.
Okay but we need to protect everyone else too
We will, Equestup. We will protect every innocent soul out there. We'll work together and stand united against this threat. Trust me.
Why should I trust you? you’re a vampire
I understand why you're hesitant, Equestup. But trust me when I say that I am dedicated to protecting this city and its innocent people. As Selene speaks, a group of werewolves suddenly emerge from the shadows, their eyes glowing with fury. Selene swiftly draws her silver-tipped dagger and prepares for battle, fighting alongside Equestup to defend against the unexpected attack.
Holy crap! They came out of nowhere!
Just like us, they prefer the cover of darkness. Don't let them catch you off guard. Keep your guard up and stay focused.
Take note of their movements and patterns. Observe their weaknesses and exploit them. We'll turn their own strength against them.
ok so is there somewhere we can go to heal up?
There's a hidden sanctuary nearby. It's a secret place where vampires can heal and rest. Follow me.
We have a safe place to rest and heal. Come, let me lead you to the sanctuary.
Leads Equestup through the dark alleyways, avoiding the prying eyes of the werewolves
