Now, on Occupied Equestria: Silver is storming the Ministry building to find a changeling bomb. Posey is making her get away from unknown hostiles after an adventure in the city. Amber is trying desperately to flee the country. All of that, and more

Okay, Posey has two lvl 1 slots left. She could try defiling to get some back, but... I'm so embarrassed by that last post that I don't want to use the Dragon #315 table for the rest of the fight. Or the rest of the game, idk.
Posey has a Spectral Hand active, so she can make touch attacks at a range, although they have her out-powered with ranged attacks.
>>170074
Thinking fast, Posey casts Hide From Undead (DC 15), and opens the door to the other room, stepping through.

In the room behind Posey, the gunfire continues. This is not a small amount of gunfire, as it consists of numerous shots and continues for some seconds. If Posey remains right there in the doorway, she is in line of fire. If she moves a few feet to the left, or a few feet to the right, she is not in the line of fire. For the moment, Posey is evidently not the target.
The cave itself is twice the length, at least, of the cellar chamber Posey left. It's 12 or more feet high in its higher areas, though much is less. The floor is uneven.
Posey looks into the cave to see, in the dull light, the forms of one, two three, four, five, six, seven... Is that an eighth form? All equine in Nature. They move curiously towards the sound
The first is clearly in the form of a pink pegasus pony, a mare in Royal Guard armor. She has golden eyes, and she looks directly at Posey. Her lips and snout are pale. Her neckguard is broken off. She has a scabbard containing a physically broken sword.
Somewhere behind is a large, bay earth pony with a red and blue plaid shirt. He has an axe on a decayed wooden belt. His black snout is likewise pale. He is a bit further away, and less attentive.
Near him is an orange earth pony stallion, wearing a beige sheriff's deputy uniform, a badge, and the name of Callahua County. He too stares blankly towards the wall. He wears a wide brimmed cowboy beige hat. He has a revolver on a leather belt, and an electric torch.
On the right side is a young dark purple mare wearing a long, black dress. Her mane is still tied back, and she carries a red purse, and a camera.
Between the set is a pair of ponies. One is somewhat familiar looking light green stallion with a short mane cut combed over to the left side. He carries nothing. Next to him is a mare who wears a kitchen apron and a familiar necklace.
But to the right, and also staring right at Posey, is a small white colt. He has his cutie mark - a stick - but must be young. He looks tired, and wears a red bandana around his neck, and a beige shirt that resembles a uniform. He carries a knife, and a small net on a small pole.

Posey hears an answer from the far back
"He slumbers no more"
In the far back, Posey sees another equine form an elderly red earth pony stallion, standing over a pair of caskets, wearing a black cassock, a purple epitrachelion that is gilt on its sides, and a black mitre. He carries a very long silver staff with a gilded kolovrat on the top. His eyes are red, and very serious.
"Why have you come here?!"

Correction. The stallion does not wear a mitre. He wears a Kalimavkion with a long, black veil hanging down the back.

"He has." The stallion laments. "I have known that for a long time... But to have it confirmed...
"Little Leto Pannolovich was not a great Vampire, by any means. He was brash, thirsty, and impatient. But he was the spawn - in both senses of the term - of Veliky Pannolovich, and he was strong. He was the last of the Nobles in the region."
>>170108
He looks directly to her
"When we left, the masses and what was left of the nobles were killing each other in a civil war, and it was spreading. My thought was to wait them out. If they want to kill their betters, and rule themselves, they will fall to pieces soon enough. I drove Leto across many miles and many rivers. He made a mess wherever he went, however. He was going to be tracked down sooner rather than later. That pink mare came here one night. He got her. But then he left later that night, and never came back. Of course I knew what happened. So I stayed here. There seemed to be no point in going anywhere."
He looks to her
"Vengeance would be quite satisfying, if I could find who did it." He answers

Oh, that was easy.
I was preparing a persuasive speech
"I came to for the satisfaction of slaying the last vampire hunter in Equestria... I want him, I want his corpse...! But you, thrall, you have failed, and now the blood of Nabassus has been estinquished from this realm. Go and face him, and fulfill your last duty."

Yeah, vampire spawn are no joke, and neither are vampires. They're arguably more dangerous when it comes to their array of powers.

This is doable, as the fire has just started, and there isn't much tender. There were not many, or very possibly any, books on the shelves. The worst is an article of clothing which must be pulled away from the shelf.

The disk follows behind her. It's used to carry things.
She leaves with whoever leaves with her.
Then again, would the fire necessarily spread below the ground? Posey doesn't have to worry about smoke.

Okay, the difference between the vampire spawn and the thralls changes Posey's plans a bit. I was suspecting that they would either be ghouls or vampire spawn.
Rolling Religion to know what the general capabilities of "thralls" are, as opposed to true vampire spawn
[1d20+8 = (6+8) = 14]
And another roll for the Bloodbound
[1d20+
As for the fire situation, would it necessarily affect the cave beneath the lair? If the barn burns down, the cavern shouldn't be affected, except for smoke.
We could wait out the fire, but that might create opportunity for the EL to escape, although I doubt they'd leave knowing that we're still here. They also want the treasure, so they're bound to return.

Their capabilities are not radically different from those they had in life, save the usual advantages of the undead
(similar to ghouls)
>Bloodbound
shurgs
Not less than he had in life, and likely more.
None have the extreme strength and durability of true vampires
>Fire
In short, the fire affects little save for potentially cutting off the obvious exit point. The cavern is too low and insufficiently flammable to catch fire. So long as the fire in the cellar is put out, at least.

Ah, so l guess they're like Necropolitans like Posey, only with different lore.
>similar to ghouls
With or without the paralysis?
I don't want to nitpick/metagame, but that's something of strategic importance.
Ghouls make up most of the lower class of the Dread League, so Posey would be familiar with them and their powers.
>None have the extreme strength and durability of true vampires
Well, so long as they do as I say (Posey still has 6 Rebuke attempts), they might be as least as useful as zombies.
The ghost-thingies that Posey controlled were destroyed, but
there are two more, right? Posey would like to take control of the other two to have them scout the situation above.
Now, in character:
Posey turns to the bloodbound Butler guy.
"You thirst for revenge, and I cannot risk exposing the operations of the League here. We absolutely cannot allow them to escape.
The band seek the treasures hidden in this lair, but being among the living they surely value their own lives more, so their flight is more than plausible. The Paladin August, I presume, will not be one to flee when the blood of the vampires still lingers here, and I intend to face him before his comrades convince him to leave."
She turns to the thralls, her chin turned up authoritiely.
"Grab whatever weapons you can find, we strike momentarily."
Since thralls and ghouls are the bottom of the hierarchy in the Dread League, Posey, as an apprentice mage, outranks them. Since they are intelligent undead, they can benefit from Posey's presence through her Necromantic Commander Aura (+1d6 damage to living creatures).
Of course, this only counts if they serve her. If the thralls show any hesitation to combat, Posey might have to rebuke them.
Posey draws her longbow, and ties her cape back while letting her hood ride to reveal her grotesque barding.

There are two more ghost soldiers, but Posey will have to try again to control them.
"You bring these hunters to me and expect me to kill them?" A half moment's pause, and "I suppose I should thank you for the opportunity. Treasure? Is that what they think is here? They found us instead." He moves around to grab his staff. "You shouldn't be surprised that they are retreating. Only one dared come to the lair before. A lone mare who wondered the night. They did not come after her. If little Leto was destroyed all the way down at the river, they must have gone far. In the old days, yak raiders would feign retreat to draw soldiers into ambushes. Perhaps they did the same to Leto. Knowing him, it would have worked."
The Bloodbourne scrunches at any effort by Posey to control the thralls. "And who do you think has been their master for so many years?"

"Are you not your master's favorite? You are their master now, so long as you can control these unfortunate spawn."
Posey silently thinks that Leto must have been a dumbass lowbreed for not turning any of his undead thralls into proper spawn, but she doesn't say this aloud, being adumbass lowbreed herself. She suspects that perhaps Leto was the more savage variant though, given records of his behavior.

Well, I look forward to that. It would be fun to go on an adventure some time.

That statement was in reference to the incident that killed Leto "Plivy" Pannolovich twenty years before.
It's been approximately a minute, likely less, since Posey entered the cavern, with most of that time probably spent trying to put the fire out.

>It's been approximately a minute
Oh good, I should still have spectral hand up.
Rolling to rebuke the incorporeal thingies

With this roll, Posey rebuked undead as a lvl 11 Cleric. Any undead with effective HD of 5 or less should be commanded (up to 7 HD maximum).

I'm going to roll Religion, to get a better understanding of these undead, as I have observed them in combat now. I expected them to hold off the ponies for longer, as the lowest level incorporeals are usually a death sentence to low level martials. It appears as though they don't have the full benefits of the incorporeal subtype, but are able to manipulate objects as though with the ghostly grasp feat.

Spirits, or at least the facsimiles of such things, tied to specific objects; usually soldiers attached to militaria. They have approximately the same powers as the living creature (a bit lower, perhaps), save that as incorporeal entities, half of non-magical attacks go through them.
>usually a death sentence
It helps when you have repeating firearms, and a submachine gun, and also a Paladin with a magic sword
>>170207
These things are definitely dead, and are magically animated.
A rifle rises, as does a spear and set of lamellar armor, and before Posey appears the spectral silhouette of a pegasus pony inhabiting a floating set of armor, with the spear fixed like a lance. Next to it is the silhouette of an earth pony wearing a white uniform with black patches, a white cap with black trim, while holding a Vlazhny Samorodok bolt action rifle. They each tilt in a bow towards Posey, as if tipped by a puppeteer's string.

Considering that I rolled higher than last time, these guys should be commanded.
Posey has 5 Rebuke Attempts left.
>>170210
Sorry, I got distracted.
>It helps when you have repeating firearms, and a submachine gun
Not when the enemy is immune to non-magical attacks, which is what I expected.
>half of non-magical attacks
What about magical attacks?
Posey is trying to determine if that machine gun was magical.
>They each tilt in a bow towards Posey, as if tipped by a puppeteer's string.
Perfect.
"Pursue the enemy. Cut off their path to escape." Posey commands telepathically.
"Focus fire on the unicorn bearing the heavy artillery, then the swordsman." Posey commands.
"Everyone else gets ready to engage them aboveground." She says aloud
Posey moves to the entrance of the cellar, trying to maintain cover.
She looks for any ponies within 170 feet.

Be advised that Posey does not have visibility in any direction for 170 feet. Posey can move from the cavern into the cellar, and then above the cellar is the barn. There are no ponies
The spirits nod, and move into the cellar, and try to move out
>>170232
It appears that it is, and that furthermore, the wagon has been moved up against the door as it was before.
Of course any fire has been freshly set, so it's hardly a raging inferno.

Of course it's right when I step out for 20 minutes...
Posey moves up the cavern and tells the others to follow her. She says at least 60 ft behind the spirits.
>freshly set
Can it be snuffed out?

Maybe? Either way, the wagon must be moved first to enter the barn.
The cavern is maybe 60 feet in length altogether, so the distances underground are not that large

Posey follows after the spirits then, 30 ft behind them.
She conjures an Unseen Servant from her spellstitching, and puts it to work snuffing out the fire.
Since this is night, the electric torches should be visible from pretty far away, right? Posey telepathically commands them to relay anything they see.

I would roll spot for the spirits, but idk what their stats are.
>>170251
While the spirits can, and do, move through the cracks between the wagon and the door, Posey cannot.

[1d20 = 19]

Posey orders the spirits to move around the wagon and engage the enemy, while she waits for the thralls to help her push the wagon.

Doable, most certainly, but be advised:
The wagon itself has been set on fire, and unlike the bookshelves, the wood in the wagon is dry and receptive. It has already lit up like a candle. The thralls will likely take some damage

How heavy is the wagon?
Posey can push a maximum load of 3450 pounds across the ground, which should double to 69000 pounds if wheels count as a favorable condition.
I guess this is as good a time as any to ask how unicorn telekinesis works when it comes to lifting and pushing.

Posey's telekinesis, and telekinesis in general, is substantially weaker than her physical strength. She could likely push it in such a way, though she'd be physically close to it, and would proceed slowly.
