Caelynn date:

Xenia arrives at the tower.  Caelynn descends from the top on her broom wearing a sleek black dress.  "hop on, you're late"  Caelynn flies xenia to some ruins south of the swamp.  "in here" she says, pointing to a solid stone tomb.  Caelynn wants xenia to remove one of the walls of the tomb.  "put these on" she hands a pair of goggles to xenia which give her night vision and caelynn walks into the tomb.  after they descend a staircase caelynn's eyes glow red and she looks around.  she eventually finds a flat stone on the ground and says "down here"  xenia lifts the stone revealing a ladder.  caelynn floats down without using the ladder.  one of her ravens flies ahead as they walk.  it returns and squaks in her ear.  "ok, i'm going to get most of them but I need you to get the stragglers.  I have your back"  after a little more walking they reach an opening that is full of skeletons weilding longswords.   caelynn casts cone of cold killing most of them, leaving 10 behind for xenia.  she merges with her raven and flies behind xenia.  xenia steps forward and smashes the remainder, caelynn will fire a pair of exploding ravens out of her hands if necessary.  caelyn's eyes glow again as she inspects the two doors and points to the empty wall "this one"  after xenia smashes the wall they reach a room with a wooden coffin.  "alright, grab this and lets get out of here." xenia carries the 300 pound coffin out.  caelynn ties it to the second broom and they fly off to a river that feeds the swamp.  she tells xenia to tie the coffin up with some stones on top.  caelynn uses her eldritch blast to punch a few holes in the sides of the coffin, then tells xenia to dump it into the center of the river.  they sit next to the river, listening to the rushing water and looking up at the stars.  if xenia doesn't ask what that was about, caelynn will tell her anyway "the coffin belongs to a vampire, Dorian Strix.  he lives in the southswamp, I think he leads the swampfolk or just can control them. if you kill him he will return to life in his coffin a few days later.  mind you that's the coffin in the swamp, probably in or under his mansion.  if you destroy that one then kill him, he will return to his coffin here.  here, in the running water that will melt his flesh like acid and cause a terrible  agonizing death, every few days, for the next couple thousand years until the water eventually erodes his coffin away.  Do you like fish?"  Caelynn and xenia then go fishing together, light a fire and cook their fish.
