Back to the group

"Percy, why didn't you tell us?" Keyleth asked hugging her arms to herself.  "I've tried to tell many over the years. No one's ever believed me." Percy said frustrated

"Wait. Vax is up there." Pike said in realization with a concerned voice. "What if he needs help?"

"Plus, he's got the squirts." Grog said believing Scanlan's earlier lie sounding concerned about that.

"Okay, I'll distract, you guys go... quietly." Scanlan said before he turned to the nobles who were standing around mingling while waiting for desserts and crawled up on the table. "Ladies and lords, allow Scanlan Shorthalt to delight you with an after-dinner song I like to call 'Pull My Beads of Love.'" And raised a hand up A-two, three, four!" The colours on his belt buckle started glowing "Give me a tug! ♪ Ha ♪ ♪ Now, I don't really know what you're thinkin' ♪"

"Ugh" kima groaned in disgust, in another part of the room the man from before drank his champagne watching the gnome with a red hue from the alcohol "♪ When you're lookin' at a gnome like me ♪ ♪ Ow! But I can show you somethin' special, whoa! ♪" while everyone was distracted, the group snuck out

Vax breaths trembled, a caressed his cheek "You are a curious one." Sylas says. Delilah sat on the bed watching, Vax tried to move " and you look delicious." The man smirked and chopped down on his neck, fangs piercing skin
Vax snapped him out of his trance, he groaned in pain and broke out of his grip, rolling to the floor away from them as his wife stood next to him, licking the blood

Vax clenched his neck, panting "Come now. Let's get this over with" clenching his eyes he turned and jumped out the window, landing in the fountain below

He coughed up water he inhaled before seeing Sylas land without any problem, his wife joining

"Chenga..." he weakly groaned before falling

With the group

vex felt something wrong with her brother "Vax... we have to move." Vex stated  to the others who were looking for the missing ticket so they could get their stuff back

"We lost the ticket?" Pike asked frustrated

" who had it last?!" Mara asked

"Screw it, Grog!"Pike yelled

"Come here fuckstick!" Grog said yanking the soldier out of the booth as Percy, Mara and vex jumped over the counter giving everyone their weapons before running to find Vax

Meanwhile

Vax crawls back, she clenching his neck, when Sylas got close, he swiped his dagger forward, Sylas dodged his every attack, cutting his chest with his shape nails then lifting him up by the throat "There's no way out tonight, my friend" he smirked, about to kill him, when suddenly a bird screeching and saw an eagle flying they're way, it scratched at Sylas to keep him from choking Vax, who he threw got down into the water of the fountain

Delilah struck with purple lighting the eagle which turned out to be Keyleth Crashing to the ground and shifting back into her half elf form.

"Delilah!" Percy yelled shooting his gun at her as she faded into purple mist, his gun clicked, meaning he need to reload

"Would you look at that dear? It's the pup who survived, all grown up." Delilah said earning a hard glare from vex and Mara as Percy reloaded his gun.

"Step off bitch." Vex glared aiming an arrow as Mara drew a symbol in midair Yelling " Fulminis!"

Firing the arrow and lighting, only for Delilah to break then, and block the lighting with her purple magic, then sending a wave at the group, causing them to fly back.
