Happenings

§ Details
010 The party heads to Morgrave University to research vampires. They learn vampire spawn are created and controlled by existing vampires; that they have weaknesses to sunlight but are immune to disease, paralysis, and sleep; they are resistant to ordinary weapons, but are affected by silver blades; that they can quickly restore their health; that they rest in coffins; that they are only rejuvenated by drinking blood directly from a person that they haven’t already fed from within the last few days; that they can turn into bats, wolves, or mist; that they can dominate others; and that transforming into a spawn requires a ritual performed upon a person killed by a vampire bite.
006 Cinder reveals to the party he is not a student at Morgrave University, and instead is an experimental warforged (alongside Boreal and Root) that is able to forge a connection to other planes and draw on their powers. He is nervous about Merrix d'Cannith's interest in him. Talos reassures him that Merrix has progressive views about warforged autonomy.
006 The following day, Lark heads to Morgrave University library and researches the Blood of Vol and the Bloody Blade Shrine. She doesn't find out much regarding shrines in Sharn but learns about the importance of blood in Blood of Vol rituals. She also learns that Seekers rituals manage the destructive impact of Mabar manifest zones.
004 Talos questions Cinder about his Morgrave University cover story. Cinder expresses worry about drawing the attention of Merrix d'Cannith. Talos reassures him of Merrix's progressive views toward Warforged.
004 Cinder is caught attempting to break into Morgrave University. He runs from the guards with no success in furthering the investigation.
