Re: Heroes for Hire (Save the desert group!)
"Hmm..." The death knight rested her chin between thumb and forefinger as she considered the options before her. "Choices, choices." A few moments prior, Aurelia would have shouted, wailed, and gnashed her teeth at the appearance of more decisions to make and the lack of enemies to dispatch. The refuge from the blazing sun did much for her mood, however. Any longer under the obnoxious ball of flame and she might have gone berserk. Regardless of anything that the guard tower might have lacked for, its shade alone made it the very height of comfort for the ashen knight.
As it was, she could move at her leisure. If there were any enemies in the tower they were hers to dispatch. The half-vampire might even find the time to indulge her thirst, if she was lucky. But how to choose which set of stairs to explore first... "Squire, inside." The woman called out to her thrall, much more calmly than she had addressed him while outside. She glanced around the room as the undead gemini stumbled in. Once he was inside and at attention, she gave the order. "Hand me my helmet and then spin in place as fast as you can."
She had no doubt that the order would be carried out unquestioningly, no matter how peculiar, the husk being incapable of treason. After retrieving the helmet, the half-vampire stowed it under her arm as she watched her servant begin to spin. Aurelia allowed the act to continue for several seconds before suddenly extending a hand and giving the spinning zombie a push. It wasn't exactly rough but the motion was more than enough to put her creation off balance. The undead creature stumbled a few steps before crashing to the ground. The important part, for Aurelia at least, was that the heap of fallen zombie was pointing towards the downward stairs. "Down it is, then."
The dispassionate woman gave her thrall a hand back to its feet before returning the helmet to its care. "Hold this. Stay by the door. Screech, make some noise, or draw some attention if anything hostile comes from upstairs," she gave the short and plain orders to the undead gemini, promptly ignoring it after they were issued and turning to advance towards the stairs. Aurelia didn't expect the creature to survive, or perhaps even notice any assailants, if more gemini came from upstairs, but at least she would be able to feel the energy she had poured into the creation being snuffed out if it came down to it.
With everything else handled, the death knight began her descent of the stairs, sword and shield in hand. Even though she took the time to glance at her surroundings cautiously, Aurelia was anything but. Her armor clanked with such frequency and volume that anything that could be below surely already knew she was there. If that wasn't enough, the brazen half-vampire began to sing lowly to herself as she moved.
"Dance like a marionette," she softly sung, humming the next bit as she forgot the lyrics. It was really just another day in her profession, for her.

Aurelia will go down the stairs.
The undead gemini's new orders are to stand in front of the door. If any enemies come down the stairs (or up, or into the guard tower period) then screech or make a bunch of noise somehow. It's free to defend itself too, of course.
Aurelia's applicable stats: 11 Speed, 60 Dodge, 19 Armor, 26 Resistance, 23 Perception, -1 Stealth, 52 Grapple.
Fun Fact: Yes. Yes, she is humming Symphony of Destruction.

Cheat Sheet
When dealing HP damage: On a killing blow she makes a 21 + (Damage done/10)*Tier vs enemy resistance check against all opponents within 30 feet and in line of sight of her. If they fail they're unable to attack that round. If they fail twice they retreat or surrender.
When taking HP damage: 16 of her AV is due to Splint Mail, which has a DU of 6 and a TP of 50. She reduces damage dealt by /4 after armor due to her vampire mutation.
When dealing PP damage: She deals an additional +6 PP damage during penetrative sex due to Tight x3.
When taking PP Damage: She takes an additional +12 PP damage from Sensitive x3. She also has 5 fetishes but I'm not really sure how to list them here. >.>
Has Fertile (Pregnant on roll of 2 or more)
When taking EP damage: She takes an additional +4 EP damage from Open Soul.
She has foul aura, NPCs are more likely to distrust her.
