After escaping the circus, the Players found an isolated spot just off the road where they managed to free Mario and send him towards Peaches. They thought that perhaps they could convert the circus wagon to something closer to a normal cart, but unfortunately, this proved beyond their skills at the moment. Despite the late hour, the group decided to head off towards the Proud Home. They had heard rumors in Tervel that the slime lord Equanimious Slurp was now acting in the open, and Remi wanted to return and defend his erstwhile home.
Unfortunately for the party, the road proved to be more dangerous at night than it had during the day. At a turn in the path, just after forest trees began to cover the dim moon, a pack of vampire spawn ambushed them! Half of the rogues swept down the path towards Bart, while the other half climbed nimbly over some large boulders on the side of the road to flank the group. The battle proved difficult, with Gnick in particular taking the brunt of the blood-suckers attacks. However, they were able to lie one of the fiends low, and after that the other members of the group started to withdraw, especially those who had already fed. Two more fell, but two escaped. The Players managed to drag Gnick to the Proud Home, where they spent a week recuperating.
