“Two at once, and all by yourself,” remarks the baron. “From what I recall, their poison can be nasty — I hope you weren’t too badly injured.”

Vermleks are a type of demon formed from the souls of mortals who desecrated corpses, like necromancers or people who rob graves to sell their corpses to anatomists. From what you recall, they’ve got a few different magical talents relevant to combat — most relevantly, they can summon dretches, cast a mass Inflict Light Wounds spell, and possess dead humanoids. Like many demons, they’re best damaged with cold iron or good-aligned weaponry (either works), but they also have an unusual semi-vulnerability in the fact that they respond to positive and negative energy like undead, and would be damaged (…slightly, it’s not usually an incredibly practical combat option) by positive energy.

Wanderer will offer to speak more about Vermleks, citing that Pulurans are experts on demons.

“Perhaps once we’ve finished eating,” says Nyna, looking a touch queasy at your proposal.
(Those of you watching Nyna for cues may notice that when she finishes eating, she carefully positions her silverware on her plate, running horizontally from left to right with her fork facing down.)

He nods back.
As supper winds down and servants come to clear away the plates, the baron speaks up. “Will you join me in the drawing room? I have a proposition to discuss with you.” He turns to Nyna. “I’m sure you must be tired after such a long journey. Halina can show you to your quarters.”
I look to… uhm…
…Wanderer to see how he’ll respond? He… seems to be good at this.

“Honestly, Zelsh only survived by the skin of Zelsh’s teeth.” the hslf-orc admitted.
Drakor nodded, but drank from his glass as he waited for the others to make the first move.
Wanderer nods to the proposal.
He decides to wait for an appropriate signal from the dinner host (this is not the baron) before standing up.
(So like, no action currently)

“Of course,” says Halina. “Right this way, Madam Kaver.” She gestures to Nyna to follow her, leading her out of the room.
