Voice Log, Eve of the Orlock/Brando Attack

[thickasacastlewall]

Hello? This is Ser Duncan the Tall. Lord Azuresky--that is, Ser Hikaru--and I are on the southern battlements of the city, overlooking the forest, and there seems to be a host of Orlock and Brando vampires marching towards Montica. Anyone who can fight, we'll need you with u--aaagggh!

[You might think that Dunk has cried out because he's been wounded, but nope, it's entirely because moonrise happened earlier than he thought and he'd just been shocked into a wolf transformation. Or, well, large wolfdog transformation anyway. Which will definitely be born out by the last thing any Readers might hear over the voice log:]

Awwwoooooo!

Hostiles incoming in the settlement. Currently engaged in hit and run arson tactics.

Amalia has organized a volunteer army and Roberte Guildulf is handling logistics. Inform them, they'll send messengers, contain and fight the flames. Divert our vampiric allies away, most instinctively fear fire.

[SecUnit had stared at this message, for 4.3 seconds. Why was Hikaru telling it to inform these people? It didn't have any way of contacting them. They didn't have the feed.]

I don't know any of those people.

[Translation: don't tell SecUnit to talk to them, you talk to them]

[ohaiyo_isekai]

Point taken. I’ll inform them so in my capacity as Nero’s court wizard.

Do steer friendly vampires away from the flames.
