Wilbur announces you  and you enter  the room. Two high backed chairs face and a small chair are placed around a fire. Two men stand infront of the fire facing each other some distance apart. One’s smiling  openly and the other is scowling. You recognise the scowling one. Havent you seen him before? The smiling one speaks his fangs noticible in the firelight.

“Velcome to te Burrows. I am the master Viovode Jakob Magpyr. Thiss is my brother Boyar Bastion Magpyr. Vot can ve do fvor you?”

You stare blankly . The irritable brother Bastion seems to have read your mind. When he answers. “Viovode means Romanian prince and a Boyar is a nobleman.” Before yoou can say anything three magpies fly into the room, the same three magpies you saw earlier. Being superstitous you salute them to ward off bad luck. This seems to amuse the two brothers. The magpies land and implode into the form of a beautiful brunette lady. Basion stops smiling and goes back to scowling.

 “This is the lady of the house, Killishandra,” Jakob beams as she saunters to his side. He then turns his smile on you.

Yyou must be cold, come warm yourself by the fire. You edge forward nervously. Bastion mutters something about Wilbur and leaves. Killishandra begins to smile.

“We’re just about to have dinner” you have a funny feeling she means you.
