When Gavril heard Buckel was going to talk to the witches he knew well enough that he was gonna be the one to go with him even before the preacher decided to ask him to go. If what Alucard said is true then they could ill afford for the witches to turn on them now because someone went in and ticked them off to the point of where they would attack. Gavril simply nodded his head at the preacher signifying that he would go with Buckle to speak to the witch Coven. Gavril watched silently as the rest of the group went off towards the cemetery, turning his attention to Buckle they meant eyes for the second time that night and the discomfort was probably like wise. Gavril had nothing against this man, but there was no doubt that he had never dealt with anything like this before, and if he screwed everything up then he would probably die very quickly in a Coven of witches, and there was probably nothing Gavril could do to save him in a situation like that. Aware that they were now alone on the road Gavril kept his eyes on Buckle and spoke direct.
"I don't know what your thinking right now, I don't know what you plan on doing when you finally meet this Coven of witches face to face, but Im warning you now that if you want to live, then let me do the talking. If you say even the slightest thing wrong, they will kill you without even batting an eye, I dont know if you believe in witch craft or not, but it is real and it is deadly. Witches are not particularly fond of humans outside their Coven, and they are even more unaccepting of Males. I would rather you just go hunt zombies with the rest of the group and let me deal with the Witches, but I can't stop you if you insist on going. But there are simple rules that will keep you alive around witches. One don't insult them ever, they are short tempered. Two don't ever make direct eye contact with them if you do they will put a spell on you. Three keep your hands off your gun at all times, don't even touch them they will see this as a threat. The last and final rule respect them as if they were your mother do not talk back or they will cut your tongue from your mouth. Do you understand?
Gavril looked at Buckel awaiting his answer, otherwise they would not be moving anytime soon.

Its understandable actually but so you know if you don't. My weapons are all IRL based the Razor whip is actually a dangerous weapon that can be dated back to these times. It wasn't invented in american however or brought to america for a long time so it fit my characters MO. The sword obviously thats real enough no hunter shoudl be without a silver sword and the gauntlet well thats not really a weapon as much as it is a form of protection for an injury he received years ago. It doesn't really do anything besides look cool and protect that portion of his arm and hand. In reality my character is a mix of both fantasy and Western but going a tad more to the fantasy I.E. his clothing, the gauntlet, but I am trying to keep a sense of the fact that is not high fantasy, an im probably failing cuz I love fantasy ;), other then that though he is pretty real life.
The Vampire isn't a Hunter, and neither one of them are from the Northern Continent, as you know Gavril is from Transylvania, and then you will out the vampire migrated from a different continent as well, so technically neither one is western really. When I look at this roleplay I see it a lot as a western fantasy type of roleplay given the creatures of the night and necromancy being a dark magic etc etc, so thats how Im playing it, I hope that what im doing is okay.
Nero's heart beat was racing when he finally reached the man hole, turning back he made sure Nadia was with him, she was a bit behind but soon she reached the man hole with him. Reaching down Nero quickly put his fingers in the holes on the cover and ripped the man hole from the hole.
"Come on Nadia go down quickly."
Nero looked behind him as the walkers were getting closer now and they were well aware that they were there, Nero pulled his gun and put it in both of his hands and aimed down the sites. Pulling off a total of three shots he hit three separate walkers in the legs knocking them over, and this in turn knocked the ones behind them over and it was like a domino effect as they tripped a crawled over each other slowing them down but only for precious seconds.
"Hurry we gotta go no Nadia! Ill be down right after you!"
"Come on Nadia go down quickly."

Gavril had silently been walking down the dirt path for a few moments now, on either side of him he saw different size buildings that he supposed were houses for the residents. However it was painfully obvious that they not there anymore, he saw no candle lights on inside, just darkness an nothing more. This wasn't the first time Gavril had seen something like this before, in fact this was something he had seen more then many times in his homelands. This was a sign... a sign that something bad was coming here very soon. This is how it always started, the creatures would attack under the cloak of dark, and one by one they would start to drop the count of lives in the town or villiage. Then after a certain amount of people mostly men who could fight were gone then bigger attacks would happen here and there. Most never truly noticed a couple disappearances in a world like this where there was so many ways to die, which meant that most towns were taken by surprise with a full on attack. However this town did not have the markings of such attacks, it was just... empty as if no one had been in a time, that was what threw Gavril off it was too neat, no one would notice if you didn't understand but the situation here was very troubling.
Gavril kept walking along the road silently and soon enough he was walking through the woods, he was unsure if this path lead to the mysterious coven of witches he had heard about but he kept his guard up. The woods at night in a situation like this were no doubt crawling with creatures of the dark. Gavril listened silently to the world around him, he did not hear an animals making any noise, not even a cricket, these woods felt as though they were completely empty of any life, which was another bad sign that something was definitively here with him. Gavril sniffed the air silently as he stopped in the center of the road, the wind blew his hair wildly for a split second as the smell of something was around him, the smell was very strong which meant whatever was here was close. Gavril could feel a small energy which meant it was weak, the attack was coming Gavril could feel it now, and almost like as if waiting for the thought Gavril heard the hiss like scream come from his left side, the light was dim but Gavrils cursed eye could see the darkness as if it was day, a vampire was coming full speed at him now.
Time seemed to slow down almost to Gavrils eye's as the vampire came at him, the claw hand was already back and ready to strike, when it came Gavil raised his hand with the metal gauntlet and caught its hand in mid swing. With one powerful swing Gavril took the weak vampire off its feet and threw him a short distance away, in the moment of distraction Gavril removed the razor whip from his belt and unraveled it. As soon as the vampire caught itself and landed Gavril was already moving at a fast speed, closing the distance quickly Gavril flicked his wrist as the sharp metal blades of the whip wrapped around the vampires neck, and in one strong angled tug the metal razors ripped through the vampires neck like paper, the head went flying sideways away from the now useless body as it hit the soft dirt. Gavril silently watched the body fall to the ground as the fight had last only mere minutes if not less. However Gavril heard clapping from behind and realized he was not alone again, the sudden spike of energy guaranteed him of that. Turning Gabriel saw a man standing in the middle of the road, he was clapping his hands as if a show had just been going on.
"You truly are a Hunter, I was curious as to if you were dressed that oddly because you had weird fashion sense or that your clothing is related to a family of Hunters itself, that show told me all."
Gavril watched the man silently approach, he kept the whip in hand but did not attack for he was getting a rather weird feeling from this man, he was most definitely a vampire there was no doubt but his energy was not of on that was completely evil. The white haired man slowly approached Gavril and stopped a couple feet away, looking down at the headless body near him the man shook his head.
"Truly disgusting creatures, this is the product of one who is turned and not guided, one who only knows human blood. They have no other way to survive, never knowing that they could quench their thirst off the animals that are in these woods. I must apologize Hunter, I sent that weakling to attack you, but I needed to be sure you were a Hunter before I tried to talk to you, and if I attacked you myself to test it then we would no doubt be in combat to the death and that would serve nothing."
Gavril looked at the vampire silently, he was not all that angry either way, however this vampire was tweaking his curiosity to a certain degree.
"Why? You could have just asked couldn't you?"
The vampire smiled a toothy grin as Gavril saw the long sharp curved fangs, this vampire was well nourished from his demeanor. An he did not even look like he appeared to be from this country at all from the garbs here wore.
"I would have but unfortunately I meant a couple Hunters down the road of my life and they were rather... how do you say violent towards me. You however intrigue me, you keep your weapon in hand yet I can tell you won't attack me unless I attack you. This kind of mentality in a Hunter from this country is non-existent which tells me your not from around here."
"You would be right, I am from another land, an where I come from I was raised to believe that not all creatures of the night are evil, but those that are choose to be. We do not kill recklessly like savage beasts."
"Thats an interesting view on things Hunter, however I think there is more to it then that, for when I look at you I do not see just a man before me, but also I see the traits of a Vampire with in you. They are not easy to spot with a human eye but I see through the skin, the blood in your veins in black as mine. I must say that you are one of the most interesting hunters I have ever crossed in my life. However I respect that you have allowed me to speak without violence so where are my manners, My name is Alucard Sebastian Vladimir the sixth, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Hunter."
The vampire gave a respectful bow towards Gavril after giving his name, Gavril looked at him idly, this was rather his first encounter with a sophisticated vampire and in his mind he was trying to find the catch. However for now Gavril would keep the peace, there was a meaning for this meeting and he was very curious to see where this would go in the end. Gavril returned the respectful bow and spoke:
"My name is Gavril Fane Vlasimirescu the third, it is a pleasure to meet you Alucard, not to be rude but I feel like there is a reason for our meeting here at this moment, perhaps you could enlighten me as to why you choose to talk to one who is sworn to kill creatures of the night?"
"No offense taken Gavril, I understand that is it hard for most Hunters to believe that there are Vampires who can be civilized, it is rare to find one but not impossible my friend. But I shall make my point Gavril, it is no big secret that something terrible is about to happen to that little town a ways down the road, I am sure you have noticed peculiar things in town. I am coming to you because if I came to one in the town they would not believe me and try to kill me, but a great evil is here in this place, an evil that has no name, I have felt it yet know not what it is, you too have felt it I know for you are half vampire."
"Yes I have felt it, from the moment I got within 100 feet of this town I could feel it. But my question is... what is it?"
"This I do not know, however I can tell you that a certain Coven of witches maybe able to tell you if you can persuade them. You see they are not happy either with the events that are taking place, and they are more knowledgeable then I in such matters. They have lost precious sisters from their coven to this evil, corrupted by its influence and now working with it. You must handle this matter my friend, for I know the man who calls for aid... he has a vendetta against the witches, he does not like them for reasons that are unknown to me."
"I know what you mean Alucard, I have seen him talk of them and I can see the blood lust in his eyes for them."
"Exactly if you attack them out right then they will never help you, an this evil if I like it or not affects me as well, its intoxicating enough that I have had to lock myself away so that I will not be driven into corruption like the many witches from the Coven. There is still time to stop it Gavril, but time is running out and quickly at that. Here take this Gavril you will need it."
Alucard reached into his coat silently and pulled out a medallion which was inscribed with the sign of Witch Coven. Gavril took the medallion from Alucard and slowly placed it safely in his own jacket.
"The Coven is in a frenzy right now because of this evil, and no doubt will not allow an outsider to enter their camp. Present this to one of the sisters and ask to speak to Nadalia, she is the oldest and wisest of the Coven she leads them, if you can get her on your side then there might be a chance, if you can't then there may not be a future for any of us. I must go now Gavril, but I am sure we shall meet again the future, take care my friend."
As Gavril nodded to Alucard he silently started to fade off the road and then was gone, Gavril was alone now on the road, he now had a lot to think about, deciding it best to return to town first Gavril made his way back down the road and soon found himself back at the church in time to see the Preacher and the other men exiting looking as if they were ready to fight. Walking up to the preacher Gavril spoke.
"What is going on?"
Gavril kept walking along the road silently and soon enough he was walking through the woods, he was unsure if this path lead to the mysterious coven of witches he had heard about but he kept his guard up.

"What is going on?"
Nero was about to speak however he was interrupted by a chorus of different tones and lengths of moans, before his eyes behind the lunatic of a man Walkers started pouring into the streets in large portions. The damn horde had arrived early... and this idiot had just lured them here with his stupidity. Nero watched the walkers coming straight for the man, they were going to surround him if he didn't move, but this was not Nero's concern.
"Save us then fool!"
With that Nero grabbed Nadia's hand and ran in the opposite direction, in just a mere moment Nero cracked the back door of the store open and hit the streets. Even from a distance Nero could see a large amount of Walkers in the distance, they were canvassing the small town like a wave of water. This was not good, they were all coming to that lunatics gun shot which meant that they were going to be surrounded too by the walkers. Looking both ways Nero realized this was already so, both sides of the road were blocked with walkers.
"Shit... that moron may have killed us all with his stupidity."
Thank god damn it Nero think, there is always a way out, looking over at Nadia she was no doubt scared, Nero didn't blame her this was the kind of situation that made you wanna drink afterwards. Nero looked around vigilantly, there had to be one, every city or small town had one... there it is! Nero saw the man hole cover about thirty feet away, the Walkers were already closing the distance to the man hole cover.
"Come on Nadia go as fast you can!"
Nero yanked her arm and got her into a full run, they were only going to have one shot at this and do it right.
"Save us then fool!"

Nero yanked her arm and got her into a full run, they were only going to have one shot at this and do it right.
Nero had his gun raised already when he heard the man yelling at what seemed to be the top of his lungs no time to respond to Nadia. Nero was not exactly thrilled that there was an idiot hopping down the street being loud especially with a large horde coming in this direction. The first thought that came to his mind was that this man had lost his mind along the way somewhere and was dangerous. When Nadia went behind him Nero stood up and raised the gun towards the man and spoke.
"Shut the hell up you fool, your going to drag every walker within ten miles to this location. I don't know who you are but neither of us need your help so keep skipping down the road like a lunatic..."
Nero was cold towards the man an with good reason, the gun in his hand was just a mere indication that he was probably not going to just leave peacefully, that or he was too crazy to just leave.
"Come on Nadia lets go."
Nero kept the gun raised at the man an started backing away to leave keeping Nadia behind him just in case, he did not take his eyes or gun off the stranger. The last thing Nero needed was a lunatic going crazy on them.

Captain Ahab said
I'm combining a Romero zombie and a classic zombie here, these ones can be killed flat out.
Ah that makes more sense then. Thought we were going straight up classic.Thinking bout it now if they were classic only their threat level would be extremely high given they can't die by conventional means and a group of them would be a b****.
Just to put this out there you cant kill a corpse reanimated by a Necromancer, its controlled by the Necromancer only and is just a bag of meat, the only real way to take down this kind of zombie is to hack it into pieces so it can't harm anyone anymore. The permanent solution would to be to kill the one raising the dead.
Gavril took his seat silently after the old preacher looked him over for a second, it was not as if he looked like a normal person in the slightest since, hell the very clothes Gavril was wearing were made special for him by his family. But it seemed that the old man did not ask questions, which was either a good thing or a bad thing, if Gavril knew people it would come out sooner or later, but for now he listened to the old man intently. When the body first emerged of the emaciated vampire Gavril merely gave it a look over before turning his attention back to the preacher who seemed to be paying some attention to him. Gavril kept the stare on for the moment at the preacher keeping eye contact until the mans eyes eventually diverted from him. As he continued Gavril took silent notes in his head, so far there was two different problems it seemed, possibly three if the witches were truly involved. Looking around the other people around the room seemed to be steady but the real question was if they were going to freak out, or even buy this at all. Humans were very skeptical of things like this, Gavril might have been but this was his life since he was a child but he could understand if one chose not to believe any of this at all. A body tended to prove nothing even if it was deformed, this old man would have a bit of a time truly convincing the others if it came down to it.
Gavril listened to the rest of what the preacher had to say, taking note of the personal distaste that he seemed to project from his voice for the so called coven of witches. When the preacher was finished he silently took a seat on the raised platform in front of them all. Every one seemed silent for the moment so perhaps Gavril would say something now before this went too far.
"Preacher its obvious that you have a major problem here, anyone with eye's can see that, the very dark cloak over this town is enough to make you want to shiver. But if I may, I would like to say something, something that might very well help. I do not believe the witches have anything to do with the Zombies, in fact I believe a more powerful force here is at work, and that the witches may very well be working with this force. Witches are not particularly known for committing necromancy, as evil intentioned as some witches can be, their own beliefs restrict them from tampering with the dead, so I doubt they are the cause of the re-animation, at least not directly anyways. I would also like to mention that I think this is bad idea, involving normal people in this sort of fight, I understand the urgency but even you must see that these people will be fighting against something that in all rights should not exist."
Gavril looked around his words would not make him any friends that was for certain, but in the end saying nothing at all was an afront to the very things he believed in. Even his words went unheard or received anger he at least had to try.
"If they choose to stay that is their decision, but this kind of Evil is cunning, and by now I am sure you can see that as well. If you will allow me to show you something Preacher."
Gavril rose from his seat on the pew and made his way up to the raised podium and silently came down to emaciated body of the vampire that the Preacher had presented them with only moments ago. Reaching down Gavril plucked a small dagger from its sheath and cut his hand slightly, black blood started to slowly ooze from the open wound, putting his hand over the vampires mouth a couple drops of blood fell into its open mouth. When the blood touched the vampires tongue the body violently jerked, try as it may the vampire jerked for a couple moments then lay still once more.
"Vampires don't die of starvation, but the lack of blood puts them into a coma state that they can not come back from unless they are given large amounts of blood to sustain themselves again. As you saw it came back but only for a brief moment, you were technically right preacher this vampire is technically dead, however the only way to assure it stays dead is to remove its head and burn the body. The only reason I speak of these things is that everyone must understand that these creatures while deadly also have specific mechanisms that if unknown can spell death for someone who is unaware of it."
When Gavril got back up to his full height he could feel the eyes boring into him, he didn't even have to turn and see to know that his small demonstration was drawing in even more questions then answers. Turning Gavril looked at the others an then at the preacher.
"I apologize for my abruptness father, I am going to take a deeper look around the town, when the last of the hunters arrive I shall return as well."
Gavril nodded his head in respect to the Preacher and then started walking for the door of the church.

Reaching down Gavril plucked a small dagger from its sheath and cut his hand slightly, black blood started to slowly ooze from the open wound, putting his hand over the vampires mouth a couple drops of blood fell into its open mouth. When the blood touched the vampires tongue the body violently jerked, try as it may the vampire jerked for a couple moments then lay still once more.
"Vampires don't die of starvation, but the lack of blood puts them into a coma state that they can not come back from unless they are given large amounts of blood to sustain themselves again. As you saw it came back but only for a brief moment, you were technically right preacher this vampire is technically dead, however the only way to assure it stays dead is to remove its head and burn the body. The only reason I speak of these things is that everyone must understand that these creatures while deadly also have specific mechanisms that if unknown can spell death for someone who is unaware of it."
When Gavril got back up to his full height he could feel the eyes boring into him, he didn't even have to turn and see to know that his small demonstration was drawing in even more questions then answers. Turning Gavril looked at the others an then at the preacher.
"I apologize for my abruptness father, I am going to take a deeper look around the town, when the last of the hunters arrive I shall return as well."
Gavril nodded his head in respect to the Preacher and then started walking for the door of the church.
