Lifting one of the corpses head, he notices the wounds that
indicate what it was that was responsible. His eye widening, he
takes a gulp, before turning frantically to look around his
immediate area.
"How many? How many 'Pale Men'!?" He says, starting to become
somewhat panicked.

"Two! Yes! They come and killeded everyone, but they no match
for me! No senor! No! No match for Dante Icarius Xandar!"
He hiccups, then starts snickering.

"Fuck me with a branding iron."
The only response Astandord could think of. "Why are you alive?
Why did they leave you alone?"

"I am best sword... sword man! Swordsmen..." He goes blank for a
moment, confusing himself. He pulls out his blade, a rapier
crafted of silver. "I am rapier man! I am rapier!"

As the moonlight catches against the silver sword, it reflects
to Astandord's eye, causing him to squint.
"That explains it..." He sighs, still keeping an eye on his
surroundings. "The Vampires. They attacked. They left you alone
because of that blade. Was it you who disposed of these? The
other members of this... convoy?" He inquires, genuinely curious
and inqusitive, trying to find out if there is something he has
overlooked - perhaps something that could be crucial for his
survival. 'Gods forbid, if such deities exist, that these will
be raised anew as members of the undead legion.' Ast thought to
himself.

His face turns sour, nodding. "Members of my crew. We come for
trade. Pale men, they killed them, bit them. I burn their
bodies. Now I only drink."

Looking around, it becomes evident that all the bodies present
have indeed been burned. With a hand to the face, he rubs at his
eyes. "How long have they been gone?"

"Ohh, some hours now." He begins to chuckle to himself. "I want
them to come back to try and finish the job. I will show them
what man like me can do."

With them gone for so long, perhaps it is possible they have
moved on - or perhaps were they laying in wait? Astandord knew
he had to move on, but it would be the most dangerous option- he
was, afterall, safest with that silver sword. At this point, he
was contemplating outright murdering the drunk to take it.
Ruthless as he was, something did not sit right with the
Mercenary; killing a man who was so far gone in a drunken
stupour, who had just lost everything. But at the same time...
it could be a mercy. It was decided. He would give the Spaniard
the option to come, giving them both a chance at survival.
Though if he refused to come... there was only the option to
take it by force left.
"We're a couple days walk from Kelheim keep, along the way are a
couple villages and towns. You won't survive here by yourself,
nor will you make it alone. Come with me. We'll rest along the
way, and recuperate. Once we've got to the keep, you are free to
move where you need. You have nothing left to trade now but you
and your sword. Without a crew, what are you? Perhaps you would
do well as a Mercenary? I'm a Captain of the Wolfsburg Free
Company. Perhaps we could find a contract to kill those
Vampires?"
Insertion of reality, guilt trip and an offer of redemption and
gold. Astandord needed this man, he may as well get extra use of
the assets at hand.

Dante squints, before standing himself up. He examines Astandord
briefly as he sways, then looks around at his current
predicament. He holds up his wine bottle, noticing it is nearly
empty.
"A mercenary eh?"
He contemplates this for a moment.
"It is your lucky day friend, I have decided to offer you my
services!"
