[Hector’s new ship is a lighter vessel than his last, chosen for speed rather than fire power. It’s not stocked for a long journey; he could only make so many preparations without arousing suspicion. It’s normal to be prepared for a few day’s journey on short notice, so that is what Hector did.
There’s a skeleton crew (literally) on board, raising the anchor and lowering the sails. None of his pets, other than Cesar. Too many of the vampires would take note if he moved all of them at once. He’s spent the last few days making them as whole as they can be, then releasing them into the wild, one by one, in secret. Cesar’s wholly unprepared to fend for himself, but luckily bringing him along to the forge is a common enough occurrence, so he got away with it.]
You two get below deck.
[He has one final weapon held back in case of pursuit. It was an idea of Carmilla’s, ironically. She’d asked, and he had acquired the necessary components and tested the theory.
If anyone tries to follow, Hector is going to pull out his reanimated bishop and bless the waters.
It’s a mad plan, and with the churning movement of the waves, the blessing will dissipate within minutes, but it will hold back the supernatural long enough for the sun to rise.
So Alucard better get his undead dog safety stowed where no sea spray can reach him.
The sails unfurl and the ship begins, agonizingly slow, to move from the dock.]
