Lord Blake's Personal Journal
Brian O'Reilly, Knight of Avalon and Baron of Yorkshire discovers that exsanguinated bodies are being left in the vicinity of his haven and that they are former workers of the building he is using as his haven in York. Then Scotland Yard comes calling, asking him to come along and answer some questions down at the station. Reluctantly he agrees and finds himself a prisoner of modern vampire hunters who know far too much about him. They interrogate him for an easy confession to mortal misdeeds and when that fails, they move directly to questions about the vampires of York. He refuses to cooperate and is tortured, then he escapes through teleportation. Meanwhile, his ally, Lord Blake has entered the building as a shadow and after using Visceratika is able to locate Brian. But as Lord Blake's liege is being interrogated in a heavily fortified room, he elects to sabotage the electrical system which consists of a pair of backup power supplies and the main feed from the grid.
