I was totally stunned at the reveal. It was someone who I thought was long dead. Standing before us was no other than Torryd. He looked shocked to see us too. He was wearing a maid outfit in his male form. He recognized me as well. Pentora and I were the only ones that clocked him. Fulko, Bertie, Voxex and Wesez joined after I had met them. Pentora looked like he was going to point him out, but he threw up instead. The wards did not want to let it up. If I knew any better, I would think that they were getting stronger. Not feeding for nearly 2 weeks was also affecting them. They were close to starving. "Pentora seems to be really sick today. Looks like he needs to go for a soak now." I said quickly. I then led him away. "Torryd is clearly important here. I don't know how he's here, but tell no one about it." I told him quietly. He looked really confused. "Why is he here, Wraxix?" he asked. I did not know. I said "We need to find a way to get him alone." That was actually not that hard. Since it was clear to me it was vampires, we could move freely in the town during the day. At dusk, we gathered.
Torryd was soaking with the rest of the men. It was clear that he was not suffering from being here at all. I wondered why that was. Pentora, Voxex and Wesez were all at their absolute limits. "Listen. It's clear that this is taking a lot longer than I thought. Starting tomorrow. You 3 will start to flirt with a single woman of the town. Using your charms, it should not be that hard for you to seduce them. Feed on the females, but do not kill them. The last thing we need is to get you guys implicated in this mess. It is already hard enough as it is. The cleric here is already onto us." I said, taking the 3 incubi aside. They nodded weakly. Other people in the town had noticed that they were clearly ill. The older women especially fussed over them. It made sense. They were naturally beautiful and alluring. None of the townsfolk were actually evil as far I could tell. Most were neutral and a few were good. It meant that seeing the incubi suffer roused them to concern and compassion. Pentora, Voxex and Wesez did not want pity from humans. Especially not from crones like the town elders. It was a little funny.
We approached Torryd and I just cut to the chase. I said "I killed you in the Abyss. How are you still alive? You should have been gone for good." Torryd looked at me and smirked. "Who said that I was spawned on that level of the Abyss?" he asked. I looked at him with a confused frown. "You and Serran did. You told me you spawned near each other close to the portal and walked through it." I said. The read headed incubus just wagged his finger on me. "Yeah. "A portal." Not the portal in the park. We never said that. We moved to Robal City to do and sell our art because it was so close to a portal to another level of the Abyss. Just incase we ever had to make a quick getaway." he gloated. "Where is your partner then?" Pentora asked. He glared at me. "We spawned on the 26th level of the Abyss. The portal in the park leads to the 4th level. That's why it was a walk in the park for us. Because you killed us, we were trapped on the 26th level. We could not even cross between the layers anymore." he spat. There was just one question on my mind. "How did you escape then?" I asked Torryd.
