So, we move towards the end. Count Fredo gave the Dark Kiss to Miss Klara, only to discover she was the Harbinger as she slipped his ring off her finger. He I think tipped off Rosalina where it was but somehow Rosalina lost it to someone else who gave it to Gen. Astaran spotted Finkel trying to get Stalagmeit to sign his deed of sale (in return for helping Stalag escape and broke it up). Then the shrieking skulls began to fall.
In the panic, Grimgul decided his need to hide his crime tumped all and cut the Witchhunter in half with his axe and grabbed his dagger back. Then he ran out do die gloriously in battle. Barhof examined the corpse and found the warpstone, something he didn't understand. Lady Dunkelhaus, now desperate for her warpstone, grabbed the last item - a wedding certificate, unused by the poor departed Witch Hunter.
Count Fredo killed Rosalina, now aware she was working for Vlad and believing she had the ring. She did not, but Barthof now knew Fredo was a vampire. Barthof wolfed out and killed Fredo. Stalagmeit didn't finish his business with Finkel so while the Halfling ran, he went out with the Trollslayer and became the war hero he had always wanted to be. The Runesmith had made his fortune so, with the help of his fellow scammer Finkel, bribed the guards to escape. Surprisingly, Lord Bucket also had the cash to escape, but as to his eventual fate, nobody was sure.
Gen and Astaran cornered Klara in the cellar and Gen attacked. Klara revealed she had been turned by Count Fredo and fought back but Astaran stabbed her to death. Astaran, fearing reparations and having proved a generally nice guy was helped escape by the Ratcatcher. Abadoned to her fate Lady Dunkelhaus realised Barthof had her stone so decided to marry him and get the escape and bodyguard she needed - and Barthof finally got his wish for a wife and sons!
As Astaran left he handed Gen the deed to her bar, so once again it remained in her hands. As did the item Klara had: the Carstein Ring. Without his precious ring, Vlad would die on the walls at morning and the undead armies would break - unless Gen decided she wanted Vlad to succeed. The fate of the Empire lay in her hands....and there our story ends - at least for now.
