Episode 2

File:Samicon.gif Sam Scoter: Well, with a charming bunch of dumb ducks like us, how could they not want to run another episode? The competition might be over, but they have a fresh challenge for us: find out if a rumored vampire lives in Transylvania.

File:Corabellaicon.gif Corabella: So, I was approached by Pelt - a Weasel if I ever knew one - to be on Episode Two: It seems that even though my team lost the airship race the viewers "liked" me, so the producers want me to stay on for a new challenge with a new team. The challenge: find out if a certain vampire - Count Dracula Duck (shhh!!) - lives in Transylvania. I am intrigued.

Preparations and Travel

File:Samicon.gif Sam Scoter: There's just one problem: nobody knows where Transylvania actually *is*. It's been wiped off the maps. We do a little snooping, and we can track down a shipment bound for the region, lock it down to a specific port, basic tracking/bounty stuff. This isn't the first time I've searched for someone without a valid mailing address.

A little international travel later, and we've reached a port town where some locals know the rumors of the infamous Count. Once again, there's a problem: nobody wants to get terribly specific.

Party Boat

File:Samicon.gif Sam Scoter: We manage to get one local to cough up the goods, and that lets us make a plan: sail up river until we can't go any farther, and we travel on foot from there. We want to be stealthy, though, so we need to travel under cover. Using our stipend, we rent a barge, and buy enough cheap, crappy, local beer to run a party. As a "party barge", we have enough cover to justify sailing up river, handing out drinks and milling the locals for info.

Along the way, the engine conks out, there's a little drama, but we get things together and put our beaks to the grindstone. There's some suspicion that Magica Dispell sabotaged the boat.

Send out the Hounds!

File:Samicon.gif Sam Scoter: Eventually, the party ends, and our guests are off the barge. We find a small village, obviously spooked by outsiders, and start trekking up the hill towards what we believe is our destination. Along the way, we're beset by a pack of hounds- hell-hounds, that is. They ruffle our feathers and basically ruin our day- but we ruin theirs straight back.
