Monday has to agree with Sam...



Though I'm surprised he recognized him.

Dead???
Weakened? Lot must've happened the past 20 minutes.

Wow, Philinon is dead?! Hoorah! And since Sam and Sylvia are still extant, things are looking up!

Interesting, so Philinnon is dead and apparently that doesn't necessarily mean instant death for all Vrykos. Strakoi were a little quick on the trigger for that one though, weren't they? Also, Helene does lend credence to the theory that Menelaus is THE Menelaus.

Wait, whose death?

So, this means at least the Master level ones can survive the death of the Queen. Did they get around to killing Urja, I wonder?

No, she was shown when Menadalus' offspring when poof

Dang yo, this Fey has no respect for the old ways. Murder Vans are the wave of the future.
Also some joke about women drivers.

Also: DEAD! What?

Yeah, I'm confused. I expected it to be Urja grabbing Torg. And Philinnon is dead?? Last I remember Menelaus said she was just prisoner of the Strakoi. When did they kill her? And how could Hélène become the new queen starting with Torg? MM implied he had to drain his "own blood" (Izzy) to do that. But Urja has been doing that for centuries and SHE'S not a queen.

This hasn't been a good day for the Vrykos. Philinnon apparently dead, Menelaus dead, Hélène dead, Urja we're not sure (but I bet she's still around), hundreds of underlings dead...

Philinnon was thousands of years old. That is a huge deal for the Vrykos to lose her. At least as crippling as the Vorpyr losing Lysinda.

And Our Gang has been involved / responsible for ALL of them. Riff the vamp-hunter should feel proud. But I suppose he's too busy getting flustered by Izzy.

At this rate they are outperforming Armenius Vambrey and Nana Avarre.

What she said when all the offspring poofed was:

"MENELAUS' UNDERLINGS! MELENAUS HAS BEEN DESTROYED!" (I just noticed the typo in the names)

"SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG! MY QUEEN!?! I AM SO SORRY, MY QUEEN!"

Note the bolding on the "MY QUEEN!?!" Plus the use of two exclamation marks and a question mark.

Aha! Menelaus was the name of a Spartan king, married to Helen of Troy. I theorized that the Vrykolakas Menelaus could be the historical figure, the Vrykos coming from Greece and all. And here we have his wife, who is named Hélène! I claim victory.

So ends Helen of Troy. You may add it to your history books.

I also claim points for that one. :-) I proposed it here.

That, I remember. I'm just wondering if Helene or any other Masters got around to her execution. Probably not, we would have seen it. So it's not really spec to say, Urja is the new Queen. Though given her condition when we last saw her, I don't see her attempting revenge tonight.

I'm just also in shock that Philinnon is dead! Those Strakoi are really on a world domination streak aren't they? With Sam and Slyvia gone and most of Philinnon's minions dead or severely weakened they're going to be the only vampire game in town.
