Reconnaissance-In-Force Mission

Reconnaissance-In-Force Mission was an adventurer's quest undertaken by Brita's Adventurer Team.

Background
An adventurer team that was originally assigned to protect E-Rantel city. Hearing the word of a band of mercenaries near the city, the adventurers decided to investigate.

Quest
During the search, the adventurers found something strange, so they split up their team. One team composed of three warriors, two magic casters and a ranger were responsible for reconnaissance while the other ranger stayed back as a precaution. Approaching an entrance to the bandit's hideout, Shalltear Bloodfallen springs out, who had finished wiping out the bandits and sees the adventurers. The arcane magic caster in the group though shock immediately recognized the creature as a vampire. Giving out orders he told his team to use silver and magic weapons. In addition to for a withdrawal fight and to avoid the monster's eyes. Acting swiftly the team obeys the magic caster's orders. One of the warriors at the front takes his shield in a defensive stance, whilst Brita helped her comrades apply alchemical silver on their weapons. The cleric attempts to cast a divine spell against the vampire, only to be stopped by the arcane magic caster and order to cast a defensive spell. Seeing that the cleric's divine spells would be useless against a powerful undead creature like Shalltear, the arcane magic caster then casted [Anti-Evil Protection] on the warriors followed by the cleric who casted [Lesser Mind Protection].

Shalltear watching their preparations, planned to capture the leader, however, she was too full of impulsive blood-lust that she only wished to kill them all. Unable to control herself she leaped at the warrior with the shield. Spearing the warrior through the shield with her bare hand tearing out his heart. With the heart in hand, before the horrified party, Shalltear then casted [Animate Undead] and turned the warrior into a Lesser Vampire. The cleric is first to panic, turning his holy symbol on the vampires. One of the two remaining warriors attacks the Lesser Vampire, who unlike Shalltear is affected and immobilized and is injured. Annoyed that her undead lost to the divine power of the cleric, Shalltear used her finger parry a sword blow and later beheads the offending warrior.

The cleric uses [Lesser Strength] on the remaining warrior who uses his enhanced body to fight the lesser vampire with a clear advantage. Clouded by blood lust, Shalltear turns her attention on the cleric. Brita bravely stands between them wielding an iron sword. Finding her adorable, Shalltear decides to save the woman for last as her dessert. Easily leaping over the female warrior, Shalltear landed before the arcane magic caster and the cleric. Before the cleric could react, Shalltear crushed his hand and tore off his head.

Brita attempted to attack her, taking a silver sword and stabbing it in the vampire's back going straight through the heart. However, Shalltear is unaffected, shocking the arcane magic caster. Paying no heed to her attacker, Shalltear focuses her sight on the remaining magic caster. The magic caster uses [Magic Arrow] on Shalltear to no effect thanks to her resistance. With a casual wave, she decapitated him.

Her lesser vampire having difficulty with the warrior it was fighting, Shalltear picks up the severed head of the magic caster and uses it to target the head of the warrior making him fall dead. Returning her gaze to her 'dessert' Shalltear prepares to toy with the human. Brita terrified to tears flails her blade at the monster. Amused Shalltear gleefully calls out to the girl as she approaches. Brita manages to fish out a potion from her pouch throws it at the vampire. Though Shalltear could have avoided the bottle easily she decided to allow it to hit her to show the futility of the situation. Assuming it to be holy water or a firebomb Shalltear swatted the bottle in the air, shattering the glass. The fluid spilled and splashed on Shalltear's skin and to her surprise she felt pain, bringing her mind back to focus from her blood lust. Recognizing the potion as an item from the Great Tomb of Nazarick, she switches tactics and ordered her vampires to capture the woman.

Bringing the human forward to their mistress the Vampire Birdes held her down long enough to allow Shalltear to enthrall her mind. Under the influence of her Mystic Eyes of Charm, the Floor Guardian interrogated the adventurer. She demanded to know how she came by the potion only to be told that a man in black armor gave it to her in E-Rantel. Shalltear realized that man Brita referred to was her master Ainz Ooal Gown. Confused as to why Ainz would give a human this potion, she wondered if Brita was under orders from her master. Shalltear mistakenly believed that Brita was a part of Ainz's plans and she may have interfered.

Further questioning the adventurer, she learned that her team were part of E-Rantel's city's patrol searching for bandits in the area.
