Presumably, Orbeon led the party through the resistance tunnels, Zurga rallied Belor's forces, and Pallidus was treated by the couple.
Did they reach the vampire camp, or did something else happen along the way?

One of them bled out, the other hurling shadowy projectiles. Since the cave was dark, Sakura had no way to see shadows in darkness, even with some illumination from her spiritual buddies. Fuelled by pain to prove honor, yumi aimed truly...
Holy water painfully dashed upon skin, the vampire shrieked. Sakura did not hold back, shooting arrow after arrow into the vulnerable howling creature, intending to grant an honorable death.

After the initial scuffle, the vergas returned to their rightful ownership. Malus whirled his blade in a figure eight pattern while sidestepping at random intervals and angles, aiming to swing at incoming claws to lop fingers off. Since Malus wore plate armor, he had no fear of clawing attacks, though had to maintain initial mobility to deal with the looming threat.
Once he disjointed the vergas and found an opening, Malus would swerve amid threats, hoping to mislead one or two pursuers to use them as bodyshields in case the vampire’s imminent magical attack came. If not, Malus would skip to and fro at a random pattern, closing the distance while moving continuously. If unable to close the distance, he would grip his blade by the ricasso and throw it like a javelin into the vampire’s midsection, then unsheathe his dagger and charge, intending to grab the elder with one hand and continuously stab with the other.
