[Vampire Killer is not quite as effective on humans as it is on vampires, and using it in a forest is a difficult thing, even with the full moon hanging high above the trees. That's fine, because there's only 5 hunters, and the red hot second they see a flash of the Belmont crest is the second that all of them stop.
(There is a mage in their number. He is further back, swearing a storm up as he encounters Sypha's icewall and cannot find a way around it. Alucard drags him over to the other four, so that they can be addressed as a group. There's a tremble in the man's step (not a man, he's maybe sixteen.)
No need for the improvised weapon then. Alucard throws it aside.]
By rights, and by expectation, I ought to destroy all five of you. My father would not give you even this much of his time.
[Alucard knows that Trevor does not like talk of Dracula. It's a different kind of family pain fron Alucard's, and it comes out when Dracula is mentioned not as Alucard's father, but as a vampire power that has survived the centuries in spite of the Belmonts' best effort. He will apologize for it later. For now, he has to use the word as a weapon, because these five, they are here not because of their own skill. They're not local either, because they didn't know that there's a Belmont in the city.
Curious.
But he lets Trevor do the questions for the first few minutes. Listens. Then takes over himself, because the threat of Belmont does nothing to get the information they really need. Son of Dracula though? That tends to loosen lips.
"A...we got a letter, a copy of the invitation, left on our door..."

Interference.
Alucard hisses at that.]
