Beats was able to pass between the stone pylons, leaving Robor to follow. Fortunately, the mud things didn't seem motivated enough to leave the crater; and just sort of slopped back into the mire.
Using the personal items taken from the subway car, Beats focused for a few minutes, before locking onto the location of the two Belial's Brood vampires. They were in The City Without Foundation, far to the southeast, which would be the tenebrous reflection of the physical world's Washington DC.
Scrying in, Beats could see 'Vesh' - the middle-aged gothic rock-star vampire in the black leathers, frilly operatic blouse, and fishnet highlights. This was the one that had used blood magic to open the way into the vampire's haven under the nightclub.
The King Leonidas reject was also nearby, being the mature overly-muscled man in the cheesy leisure suit (and bling) that the other vampires had referred to as 'Ductus'.
Both lay sleeping on ornate marble slabs in an unusually bright and large atrium of some kind. They were surrounded by carefully arranged plantings of flowers and small colorful trees - the area being quite pleasant and park-like with marble benches, slabs, and trickling coi ponds filled with odd fish-like spirit-things. This appeared to be one of the upper levels of a massive multi-layered tower, open in the center.
Looking into the aerie of the eight hundred foot high tower, Beats could see other levels, both above and below. Each concourse was expansive and palatial - being occupied by a multitude of demonic-looking denizens. Some looked like guardians, some like stewards, while others carried themselves with the haughty airs of nobility.
There even appeared to be human slaves here and there, as well as other creatures more animalistic and base in nature and appearance.
Way down at the bottom, on the main floor, Beats could see a large bazaar of some kind, where transactions and trade of all sorts were being made between the hundreds of the hellish minions.
