Open source p.34

Dark (lit by a few red candles). Long bone table (seats 6). Obsidian dagger (on the table, dragon motifs).

  • The dagger: Is magical: +1 dagger of blood letting - save vs death or lose hp/round until healed.

Princess of Blood

Dark purple skin with violet eyes (that seem to catch people’s attention and stare into their souls). Long, braided blue hair (braided with victim’s bones). Emerald dress with rose motifs (to please the Blood King).

  • Encountered here: Conversing with Lord Daemetrius and 2 other vampire guests (Area 12 for stats).
  • Wants: To kill and replace the Blood King herself. She resents her treatment being forced to portray a princess.
  • Reaction: Quickly realizes the opportunity the PCs represent and determines their main intent. She offers to help them achieve it so long as they help her. If they were drawn here by her psychic induced dreams, she plays the part of a helpless princess under a cruel vampire lord’s tyranny.

  • Vampire traits: See page 9, though she does not have the standard touch and gaze attacks.

Lord Daemetrius

Short and lean (starving for a few days). Ragged noble vest (with small Void Fungi spores in it). Worried and tense expression (unwillingly helping the Princess and would rather simply escape).

  • Reaction: Submissive to the Princess of Blood. In her he sees his last chance of escaping his cursed life.
  • Isn’t he in the dungeon (Area 37)?: Nope, that’s a guest vampire the Princess enchanted with an elaborate illusion to fool her father, but it won’t last forever and she must act quickly.

Lord Daemetrius

  • Weakened: Has only 13hp, and attacks at .

Hidden Sarcophagus

Blended with the dusty walls (resembles the stone wall). Closed and heavy (combined STR 20 to open).

  • The Princess of Blood’s actual coffin for sleep and shelter if anything happens.
