About the adventure
Hello, darlings! Let’s cut straight to the heart of the matter, shall we? Yes, this tome reveals vampiric secrets. Yes, one might use these details to kill vampires, as well as sundry creatures of the night. And yes, I, Astarion Ancunín, one afflicted with a thirst for blood, provided every detail you’re about to read. Isn’t the irony delicious? As always, I have my reasons. You see, many vampires are particularly loathsome, and any of them might pose a threat to yours truly. So when I saw a vampire hunter stride into Rat’s Run, my favorite little hovel of a tavern in Baldur’s Gate, I concocted a brilliant plan. I charmed her, using all the old-fashioned techniques: the honeyed voice, the cocked brow, the hip swivel. And then I smiled, and the hunter glimpsed my fangs. Oh, you should have seen her face! Once we established that, yes, she could try to kill me with her nasty, little stake, we agreed on one thing: I’m a delight, but I’m not a real threat. And I have information that could help her bag some impressive bloodsuckers. So I told her every word you’ll read in this tome. And then another brilliant idea dawned on me. I put quill to scroll. After all, don’t my words deserve to echo in the hearts and minds of vampire hunters for generations? Gods be praised, we might finally be rid of the worst of our kind: the indiscreet, the devil worshipers, the demon harbingers, and the boring! I’ve consulted with scholarly types in Baldur’s Gate, and they’ve suggested the formatting, editorial conventions, and other such mundanities you’ll read in this tome. The result is a bit dry, so I’ve taken the liberty of punctuating the academia with some of my more arresting insights. Only time will tell if the existence of this tome dooms a significant number of my brethren to oblivion. Even if not, at least I’m entertained and at least you’ve received the gift of my wit. You’re quite welcome, darlings! All my love, Astarion

Creating your character
For this campaign think of a character more to the neutral to evil alignment. You will be surrounded by pirates, bandits, thieves etc. Any law enforcement type character will make the game slightly harder for you. I also have premade characters for you if you cant think of what to create. Characters start at level 3 and us standard array for your abilities. You can use any sources that i have made available to you. Use starting equipment and don't change anything unless you ask me first. Don't worry magic items will be awarded to you within game ^_^. Any questions just ask.

Safety
How Travis creates a safe table
We are all grown here and you should know how to be courteous to each other. Before the game starts i will be asking you all what you can and can't handle. I don't do anything extreme but you never know. At the end of each session i will be doing a stars and wishes with all of you. Each player will say what they like or dislike about the session so we all can improve going forward.
