About the adventure
The ancient vampire cabal known as The Crimson Court has held the strategic city of Fallowheart in their undead grip, using it to legitimize their dark reign over the entire Ostoyan Empire. For too long, these seven immortal parasites have ruled from the shadows, turning a symbol of resistance into their seat of power. The Order of the Dawn - a holy organization dedicated to combating the undead scourge - has formed a desperate alliance with the Roma army to liberate Fallowheart and strike at the heart of vampiric corruption. However, conventional warfare alone cannot defeat enemies who have ruled for millennia and command supernatural powers beyond mortal comprehension. You have received a letter from General Artemos Dulka asking for help infiltrate the city and give the people of Fallowheart hope. Are you up to the task?

What Alley brings to the table
As GM I bring the knowledge of the game and base story. I use voices and a modulator, sound effects and music to help set the tone for the story. This is a combat heavy story with great elements of roleplay included.
