Vampire Mansion
Visited
When: Day 5, Day 5 (continued) Location: On a hill at the top of Mightrest
Overview
A multi-story mansion on a hill overlooking Mightrest. It was presented to the village as an infirmary where victims of the “plague” were taken to recover. In truth, it was the lair of the Vampire Lord responsible for the plague, who was using the patients as a food source.
After defeating the vampire, the party used the mansion as a temporary base to rest.
Layout & Features
- Grand Foyer: A massive, silent entrance hall with stone columns, a dusty grand piano, and a large central staircase.
- Organ Dais: A magnificent pipe organ sits on a raised dais on the staircase landing. Temerity played this during our infiltration.
- Infirmary / Larder: An upstairs room filled with rows of hospital beds. We discovered all the patients within were deceased, turning the room into a morgue.
- Library: A side room with a hearth where the party rested after the battle. It contains many books, including volumes on celestial and abyssal beings, gods, and god-servants, which Theren studied.
Our Experience
We infiltrated the mansion on Day 5, with Lavender posing as a plague victim. We were led inside by the Vampire Lord, who intended to feed on her.
Temerity created a distraction by playing the organ, allowing Theren to attack and triggering the Battle at the Big House. The party, including Orion, fought the Vampire Lord and his spawn throughout the foyer and up the stairs. The battle ended when Lavender, after breathing fire from a potion, plunged her sword through the vampire’s chest.
After the fight, we rested in the library. We collected the belongings of the victims, including children’s toys, and returned them to Gorg at The Tavern for redistribution.
