The Alchemist's Cerebral Cache

After the psychic hum of the brain in a jar finally dissipates into a dull silence, the party finds themselves standing in a dimly lit apothecary belonging to the castle's master. Rows of glass vials and jars containing suspended biological specimens line the walls, shimmering in the pale candlelight. On a central workbench of dark mahogany, several valuable reagents and tools are scattered among the broken remains of the jar's containment vessel, hinting at the vampire's efforts to blend traditional medicine with necrotic preservation.
