Blood at the Townhouse of Night's Hunger

The party cleared a modest three-story townhouse that had been operating as a feeding ground and nest for six vampire spawn. The place smells of stale blood and cold iron. Bedrooms hide cots converted into crude coffins, a boarded cellar contains a barred sleeping alcove, and the upstairs parlor held a trove of personal effects pillaged from several victims. Most valuables are mundane—signet rings, silverware, and small gemstones taken from patrons—while a few items show the lair's darker utility: vials of preserved blood, a silvered dagger kept ready for nocturnal confrontations, and a curious blood-tinged mantle that thrums faintly with unwholesome power. A battered ledger with names and addresses, plus a small reliquary with a strange prayer tucked inside, provide leads for future investigations or ransomers. The haul is appropriate for a level-5 party: a mix of coins, tradeable goods, useful minor magic, and plot hooks rather than apocalyptic artifacts.
