Night of the Crimson Coffers

After driving the true vampire from his inner sanctum and putting the last of his spawn to the torch, the party pried open the vampire's private coffers. Velvet-lined chests yielded coins and courtly finery, while locked cabinets contained alchemical phials and ritual scraps. Hidden beneath a false floor was an extradimensional bag sewn into a tapestry and a ring wrapped in mourning cloth. The survivors left with practical tools for future hunts—a yew stake, healing potions, and a +1 blade—along with rarer prizes that will attract scholarly attention or dark interest: a vial of true vampire blood and a fragment of an obscene blood rune. The haul is heavy with the trappings of a night-ruled court: beautiful things, lethal implements, and secrets that will not stay buried long.
