You are returning to Vamp'Ire Town to submit a quest you have completed. The town is about an 8 hour walking distance, and it's already evening, so you look for a good place for camping…
The woods are quiet this night, and the air grows chill. Your fire sputters as a low mist gathers around the edges of your camp, growing closer as the night wears on. By morning, the fog hangs thick in the air, turning the trees around you into gray ghosts. Then you notice these aren't the same trees that surrounded you the night before.
...
No matter which direction you go, you come to a lonely gravel road leading to a village . The tall houses are dark as tombstones. Nestled among these solemn dwellings are a handful of closed-up shops. Even the tavern is shut tight.
A soft whimpering draws your eye toward a pair of children standing in the middle of an otherwise life-less street. A girl and a boy of about 10 and 7 years old respectively. The boy is weeping and clutching a stuffed doll. The girl is trying to hush the boy.
After shushing the boy, the girl turns to you and says, "There's a monster in our house !"
