I recently ran an encounter for my players that involved a vampire and her two spawn. My players cleverly defeated them by preventing them from getting back to their coffins after they were reduced to 0hp in combat.
My question is: what happens to the vampires' stuff? They were in gaseous form because of being at 0 hp and their description says that they are "utterly destroyed" if unable to return to their coffins after two hours. Does this mean that nothing is left of them or their gear a la Buffy "dusting" a vampire or does their equipment suddenly fall to the ground? How have other people ruled on this? I'm going to have some treasure situated with the coffins, so "rewards for the encounter" isn't a problem, more curiousity on my part.
