Message: <blockquote data-quote="papastebu" data-source="post: 3554773" data-attributes="member: 40894">One of the PCs is a vampire, or an NPC vampire hires the PCs. The vampire has turned a girl that he loved as a mortal, and he wants the PCs to travel as he cannot, to find a cure, which all say cannot be found. After adventuring for a time, with the vampire's evil becoming more and more prevalent, and his and the local girl's redemption more remote, an obscure legend tells of a ritual that can be performed under an eclipsed sun, and it will not only restore the undead to themselves, but redeem all of their victims, as well.The PCs find the ritual after sacking an ancient keep held by all manner of nasty undead---I modify everything, so these would be my spin on the standards, all the way up to lichdom, maybe, although I think they are a little too unscary, as opposed to powerful vampires and the like---and have to fight their way free, taking a large chunk out of the undead population. Alas, the initial PC or NPC, whichever, is saved, but his minion, the girl, is beyond redemption---like most things of this nature, you gotta wanna be saved in order to be saved---and becomes the BBEG for the final stage of the adventure/campaign/whatever. He is forced to destroy the evil that he created, though he loves her, still.</blockquote>
