Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neil the Knight" data-source="post: 7022136" data-attributes="member: 6801269">I quickly touched on the Pulanti in my last post and wanted to expand a bit on my ideas.I read through  the Pulanti Estate adventure and I am not particularly fond of it. Firstly there is already an adventure involving citizens of Endhome disappearing (The Slaving Priestess), there is already an encounter with a vampire deep underneath Barakus and finally the whole modules climax is a clash with a Lich. So its kinda overkill to have an adventure involving a powerful vampire family kidnapping people. They've really tried to cram EVERY type of undead into this book.The one good substitute for this adventure that springs to mind is the Death House from CoS. Unfortunately i recently ran it as a as a halloween one off special, but I would highly recommend you run it that way with a few simple changes. Change the letter from Strad in the skeletons hand to be a sheet of music. When played on the harpsichord it unlocks the secret door in the Attic. Also change the statue of Strad in the basement to be Mordiggian, God of ghouls. If you did want to keep it truer to LCoB, all you'd need to change is what is what is listed above plus the sacrificial chamber to something more akin to the chamber of blood with Thelonius and Esmerelda Pulantis coffins close by. Use the alcove the shambling mound comes out of to be the entrance to the Rat Brood nest. Either way you run it I would definitely keep Rose and Thorn the way they are  written. I think the party interactions with them are some of the best parts of the moduleBut I digress. So I've wiped all vampires from Endhome and im looking to replace them with some thing that will fit into the Sons of Gruumsh story line a little better. By mashing them up with the Natale family I came up with this.Background:Presently Thelonius Pulanti presides over the largest of the minor houses. Though the second oldest family in Endhome, the Pulanti's have fallen out of prominence in the last few decades since the Quinchino's coup. With few land holdings left and their once mighty trading empire in shambles, they are on the verge of bankruptcy. Thelonius is now forced to sell off large portions of their family estate to maintain a shadow of the former luxurious life they once enjoyed.Members:Thelonius PulantiAlthough his Holdings are much diminished since the battle with the Quinchino's, Thelonius continues to seek revenge against his enemies. He publicly competes with the great houses and loudly blames Fernando Quinchino for the death of his father Ricardo Pulanti. In retaliation Fernando will blame the Thelonius for the disappearance of the noble families scions. Though it would be quite advantageous for him Thelonius has nothing to do with the disappearances. He is willing to pay the Pc's gold and the deed to the Swordfish to secure proof that he is not responsible.</blockquote>
