This hubris lead them to collect rituals, superstitions, and occult texts that were nothing more than shams and frauds peddled by self-titled “mystics” and “seers."One of these scams sold by a traveling “mindreader” was a ritual to turn its participants into immortal vampires. While grotesque, the murderous ritual was powerless to invoke true necromantic magic.In their confidence and ignorance, the Eternal Scions enacted the ritual. They earned nothing but displeasure from the god of death, who would never grant an ultimate form of undeath to such deluded and feeble supplicants. So the god struck down the Eternal Scions in humiliating fashion, turning them into mindless, starving mockeries of vampires.One night, the Eternal Scions gathered in their hideout below the inn to enact their immortality ritual: Murdering an innocent woman in the name of the god of death and burying themselves beneath her blood so they could rise as vampires. But the god of death laughed at their hubris, turning the Eternal Scions into starving, mindless ghouls, instead.Eternal Scion, Leathery-Skinned Ghoul, Misled Cultist, Starving Mockery of a Vampire, Starving Mindless Ghoul: ?Vampire, Immortal Vampire: ?Eliza Long, Ghost, Spirit, Black-Haired Green-Eyed Ghost: ?Skeleton: ?Eliza Long, Wraith: If the PCs destroyed Eliza’s ghost, she reforms over the altar as a wraith in 1d6 days unless her remains were given funeral rites and buried in a cemetery.</blockquote>
