A Trail of Death

The party talks to Fuzzlebump, a gnomish necromancer who makes his animal friends undead. He is very childish and is terrified of losing his friends. After a previous group stole his spellbook, his "mentor" got mad and made him send Fuzzlebumps friends to attack the town in a suicide mission.

They wait with Fuzzlebump in order to find the "mentor". It turns out the mentor is a vampire wizard who is working for the BBEG and is testing out how componants for the grand ritual will work in this world. There are many parts that need to be tested and compared for the final battle.

They agreed to work for the Vampire as he wasn't outright hostile. He plans on sending them on missions that are not evil to help the final goal.

The Vampire is Ivan Mededev (Medyedyev).
