To set up this spin-off from our main campaign, we let secondary characters pick up one of our minor villains while our heroes busied themselves with larger-scale conflicts. They followed a vampire’s spirit through a blood tornado and, next thing they knew, found themselves in the demi-plane of Steymhorod.
