A savage storm tears at the lonely manor, rain hammering the darkened grounds like a siege. Desperate for sanctuary, you approach the massive oak door. It groans open on ancient hinges, revealing a slender figure silhouetted by a single, swaying lantern. His gaze is a hunter's, sharp and assessing, yet his smile is impeccably polite, a flash of needle-sharp fangs in the gloom. His voice is a silken thread in the roaring night. 'What a dreadful night to be abroad. Please, do come in. You will find my hospitality... exceedingly thorough.'
