A Writer's Story and a Letter to Rachel

E
ver since December of 2020, I have been writing adventures and stories for tabletop RPGs, specifically for
the 5th edition of the world's most famous roleplaying game. I have published 18 modules in a period of just
3 months and I have so much more to share with the world, both ready and in the works. Despite my
background and experience in narrative writing and the two decades of being a Game Master for all sorts of
campaigns and adventures, I never thought I would be here right now doing what I do.
All of this, would have not been possible without Rachel Eaton's push back in December.
I always loved homebrewing my own adventures for the campaign I run with some of my friends online and when I stumbled
across Rachel's art on Instagram, I had the idea of creating some puzzles with her art and poetry. I messaged her immediately
about it and she was very positive about me using her art for our campaign.
One week later and my players were absolutely in love with the puzzles and Rachel's art. They asked me if this was a pre-made
adventure and when I told them that I made it, they also asked if I was planning to release it as a module.
I was surprised, humbled and at the same time enthusiastic, because the idea of releasing written RPG content under my name
had never occurred to me before this. So I messaged Rachel about it. I knew I had to do everything right; art credits, copyrights
for using the RPG system and all the other stuff that need to be respected when publishing something, even non-commercially.
Rachel was super positive... again!
It took me about 3 weeks of learning how to write with CSS, learning how to use photoshop and other relevant software,
reading and being inspired by how others write RPG adventures, learning how to use Homebrewery and last but not least,
establishing a good way to do this in the future.
Only 3 weeks later, my first ever module, The Tower of the Starlight Knight, was released to the public. A module filled to the
brim with the beautiful artwork made by Rachel herself. The story, completely inspired by Rachel's stunning art and evocative
poetry. I had not been that happy with a creation of my own, in a very long time.
Rachel, posted about it on her Instagram and thousands of people reacted, expressing how much they liked the story and the
idea behind Rachel's art being used for an RPG adventure. I was blown away by the response and I actually cried that night,
because, once again, I had never before felt this way.
I have been running a Patreon page and creating tons of adventures and supplement stuff since then, with my list of contacts
always growing. What I learnt from having worked with Rachel, I am improving every single day through my interaction with
map makers, illustrators and other creators. Collaborations, proper commercial licenses and so much more happening,
keeping me inspired and motivated. Art-ventures, have now become my new favorite thing.
Rachel has been enthusiastic, kind and supportive, every step of the way. The person I at first thought would be
unapproachable, due to me being a small-time freelance writer and her being a super busy artist, ended up being the person
that would push me into what has now become my main career path and what fuels me with joy and self-fulfilment on a daily
basis.
Happy birthday Rachel and congratulations on your continuous success, which is more than deserved for the amount of work,
talent and effort you put into what you do. I am honored and humbled to be an acquaintance of yours and even more so to be
someone that has worked with your art in such inspiring ways to create stories.
I have been thinking, since December, how I could ever repay you for the creative push you gave me back then. This adventure
module, is my gift and tribute to you. I hope you love reading through it as much as I loved writing it.

With love,
~Kelfecil

Threads of Fate

A
lythra dusted one of the many books that were
around her and opened it to see what is inside.
Cleaning the attic was most probably one of her
favorite things, since it allowed her to find
knowledge of the past that she may have
previously thought was of no value. In many
cases, she was right, but today...
Today was different.
Alythra sought to find a book that talked about the knights of
old. The fabled, Starlight Knights. She wished to know more
about them, for her heart belonged to one that had recently
taken the sacred path to becoming a paladin and wanted to
seek the guidance of the stars more than anything. Alythra
knew that such a task was near impossible, since a lot had
tried to unlock the secrets of the stars, but none had
managed to do so.
"With the help of a Fate-Weaver, anything is possible"
thought Alythra as she continued to search through her huge
pile of books.
It was Vivienne's birthday, so Alythra really wanted to
surprise her with something big. She had not proclaimed her
love for her yet, but she planned to do so soon. The two were
very close to one another but Alythra had been afraid to
express her feelings for quite a long time, afraid of being
resented by the knight. She was not sure of how her beloved
friend felt about her and even more so, was afraid that her
feelings would not be met.
While Alythra browsed through her books, she suddenly
felt an intense pain in her heart. She looked around in panic
and focused to try and see through the threads of fate. She
put a lot of effort into finding it, but she was eventually able to
see Vivienne's fate-thread. She touched the thread and saw a
vision of her beloved friend, lying unconscious in front of
what seemed to be the silhouette of another creature.
The vision was not very clear, but Alythra saw enough of it to
understand where her friend might be.
She immediately stood up, prepared herself and went out to
seek help with her quest of saving her friend. She was in a
hurry, but she knew she had to be smarter than to head into
unknown places on her own. Especially a place that legends
tell is the home of a vampire...

Introduction
Kelfecil's Tales is all about stories and adventures inspired by
art. Each adventure focuses on a different featured artist.
Unlike the traditional way of creating adventures and then
finding art that suits what the story is all about, I get inspired
by the art of a certain artist and then create something based
on the art itself.
This module's featured artist is: Rachel Eaton (RayleeArts)
Quick Adventure Info
Astral Invitation is one of the many short adventures I release
on a weekly basis for free. Some quick information about it:
Recommended Average Party Level (APL): 4 to 5
Experience from Completion: ~4,650
General Theme: Search and Rescue
Setting: Any, Starlight Chronicles
Time - Sessions to Finish: x1 3-hour session
Adventure Summary
The adventurers find a witch at her shop or some other place
asking for help with a quest. She wants to venture north to a
place where she believes a vampire lives. She seeks to help
her friend who she believes is in danger and she knows better
than to venture in vampire territory on her own. The story
has a big revelation in the end and quite a bit of drama
involved.
Running the Adventure
This adventure is easily adaptable and can easily be run as a
One-Shot, as an added adventure in your campaign or as
part of the Starlight Chronicles setting created by Kelfecil's
Tales.
This adventure takes place during the "Rise of Astromancy"
era in the Astral Chronicles timeline and setting.
More information on the custom Kelfecil's Tales campaign
setting can be found in the available for free Of Starlight and
Void supplement.
It is generally suggested that you read through this entire
module if you plan on running it. Unlike other one-shots
where you can read some things on the go, it is a good idea to
know more or less everything about this adventure before
you start running it for your group. For example, the players
might explore the mansion in a very different order than the
order that is given for the rooms in the instructions.

Background
The story of the adventure revolves around the relationship
between the witch Alythra and the paladin Vivienne as well
as the later to be discovered relationship between Vivienne
and the vampiress Rachel.
Alythra is trying to find ways to help her friend and also the
person she secretly loves, Vivienne. Vivienne is specifically
looking for ways to understand how a paladin can become a
Starlight Knight. These knights are legendary warriors that
were blessed by the deities of the realm with Starlight Magic.
They were blessed in ways that allowed them to protect and
help those in need. Alythra believes that her friend deserves
this, since she sees her as the most kind and loving person
she has ever met in her life.
What is true though, is that, no paladin has managed to
become a Starlight Knight in a very long time, because none
were noble and virtuous enough to qualify in the eyes of the
Astral Siblings for that sort of empowerment. Alythra is
blinded by her love for Vivienne and is therefore not able to
see how Vivienne is way too zealous about being able to
become a Starlight Knight, so much, that she has lost sight of
her true purpose as a paladin and as a protector of others
who cannot protect themselves.
The adventure takes the players on a journey with Alythra to
the north, where they try to infiltrate a vampire mansion. This
is the place where Vivienne has been taken to. Alythra
though, does not know that this vampire is female and also
does not know that Vivienne arrived there at her own will,
with the goal of becoming a vampire, so that she may have
more time to find a way to become a Starlight Knight.
Vivienne of course, does not understand that this is not
really the way and although she has feelings for the
vampiress Rachel, she is going through this ritual for her own
selfish goals as well.
It is a story of drama, affection and selfish behaviors with
what I believe could provide a life lesson for a lot of people
that read or play through it.

Characters
Alythra Nightsinger
Alythra is a half-elf Fate-Weaver sorceress. She sees the
threads of fate around her and is able to sometimes alter
them to her will. Her power is still limited, but she is also able
to cast some more, common, sorcerer spells.
If you would like to know more about Fate-Weavers, then
check out the free Of Starlight and Void supplement. A
complete explanation of the Sorcerer subclass, as well the
powers of Fate-Weavers, are given through a lot of the pages
in the supplement.
Alythra is secretly in love with Vivienne. Although it is very
common and accepted in this part of the realm for people to
love anyone of any gender and be involved in romantic
relationship, she fears that the her friend Vivienne will not
respond well to her feelings. It is not because she does not
believe she could be in love with another female creature, but
more because she knows Vivienne is a very dedicated paladin
who is always focused on her missions and even more so on
her constant efforts to become better at what she does.
Alythra talks with great affection about Vivienne, but her
love has blinded her, not allowing her to see how zealous and
obsessed Vivienne has become with finding a way to become
a Starlight Knight.
Unique Phrase: Alythra will often say "if fate wills it."
Desire: Alythra wishes to be with Vivienne but also for
Vivienne to be happy.
Fear: Alythra's biggest fear is being rejected by Vivienne.
Misbelief: Alythra believes that when one loves another
creature, then only good can come out of it.

Vivienne Lightheart
Vivienne is a human paladin that seeks to become a Starlight
Knight. She has heard of the legends around Starlight
Knights and although she knows it is difficult, she is trying
her best to discover a way to become one.
If you would like to know more about Starlight Knights, then
check out the last few pages of this module or the free Of
Starlight and Void supplement.
Vivienne, no matter how Alythra sees her, is way more selfish
than she appears to be. Although she has become a paladin
to help those in need, she still seeks to gain power so that she
may become stronger and therefore able to protect herself
and those close to her. She is in love with the vampiress
Rachel and has been seeing her for a few months already.
Vivienne was told by Rachel that there is a way for her to
have more time to find what she is looking for. Although
Vivienne loves Rachel, she has agreed to taking part in the
blood ritual, mostly because she wants to become immortal
and have more time to discover how she can become a
Starlight Knight. She is also doing it because she loves
Rachel, but that is still not the main reason why she agreed to
lose her mortality.
The name Vivienne is a girl's name of French origin meaning
"life" which makes it even more ironic that she is willing to
give up her mortality for the sake of extending the time she
has to fulfill her goals.
Unique Phrase: Vivienne will rarely speak through the
adventure so feel free to make something up.
Desire: Vivienne wishes more than anything to become a
Starlight Knight.
Fear: Vivienne fears that she will not be able to find the
secrets to becoming a Starlight Knight before she dies.
Misbelief: Vivienne does not believe that one is tied to any
other creature's existence.

Unique Phrase: Rachel is much more eloquent than
other creatures due to her experience and age and speaks
in a rather elegant manner. She uses words like "alas",
"mirthfully" and "plead".
Desire: Rachel wishes nothing but to be happy with the
one she loves so dearly.
Fear: Rachel fears that if she does not put any effort into
connecting with other creatures, she may end up going
through this long and immortal life all by herself.
Misbelief: Rachel does not believe that creatures can be
truly kind. She has seen far too much in her long life that
she now finds it difficult to connect with others due to the
small amount of trust that she is able to put in other
creatures.

"The Third Star" Store
Here, the adventurers can buy a variety of magical items. The
person behind the store's counter is a frogfolk named Merv.
Merv has worked at Alythra's shop for almost a year now.
Alythra met Merv in one of settlements near her shop when
he was trying to find food to survive. Instead of food or
money, she offered him a job and Merv was immediately
delighted at the idea of working for someone to earn an
honest living and be able to buy his own food.
A year later, Merv is now extremely happy and also
extremely loyal to Alythra. He will go out of his way to make
sure that the shop is clean, runs well and Alythra is always
happy with the state of business.
Merv has a very friendly personality and will go in detail
about each and every one of the things that the shop offers to
its customers.
The goods offered at The Third Star are listed below:

Prologue
Once the adventurers are done shopping, Alythra the witch
will approach them and tell them of the tragedy that has
struck her friend.
"She was kidnapped by a vampire! I cannot imagine what
horrors await her wherever she has been taken. I must find
her and rescue her. Will you help me adventurers?"
The players may ask for a reward in return for completing the
quest and Alythra will oblige, saying the following:
"I will gladly reward you with enough credit for purchasing
pretty much anything you need from my store. Your help
would be very valuable and we do not have much time, so I
am willing to compensate you for helping me with my quest
to rescue my friend, as soon as possible!"
Alythra mentions that she knows where the vampire's
mansion is. It is a two hours' journey through the forest, from
her store to the mansion.
I would suggest skipping through the traveling part if you
are playing this as a one-shot since it will save you some time.
Once the adventurers and Alythra arrive at the mansion, read
the following:
11
"You have traveled through the forest and up a hill, close to
the snowy mountains of the north lands. The travel was not
difficult, but the weather is getting colder with every step you
take up towards the vampire's mansion. Soon enough, you
find yourselves in front of a snow-covered 2-floor mansion
with a small chapel to the right of it. There seems to be light
coming from inside the windows of both buildings but you
are not able to discern what is going on inside.
Alythra, turns to you and says, "I can sense the Vampire's
presence in the chapel! But... I can also sense a magical
barricade around it... This MUST be where my friend is being
kept. I believe that the best way to do this, would be by
investigating the main building first. What do you think we
should do?"
The following pages will take you through a room by room
description of what is in the mansion and all the encounters
and puzzles the adventurers will find within it.
You may now move to Act 1: Infiltrating the Mansion.

Act 1: Infiltrating the 1. The Entrance Hall
As soon as the adventurers make it inside the mansion, read
Mansion the following.
There are multiple ways to infiltrate the Vampiress's

breaks apart. The butler Damien will rush to the door
after 2 attacks on the door to deal with the intruders.
Using the spell Knock will immediately open the door, but
will make enough noise to alert Damien of the party's
intrusion. Damien will rush to the entrance hall to attack
the party. If asked, Alythra will say that she knows how to
cast the Knock spell.
Some other brilliant way that your players might come up
with and make sense. In any case, make sure you take into
account how much sound the adventurers are making.
If you want to make it easier for the party to have a
direction, have Alythra suggest that they should try the front
door, mentioning that it might be too dangerous to go looking
for a backdoor at a vampire's area since vampires tend to
attract all sorts of dangerous creatures like wolves and bats.
All of the doors inside the mansion are unlocked unless it
is noted that they are not in some of the following room
descriptions. All the outside doors are locked, except for the
one that leads to Room 6. which is also the backdoor that the
players may use as an alternative way to enter the mansion.
If the party decides to go around the back, in the hopes of
finding another way to get inside, they will be attacked as
soon as they enter the mansion's back yard.
🢂 ''Encounter!'' x1 Winter Wolf that was hiding in the
corner of the mansion's back yard and x1 Swarm of Bats that
was resting on the tree in the yard will attack the party at the
same time. No matter how much noise is made during the
encounter, Damien will look at the window and notice the
fight. He will immediately go towards the back door, so that
he may stop the adventurers from going any further into the
mansion.
The party may then try the doors and find that they are all
locked, except for the one that leads to Room 6.

If Damien was alerted, then read the following.
Before you are able to notice anything else or even make a
decision on where to go, you hear the sound of someone
running towards you from the northern door of the room.
The door opens abruptly and you see what seems to be a
black haired man with dark brown skin, his eyes glowing red
and his hands held up to his chest.
He is wearing a crimson suit and he seems quite angry. He
yells, "who daaaaaaaaaares break into this plaaaaaaaaaace?!"

🢂 ''Encounter!'' Damien, Rachel's butler is a loyal Vampire

The Von Sid family is a family that is soon to be revealed in
an upcoming Kelfecil's Tales adventure that is set in the
Starlight Chronicles campaign setting.
2. Waiting Room
Once the adventurers enter this room, read the following.
You find yourselves inside a small room with two armchairs
and a sofa, all dressed in bright red textiles. The room sees to
the outside of the mansion through a large window that is
half-covered by long crimson drapes. Other than that, the
room seems empty.
The room has a bookcase to the left that acts as a secret
doorway to one room, the cellar of the mansion. The only way
to open the secret doorway is by reciting Rachel's favorite
poem:
She wanted the blood

it has x6 more bottles of The Lady's Blood.

Once the adventurers enter this room, read the following.
You enter what seems to be a dining room with a large table,
extending from one of the room to the other. Decorative
items are seen at the corners of the room, vases and what
seems to be dead plants. The table is empty, but the chairs
seem to be in a position that would suggest that they were
left this way by someone that was in a hurry.

You may place random kitchenware items here if you want to
for the adventurers to pick up, but the only item of value that
they can find here is an old wine bottle.
''History.'' A successful DC 17 History check will allow
⦿
someone to recognize the bottle as a very rare pinot noir, The
Lady's Blood. This type of wine was brewed five centuries ago
and it is regarded as the drink of nobles. Each bottle can
fetch a selling price of 500 gold pieces. On a failed roll, the
adventurers think of the wine as just another average wine
bottle. It is also very likely that if they try to sell the bottle, if
the merchant recognizes the wine and sees that the
adventurers do not, the players will be swindled price-wise.
In terms of the Starlight Chronicles setting, the wine bottle is
before the Astral Conflict took place.
13
This room is haunted and in some ways enchanted so that
the Countess Rachel Von Eaton may talk with dead spirits.
She does so with the help of a Necromancer.
In terms of the Starlight Chronicles setting, the room is
enchanted in a way that a Fate-Weaver sorcerer is able to see
the threads of fate much more clearly.
''Investigation.'' A successful DC 14 Investigation check
⦿
will allow anyone to find that there are stains of wine on the
crimson cloth covering the dining table. What is more
curious, is that the stains are still wet and the wine seems to
be constantly dripping on the edge of the table, on to the
carpet below.
🢂 ''Encounter!'' If anyone moves any of the items in the
dining hall, they will be disturbing the enchanted state of the
room and in turn the unseen spirits that lurk within it. As
soon as that happens, x3 Specters will appear and attack the
adventurers. The specters spawn wherever you want them to
in the room.
6. The Main Kitchen
7. The Dead Garden
Once the adventurers enter this room, read the following.
As you walk inside this room, you notice the glass ceiling and
immediately understand that this is a small greenhouse. A
preserved garden that, although it has the perfect
atmosphere to help plants of all sorts grow, it seems like it is
not doing its job. That is because, all of the plants around
you, look very much withered and dead.

Once the adventurers enter this room, read the following. The door that leads to the yard is locked and can be unlocked
from the inside if the adventurers wish to do so.
You find yourselves in a simple kitchen, filled with mostly
clean plates and pots. In the middle, there is a table with an
apple basket on top of it. The apples seem to be bright red in ⦿ ''Investigation.'' A successful DC 17 Investigation check

are simple apples. Not everything needs to be magical.
⦿ ''Investigation.'' A successful DC 16 Investigation check
will allow anyone to find what seems to be a small potion
behind the big keg at the southeast corner of the kitchen.
Rose of the Valley
The door to the east is locked. If the adventurers do decide A beautiful pink rose that is a very rare find in the

It's a storage room. Use (1): You may hold the flower and say the name
of a creature. No matter what time of the day it is, a
star will shine very bright in the sky and it will shed a
Small Vampire Potion beam of light towards the location of the creature.
The liquid inside the potion is of bright red color and
it smells like fresh blood. The truth is that, it is blood.
However, it can have a magical effect on a creature
that would consume it.
Consume: When consumed, the potion makes a
creature feel rejuvenated, healing for 2d12 points of
damage. On top of that, the creature's senses are
heightened for the next 5 minutes allowing for certain
ability checks to be rolled with advantage (at the GM's
discretion).

8. The Corridor
This is where Damien will be at when the adventurers first
try to break into the mansion. There is nothing unique or
special about the corridor, except for the part that there is a
staircase that leads to the second floor of the mansion.
The way to the second floor (marked B. on the map)
seems to be blocked by a large wooden door that is locked at
the top of the staircase.
The upper floor of the mansion has a few extra things to
explore and takes place on a completely different map. Those
things however, are not necessary to make the adventure feel
complete so they were not added here. If you wish to explore
those extra things, then an extended version of this adventure
is available exclusively for Kelfecil's Tales' Patreon supporters
or Rachel's Patreon supporters!
When the adventurers enter Room 9. then proceed to Act 2:
Melody of Death.
Act 2: Melody of Death
9. The Study Room
Once the adventurers enter this room, read the following.
You enter what seems to be a larger room, bookcases on
your right and left, books all over the place. What gets your
attention right away though, is the magnificent and unique
looking church organ at the northern part of the room. The
Wind Pipes in the color of ivory and the keys of the
instrument seemingly filled with markings that show its old
age.
This is a good place to add extra lore if you want to. If the
players start investigating some of the books around them,
they can find all sorts of information about people of note in
your campaign. It is up to the GM's discretion as to how
much information can be gathered.
In the case that you are playing this in the Starlight
Chronicles campaign setting, then the players will find a bit of
information on vampires and the old world.
In any case, Alythra will stop the adventurers from fooling
around and will tell them that they need to quickly find a way
to access the chapel before it is too late.
⦿ ''Detect Magic.'' If anyone casts Detect Magic in this
room, they will realize that the church organ (marked B. on
the map) is actually connected to some sort of magic that
helps keep the barrier around the chapel active. If nobody
detects it, then feel free to have Alythra tell the adventurers
that she can sense a connection between the organ and the
chapel's magical barrier.
🢂 ''Encounter!'' If someone touches the church organ, then
some of the pipes will start resonating and some chords will
be heard. Specifically, a series of 5 chords. Explain to the
players how they notice that some of the keys on the piano
are magically being pressed. In that moment, x4 Night
Spawns will come out of the pipes of the instrument and soar
through the air towards the adventurers, trying to attack
them.
15
The Night Spawns attack in a specific order on their turn and
each time they do, they play the sound of the same chord
sequence that the organ played when they spawned.
Whenever a Night Spawn is defeated, it does not get
destroyed, but instead it lingers in place in an incorporeal
form, idle but still making the same sound that it did
whenever it is the monsters' order in initiative. Once all four
are defeated, they will still make the same sound every 15
seconds for another full minute.
🢂 ''Puzzle!'' The adventurers will have to play the chord
sequence on the organ. The sequence is the one that they
heard the instrument and the Night Spawns make. If you are
playing this with the special audio provided for the adventure,
then you should request that one of the players sings or hums
the chord sequence before they try to make a Performance
check for their character to play it on the instrument.
You can make this puzzle even harder by having the Night
Spawns resurrect if the sequence played or hummed is
wrong and the only way the players can dispel the magical
barrier is by killing the Night Spawns in the correct order
that they make the sound for the chord sequence.
McRoMusic has prepared a dedicated file for you to play
when this scene with the organ sounds starts. There is a file
which will let you play the chord sequence at the start and at
the end of the encounter. There is also a file that plays the
sound that the Night Spawns make whenever they attack all
together.
If you are not playing with the audio files provided, then you
can simplify this puzzle by asking for a Performance roll once
the players have figured out what they need to do.
If the adventurers do not interact with the organ at all, then
feel free to activate the encounter yourself by having the
whole sound start playing out of nowhere.
As soon as the puzzle with the Church Organ is solved,
then Alythra will mention that she can feel that the barrier is
dispelled. The party may move to the chapel for the final
confrontation in Act 3: Still-Beating Heart.

In the study room, the adventurers will also notice a painting
of a vampiress biting what seems to be a red-haired knight.
You could have Alythra point out that the knight in the picture
looks like Vivienne. The truth behind the painting is that
Vivienne had the painting made a couple months ago and
then gave it to Rachel as a thank you for her efforts in
preparing the upcoming blood ritual.
Below the painting, the adventurers can read a poem that
is written in common.
She wanted the blood
of the red flower bud
Perhaps in death she would return her love
It is the same poem that needs to be recited in order to open
the secret pathway to the cellar that is hidden behind the
bookcase in the guest room.
Act 3: Still-Loving Heart
10. The Chapel of Blood
The party will go outside the chapel and as soon as its big
wooden door is pushed open, you may read the following.
You see before you, what seems to be quite the sight. A small
chapel, fully lit by candlelight that hangs on the walls on the
sides. Drenched in a crimson and yellow-ish light, you
immediately notice ghost-like forms sitting at the benches all
across the chamber, all looking forward. They are all staring at
what seems to be a well-dressed woman with black hair,
standing at the middle of the chapel's larger opening in the
back.
She seems to be standing on top of a red haired knight's
body.
16
As soon as you describe this, mention that Alythra will rush
forward before everyone else and yell at the vampire. What
follows is somewhat of a small dialogue between Alythra and
the vampiress Rachel. Think of it as a very short cutscene
that will give the players some narrative context.
(If any player wants to interrupt and be involved in the
discussion, feel free to provide extra context, based on what
you want the NPCs to share with the adventurers.)
Alythra: "You took her away from me! You monster! I see
what you are trying to do! I have come to end your evil ritual!
Rachel: "The little witch comes to the knight's rescue. HA!
Foolish fate-weaver! Despite your ability to see glimspes of
the future, you were incapable of noticing who Vivienne's
heart really beats for! Has your lust blinded you so much?"
Alythra: "She loved you once, but that does not give you the
right to condemn her to an eternal and painful life like yours!"
Rachel: "You think I am forcing her to do this? You are
mistaken, little witch. She agreed to this!"
Alythra: "Lies! I will never believe someone whose heart is
not even beating anymore!"
Rachel: "My heart... may beat slower... but it loves LONGER!"
As soon as Rachel says that in a louder voice, she will show
her teeth and lunge towards the witch to attack her.
🢂 ''Encounter!'' The outcome of the fight between the
Countess Rachel Von Eaton and Alythra can go either way,
depending on who the players decide to side with. The
outcome of this conflict, is explained in the Epilogue.
The encounter against the Vampiress is quite a difficult one
and will require a lot of cooperation and correct tactics. Feel
free to make this easier or harder, depending on how well you
want your players to do. Ending this encounter with the
adventurers beaten but not killed, is also an option that can
have interesting repercussions to the narrative, so do not feel
afraid to make it difficult.
Throughout the fight, the Vampiress Rachel will be able to
use her abilities to make things difficult for the adventurers.
Make sure you read through the page which has the
Vampiress's stat block carefully so that you may understand
how to play out the final encounter.
Regional Effects
The region surrounding a vampire's lair is warped by the
creature's unnatural presence, creating any of the following
effects:
There's a noticeable increase in the populations of bats,
rats, and wolves in the region.
Plants within 500 feet of the lair wither, and their stems
and branches become twisted and thorny.
Shadows cast within 500 feet of the lair seem abnormally
gaunt and sometimes move as though alive.
A creeping fog clings to the ground within 500 feet of the
vampire's lair. The fog occasionally takes eerie forms, such
as grasping claws and writhing serpents.
If the vampire is destroyed, these effects end after 2d6 days.
Epilogue
As soon as the encounter with Countess Rachel is over, based
on the outcome of it, the following will happen.
If Rachel was defeated
Alythra will spare her life and will look down at her with a
disappointing look. She will then rush to the knight that is
lying flat on her back at the chapel's altar. The following
dialogue will take place:
Alythra: "Are you alright my dear? Are you able to stand up?"
Vivienne: "Alythra? Is that you? What are you doing here?
Alythra: "Do not worry fair knight, you are safe now... I dealt
with the cold vampiress that sought to take your mortality."
Vivienne: "But... Alythra... you do not understand... I wanted
this... I love her..."
As much as I would like to continue the dialogue between the
two NPCs here, one of my favorite things about RPGs is the
fact that the GM is always free to improvise and build on the
stories that they are playing or creating. It is up to you to
decide what the characters' reactions will be from here
onwards.
17
If Alythra is defeated
Rachel will spare Alythra and the party's lives and will
continue with finishing the ritual in front of them. Read the
following.
You watch, helpless, as the vampiress continues the ritual
she was performing. She is now standing over the body of
the unconscious knight and begins chanting in a language
that you do not comprehend. A minute later, she exposes her
neck and leans down close to the knight's mouth. The knight,
suddenly lifts her head, grabs the vampiress's hair and pulls
her forward to bite her neck. She does so and stays there for
at least five seconds, sucking the blood out of the
vampiress's veins.
The vampiress, falls backwards, trying to find her balance and
softly says "it is done..." Shortly after, you see the knight
stand up, with a now pale look on her face and her eyes wide
open.
She turns to Rachel and says "thank you... my love..."
Just like the ending for if Rachel was defeated, I left this part
open-ended so that you may decide for yourself what the
reactions of each of the main NPCs will be for this outcome
of the story.
A more defining conclusion
You could end the one-shot with the following poem:
The night gave way to the sun
and the dark was finally undone
Last night's revelations
Are now nothing but the past's illustrations
Love is painful and love is blind
But longing for it, can be just as unkind
Let these stories, these fairy tales be
As vampires, witches and knights all now knee
Before the glory of love
Eternally

You release a cloud of shimmering gas at a creature you can

Shapechanger. If Rachel isn't in sun light or running water,
it can use its action to polymorph into a Tiny bat or a
Medium cloud of mist, or back into its true form.
    While in bat form, Rachel can't speak, its walking speed
is 5 feet, and it has a flying speed of 30 feet. Its statistics,
other than its size and speed, are unchanged. Anything it
is wearing transforms with it, but nothing it is carrying
does. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
    While in mist form, Rachel can't take any actions,
speak, or manipulate objects. It is weightless, has a flying
speed of 20 feet, can hover, and can enter a hostile
creature's space and stop there. In addition, if air can pass
through a space, the mist can do so without squeezing,
and it can't pass through water. It has advantage on
Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws, and it
is immune to all nonmagical damage, except the damage
it takes from sunlight.
Misty Escape. When it drops to 0 hit points outside its
resting place, Rachel transforms into a cloud of mist (as
in the Shapechanger trait) instead of falling unconscious,
provided that it isn't in sunlight or running water. If it
can't transform, it is destroyed.
    While it has 0 hit points in mist form, it can't revert to
its vampire form, and it must reach its resting place
within 2 hours or be destroyed. Once in its resting place,
it reverts to its vampire form. It is then paralyzed until it
regains at least 1 hit point. After spending 1 hour in its
resting place with 0 hit points, it regains 1 hit point.
Regeneration. Rachel regains 10 hit points at the start of
its turn if it has at least 1 hit point and isn't in sunlight or
running water. If Rachel takes radiant damage or damage
from holy water, this trait doesn't function at the start of
Rachel's next turn.
Weakened. Rachel is
22
Spider Climb. Rachel can climb difficult surfaces, including
upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an
ability check.
Vampire Weaknesses. Rachel has the following flaws:
    Forbiddance. Rachel can't enter a residence without an
invitation from one of the occupants.
    Harmed by Running Water. Rachel takes 20 acid
damage if it ends its turn in running water.
    Stake to the Heart. If a piercing weapon made of wood
is driven into Rachel's heart while Rachel is incapacitated
in its resting place, Rachel is paralyzed until the stake is
removed.
    Sunlight Hypersensitivity. Rachel takes 20 radiant
damage when it starts its turn in sunlight. While in
sunlight, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability
checks.
Actions
Multiattack (Vampire Form Only). Rachel makes two
attacks, only one of which can be a bite attack.
Unarmed Strike (Vampire Form Only). Melee Weapon
Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 6 (1d8 +
2) bludgeoning damage. Instead of dealing damage,
Rachel can grapple the target (escape DC 18).
Bite (Bat or Vampire Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +5
to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is
grappled by Rachel, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 5
(1d6 + 2) piercing damage plus 5 (2d6) necrotic damage.
The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount
equal to the necrotic damage taken, and Rachel regains
hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until
the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect
reduces its hit point maximum to 0. A humanoid slain in
this way and then buried in the ground rises the following
night as a vampire spawn under Rachel's control.
Charm. Rachel targets one humanoid it can see within 30
ft. of it. If the target can see Rachel, the target must
succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw against this
magic or be charmed by Rachel. The charmed target
regards Rachel as a trusted friend to be heeded and
protected. Although the target isn't under Rachel's
control, it takes Rachel's requests or actions in the most
favorable way it can, and it is a willing target for Rachel's
bite attack.
    Each time Rachel or Rachel's companions do anything
harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw,
ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the
effect lasts 24 hours or until Rachel is destroyed, is on a
different plane of existence than the target, or takes a
bonus action to end the effect.
Children of the Night (1/Day). Rachel magically calls 1d4
swarms of bats or rats, provided that the sun isn't up.
While outdoors, Rachel can call 2d6 wolves instead. The
called creatures arrive in 1d4 rounds, acting as allies of
Rachel and obeying its spoken commands. The beasts
remain for 1 hour, until Rachel dies, or until Rachel
dismisses them as a bonus action.
Paladin: Oath of Stars
This is an extra section that I really wanted to include in this
module, since a lot of people have been asking for this ever
since I made my first release with Rachel's artwork. This is
the Starlight Knight subclass.
The Oath of Stars binds a paladin to a life of absolute
dedication towards the Astral Siblings. Ukko and Umi never
reveal themselves to mortals unless it is necessary, so when it
comes to a paladin being contacted by one of the two deities,
it is considered a huge blessing and honor.
A paladin who wishes to become a Starlight Knight must
dedicate themselves to a life of righteousness and justice. In
many cases, this can be translated in different ways. Not
every Starlight Knight has the same understanding of justice
but all of them are of a good alignment.
Unlike other Oaths, the Oath of Stars allows the paladin to
empower themselves with Starlight magic so that they may
face danger but also avoid it. The most important thing that
the deities expected from a Starlight Knight is complete faith
in them and their will to be followed whenever they have a
task for the starlight-blessed paladin. It is quite rare for Umi
or Ukko to ask something of a Starlight Knight and it is
usually Ukko that will visit an oath-bound paladin for
something.
Oath Spells
You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the table
below.
Level Spells
3rd Starlight Shroud, Expeditious Retreat
5th Stardust, Ultraviolet
9th Guiding Light, Fly
14th Far Sight, Greater Invisibility
17th Golden Glow, Planar Binding
Fury of Ukko. 3/day. As a bonus action, you may focus on
harnessing the powers of Starlight Magic all around you to
empower your next spell, attack or action. The effect can vary
based on your level. It is up to the GM's discretion for actions
and spells but when it comes to attacks and spells, you can
follow the table below.
Level Effect
3rd +1d6 starlight/radiant damage on hit
5th +2 to hit and +1d6 starlight/radiant damage on hit
9th +2 to hit and +2d6 starlight/radiant damage on hit
14th +4 to hit and +2d6 starlight/radiant damage on hit
17th +5 to hit and +3d6 starlight/radiant damage on hit
Aura of Starlight
Starting at 7th level, you have proven worthy of being one of
the few blessed Starlight Knights and for that, Ukko blesses
you with an aura of protection.
You may cast Disguise Self at will, without expending any
spell slots and without having to move or speak. You
magically make yourself shift form as the stars disguise you
and give you a new appearance.
You also emanate an aura while you are not incapacitated.
You and any creatures within 10 feet are granted resistance
to the first radiant and necrotic damage they will take in
combat. This effect refreshes after a long rest.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following
two Channel Divinity options.
Starlight Infusion. 1/day. As an action, you can imbue one
weapon you are holding with Starlight Magic using your
Channel Divinity. This effect lasts for 2 minute or until you
are no longer wielding the weapon. The effects of this
infusion vary based on various conditions:
Bright Your weapon emits bright yellow light in a 30-
Sunlight foot radius and dim light 10 feet beyond that.
You gain a +2 to all of your attack rolls.
Dim As above but all values are halved.
Sunlight
Clear Your weapon emits dim white light in a 20-
Moonlight foot radius. You gain +2 to all of your saving
rolls while wielding this weapon.
Dim As above but all values are halved.
Moonlight
Darkness Your weapon takes the color of the night-sky,
with stars shining dimly on it. You gain +1 to
your AC while holding this weapon.
23
The Cosmos Endures
Starting at 15th level, you understand that the only thing
that is eternal is the cosmic bodies that the Astral Siblings
created themselves. You understand what it means to be one
with the essence of Starlight Magic around you.
You gain a permanent +1 to your AC and the following
effects.
Sunlight As a reaction, you may strike a creature that
enters or exits your melee range with 1d6
radiant damage
Moonlight As a reaction, you may strike a creature that
enters or exits your melee range with 1d6
force damage
Darkness As a reaction, you may strike a creature that
enters or exits your melee range with 1d4
force damage

Champion of the Stars

Starting at 20th level, you learn have proven yourself as the
true champion of Ukko, the Sun God. He and Umi both are so
proud of you that they have decided to bless you even more.
You understand everything about the essence of Starlight
Magic around you, allowing you to learn one new Starlight
Wizard spell every month. You may cast that spell with same
requirements a wizard would and only once a week.
In addition to that, you also gain the following bonuses:
You may cast invisibility as a reaction after being hit by an
attack or a spell.
As a bonus action, you may once a day make your Aura of
Starlight radiate intensely, harming any targets of your
choice that are within its radius. The aura deals 3d6
points of radiant damage to anyone who enters the aura's
radius or starts their turn in it.
At the start of your turn, you may force any targets of your
choice in your Aura's radius to roll a Wisdom saving throw
and be blinded on a failed roll.

Ukko and Umi as deities
