More GM Notes:

Radlebb Keep: Korrigan mentions increased criminal activity, peasant in ruined shop says town guard has turned against citizens and only Order can be trusted, family by fireplace says dire wolves are back, Order says to get a magic staff from Collum's wolf-den. Combat w/ thieves and corrupt guards (plus captain/goblins).

Note found in den:
"My Dear Collum,
You and your pack have served me well, and now I must ask another favor of you. The captain of the guard at Radlebb Keep will visit your den to pick up his pay. When he arrives, please capture him. He, along with the others, will be taken to Koriszegy Crypt to be changed. The captain will serve me better in death than he ever did in life.
Sincerely,
V.K."

In Crypt:
Statue of vampire says: "Children of the night, welcome to my home. I ask that you make a donation to our cause. With your help, we will raise an army and defeat all who dare oppose us." Able to leave, fight if steal, thanks if donate.

Cleric/undead in a glass case next to scroll, trap releases them for a fight.

"If to pass the red door is what you desire, place the staff of life within the pool of fire."

Melmac, King of Bats!
