The chapter below was translated from a manuscript, found by the brave Bretonnian errant Curtio du Bois de Bucq, during the third campaign to reclaim Mousillon from the undead.
“… and it was then, in a time when my master was hunted by the crazed mobs of Bretonnian witch hunters, that we were relieved from our perils from an unexpected twist of fate.
After our previous laboratory was burned down again by our renegade enemies, my great and wise master Herr Blechbecher decided it was time to find a new and more secret lair to continue our most truly experiments. During nightfall, we packed the most necessary artifacts and books, heading for the unknown.
It was when the bells of
Mousillon sounded
the change of day when we came across a brotherhood of night creatures, calling
themselves Blood
Dragon Vampires.
If not for my Master’s genius act, we would not have survived this encounter.
Before we were decapitated at once by their swift and merciless swords, Herr
Blechbecher spotted the lifeless bodies of
two women, burned to the stake. In a moment of total ingenuity, he claimed “I
possess the power to resurrect your lovers !”
As a matter of fact, both women appeared to be the respective lovers of the vampire brothers Drachzahn, and they were burned by the same witch hunters that burned down our sacred house. Having the attention of both vampires, he promised to bring back to life and restore the beauty of the women if they did not kill us and share a sip from my master’s own invention the “Graal Tenebreux”.
So tremendous was their grief that they accepted without questioning my master’s true motives. During my master’s ritual performance of resurrection, both Mannfred and Rudolf drank the dark juices of the Grail. When my master was finished, both women turned out to be really witches in their former lives, ending up now as ethereal banshees instead of beautiful women. Fortunate for us, the contents of the Dark Grail were already working, turning both brothers into minions of my supreme master Blechbecher, mindlessly obeying all of his wishes.
Having now two fighting machines at his disposal, the plan formed in his head to
get even with all our enemies by becoming the hunter, and only stop until all
our enemies were turned into corpses on which could be performed our sacred
experiments …
The original manuscript suddenly stops here. It was believed to be of the hand of Herr Schädelsammler, apprentice of the infamous Necromancer Lord Herr Blechbecher. It was the only document found describing what might have happened in the lands of the DragonRiders in a not so recent past …
