boring? That's a story arch, in my book.
"So... uh... adventurers. fun fact, I'm a Vampire, but chill out. Myself and my spawn keep this barony running. But a rival leader has started going around freeing my spawn.
You can either try to kill me, which would free ALL of them to do whatever they want.
Or you can take out the other vampire and restore things back to the status quo."
