The Van Richten Visit
Keller gets to visit the active Grove, and finds a possible enemy sitting there. Druid Emma Duckthorne has a visitor who had hunted down potential vampire activity to the west.
Plot points/Scenes
Keller is introduced to the Druids & Hofgothi. There he is shown Slythra, the wyvern and the griffon.. Emma Duckthorne is present and introduces herself asking if Keller is here to worship, on a pilgrimage or willing to stay and help. She introduces him around ant two men that are visiting the region due to a mix of the Baobhan Sith, and a cave to the west that the Vampiric Wyrm was killed in by Magnar.
Their names are Josef van Richten (the older of the two), and Alcuin van Helsing (the younger of the two). They hunt all manner of horrible monstrosities but both have an abiding hatred of vampires after their own party was slaughtered by a high ranking vampire noble in the Carpathian Mountains.
He may be roped into helping these two checking the area to make sure that there is no more vampires or Baobhan Sith in the area to the west, and avoid giving away that he is a Dhampir.
Both suspect who or what he is and likely to reappear in the future after travelling to Hibernia. They will pass this way back home in the east.
They may also have information concerning Adalwolf saying she has wiped out a couple of minor settlements in the east to raise the dead and add a layer of protection around her valley cave.
Also, they have noticed in their investigations that a Star Spawn Seer was with her and it is due to return through Frankish land in a few days time after collecting a moonstone totem of a tentacled humanoid figurine. It plans to use this for some ritual in the far west on the shores of the Atlantic.
They may find that there is a vampire and 2 1d4 vampire spawn in the west hidden in or around the cave and part of a forward group probing the area to see what happened to the vampiric wyrm.
On top of that, van Richten may mention that he was contacted by a female in the night concerning a possible vampire in Eschbach but wanted to check out if there was, and what their intentions were.
