Or is it 4?
I don't remember.
The party is in the ruined catacombs under the temple district.
They are supposed to be just doing recon on the place, but instead have decided to take on an ancient vampire and his minions by themselves.

The party is cold and drafty in the morning. As the party wakes up not a single ray of light is coming in through the crack in the previous room. Instead the wind is whistling and the skies look dark. It'll probably rain soon.
