The small town of Havenridge, MO nestled in the Ozarks hides secrets


Author's Note: Havenridge, Missouri (population ~1,200), is a quiet town in the rolling hills near the Ozarks—a place of grain silos, Friday night football, and unspoken secrets. Beneath its sleepy surface, a hidden threat has taken root: a cabal of vampires, led by a cunning patriarch, has been manipulating the town for decades. Feeding on its people, controlling key figures, and covering their tracks, they’ve kept Havenridge as their private hunting ground. Recently, their grip has tightened—disappearances are up, strange markings appear on livestock, and a pervasive dread hangs in the air. The players, whether locals or newcomers, stumble into this bloody mystery and must unravel the vampires’ hold before the town becomes a ghost town. Tone and Themes Modern Horror: Everyday life meets visceral terror—think Salem’s Lot with a Missouri drawl. Vampire Conspiracy: The undead aren’t just monsters; they’re schemers with tendrils in the town’s power structure. Survival Stakes: The PCs fight to save their community from a slow, predatory drain.

Description

This prism has 50 charges. While you are holding it, you can use an action to speak one of three command words to cause one of the following effects: The first command word causes the gem to shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. This effect doesn't expend a charge. It lasts until you use a bonus action to repeat the command word or until you use another function of the gem. The second command word expends 1 charge and causes the gem to fire a brilliant beam of light at one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become blinded for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. The third command word expends 5 charges and causes the gem to flare with blinding light in a 30 foot cone originating from it. Each creature in the cone must make a saving throw as if struck by the beam created with the second command word. When all of the gem's charges are expended, the gem becomes a nonmagical jewel worth 50 gp.
