Modern
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.

Actions
Multiattack
The chuul makes two pincer attacks. If the chuul is grappling a creature, the chuul can also use its tentacles once.
Pincer
Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 14) if it is a Large or smaller creature and the chuul doesn't have two other creatures grappled.
Tentacles
One creature grappled by the chuul must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. Until this poison ends, the target is paralyzed. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
