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
Bite
Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 30 (4d12 + 4) piercing damage.
Deadly Leap
If the bulette jumps at least 15 ft. as part of its movement, it can then use this action to land on its ft. in a space that contains one or more other creatures. Each of those creatures must succeed on a DC 16 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target's choice) or be knocked prone and take 14 (3d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (3d6 + 4) slashing damage. On a successful save, the creature takes only half the damage, isn't knocked prone, and is pushed 5 ft. out of the bulette's space into an unoccupied space of the creature's choice. If no unoccupied space is within range, the creature instead falls prone in the bulette's space.
