Count John Tropula

Count John Tropula, or John, is a vampire and the proprietor of Hell's Pit.

Description
John is an average-sized vampire, of about 5'11". He has slicked-back black hair, dark brown eyes, and chiseled features. He is usually found in either formal attire, which includes a black suit, tie, and cape, or his pajamas.

John is amicable and welcoming to travelers.

History
John is an adventuring fighter with an interest in treasure and hidden things. He discovered a farmstead on such an adventure that had access to clean drinking water in a remote location near the southern tip of The Reaching Woods. He offered coin and resources to the people living there in exchange for services, and developed the farmstead into a hamlet. He named the hamlet Hell's Pit. The denizens of Hell's Pit are further provided free room and board by John.

Being a good-aligned vampire, John refuses to kill humans. He has the blood of stirges imported and converts them himself to a tonic to sate his blood thirst.

When he began to fear that he would outlive the denizens of Hell's Pit, who he had grown fond for, he offered to turn them into vampires so that they would have immortality as he does. They all consented to the change, and John provides his tonics so that they never feel too thirsty. The residents of Hell's Pit all regard Tropula highly.

Campaign Activity
John was first introduced to the party when they arrived at Hell's Pit. He told them of the irritating skeleton invasions the hamlet was experiencing at night and asked the party to figure out why and from where the skeletons came.

John later revealed that he was a vampire to the party, which came as no real surprise.
