A group of citizens had tried to take down the vampire tyrant Marcellus ruling the region. The mission could not have gone more wrong. Guards dragged in those still alive in chains. The vampire spoke “I do not intend to make martyrs of you all. Beg and pledge your allegiance to me with a blood oath and you will live.” The man beside you cursed him. You watched in horror as the man was dragged to Marcellus and drained of blood. Then his eyes fell to you. “Your turn. Pledge allegiance. Now.”
