...

In the night, in the graveyard, the sound of footsteps broke the silence in that leaf-crunching, mud-squeaking way that only two pair of feet trying to be quiet can produce. Along with it went the rustling of tweed clothes and suspended, but hastened breathing. Also, something was slowly pulled through the mud, with some effort at that. One breath was evidently filled with more labor than the other.

The sleepy owl opened one eye and took a peek down from the high branches where it sat, wondering who was disturbing its rest and why?

A high, imposing crypt made out of stone, placed around the western wall of the graveyard, casted a long shadow under the faint moonlight. It was an old thing, closed with heavy oak doors chained in brass, angels captured in marble forever weeping on its sides. The brass plate on the door wore an old, famous name.

Footsteps stopped in front of it. A sigh followed, then a quiet thud of something heavy being let down on the ground with quite a relief. And then, two quiet voices started conversing.

"Here we are, Collins" said the first voice readily, a voice of some authority and learning.

"Now, before we enter, once again: are you sure we have everything needed?"

The other voice, breathier, shakier voice of someone tired from carrying the heavy chest through the graveyard, at midnight, in situation in which, let's face it, the owner wasn't quite keen of being in anyway, spoke back. It had a tired note to it. It had a scared one, as well.

"Yes, sir. Everything is there. You packed it yourself. Are we...Are we going to enter the crypt right away?"

"Mph..."

The sound of first voice was undecipherable. It could meant anything, from "yes" to "let's go back, nothing to see here" or something entirely else. Collins hoped so much it was the following. And he would settled with something else as well, but was fearing the very first option was statistically more probable. Professor was of those men which, once pushed in the right direction, wouldn't stop until they would slam into the hard wall. Or probably, until it crashed over them.

"Professor..." Collins started, hating his voice for trembling already "How sure are we about all this? Really, I mean? I mean, yes, the family of the va...of...of the deceased asked you to check and all that and it is an admirable step in the field of investigating unknown and unnatural, but if we are to face a real vam...a living dead... Professor, are you sure we're truly equiped for such a task?"

There was a short silence.

"Collins..." said the professor slowly.

Collins's voice contained a flicker of hope.

"Yes?"

"You're rambling. Let's go."

Firm footsteps boldly climbed the marble stairs. The heavy door creaked under the steady hand pushing it open. The poignant smell of dirt, rotten mushrooms and something else, something unknown and aware under all that, filled the air. Footsteps went through it.

A quiet sigh hanged in the air, still outside. Its owner waited, reluctantly persuading his own feet to move. Come on, now... one step, two...

A loud thud from the crypt broke through the air. Collins jumped, his heart beating somewhere behind his ears. But Professor's voice boomed over all.

"Collins, IN HERE, immediately! I need that chest, RIGHT NOW!"

His feet now moved on their own. First forward, then quickly back, then forward again, Collins remembered taking the chest and pulled it as fast as he could, his insides turning into cold jelly of unknown flavor. Strawberry, probably. He hated strawberry jelly.

Metal framing of the heavy chest made a screeching noise over stone floor. Collins closed his eyes. He wondered if facing his first vampire with his eyes closed would be a problem. He didn't know.

But was soon to find out.

The Vampire Killer Set contains set of different vampire killing tools, packed into faux ebony box in faux metal frame, filled with everything you might need to kill a vampire.

The chest measures as following: 5 cm (1.96 inch) long, 3 cm (1.18 inch) wide, 4 cm (1.57 inch) high

In order to be relatively short in description, everything, from faux ebony, to pieces of coal or rice or phosphorus is handmade (cut, painted, sewn, bound, carved, smithed and everything else (salt is real, though)). Even the hinges, latch and handles, yes. And rice, yes. And matches really burn, yes (though I frankly have no idea how to light them, being too small for rubbing onto anything).

The set contains following:

Chest - 1
Leather Wrap for Stakes and Mace - 1
Stakes - 3
Mace -1
Candle - 1
Holy book (empty) - 1
Holy Water Bottle - 1
