Jonathan, the 32nd Lord of Bloodhaven, would rather stay in his castle studying ancient lore. The Blood Alliance Department of Taxation puts an end to that. With only his butler Miles still at his side, Jonathan takes on dangerous work to raise the money to get his castle back.

## What makes it funny?

A visit from vampire tax collectors leaves Jonathan with a dressing gown and bunny slippers. It’s a rough start for a man with a grand title, especially when the next people he has to deal with are bandits and werewolves.

### The comedy at work

Estrella gives a vampire the sort of problem nobody wants to handle: a tax bill. Jonathan can tell you about ancient lore, but the work that could get his home back calls for a sword he barely knows how to use.

### Try this if…

There are monsters and dangerous jobs here, with an adventurer who would be happier in his library. If you enjoy fantasy that makes a job out of fighting monsters and an institution out of being a vampire, Jonathan has reason to complain about both.
