The meandering Regin River runs to the north of town and Reginsville was founded in 1767 by a dwarf in the British army who claimed
he was the Regin the Dwarf of legend and that his brothers
had been Fafnir the Dragon-Giant and Otter the river going otter.
Regardless of its mythical origins Reginsville had since 1767 attracted a population of ordinary humans,human-monsters with a Big Problem and monster=monsters who figured they didn't actually have a Big Problem and it was everyone else in town who was bleeped royally.
In the case of Count Ty,Count of Strakker he looked like a ordinary 15 year old American kid at night and as a undead corpse in a 200 year old coffin filled with blood during the day.
So Ty was a vampire with his Big Problem,not that he spent his days in a blood filled coffin but that he was a vampire with The Power,which was a issue for this two centuries old teen.
For whatever mythical or paranormal reason the area around Reginsville had two features of interest to its monstrous citizens
ONE every thirty three years the planetary and ley line alignments were such that
The Power that transformed ordinary humans into human-monsters and monster-onster-monsters was ON and it was the time that folks like Eileen could go through the ceremony and process of making the one way trip of becoming a huge ill tempered firebreather,a monster-monster.
TWO the monstrous citizens of Reginsville had discovered that there was some blessing and or curse that prevented them from acting out their monstrous drives whilst in the vicinity of Reginsville,which in the case of fire breathing drafons meant robbing and eating travellors,ashing knights,kidnapping maidens and lairing in a cold damo cavern atop a Cursed Dragons Hoard.
So when Eileen had hinted she wanted to be turned into a fire breathing dragon both Ty and her had been well aware that she wasn;t talking about getting transformed into some sort of scaly doll sized sex kitten but
but more the mythical version,the sixty foot long fire breathing winged serpent from Hell version.
Count Ty kept silent for a few minutes,to allow Eileen the chance to say she DID NOT really mean she wanted to be turned into a fire breathing dragon
what a Reginsville-ite would call a monster-monster
